[coarse sentinel]

<@&509690795536941056> , can you pass feedback to the dev’s that one QoL improvement that could make the squall more viable is to lower the mat costs for the upgrades in the lower tiers. I mean for crying out loud it has 18 tiers to get through. And as a G3 ship, the mats are completely out of whack to what I would expect.

Also, it doesn’t seem like it benefits from any of the G3 research for improving the costs of upgrades. That should be fixed.

The research needs a HUGE bump up because at Tier 1, it’s horribly behind G6 players selkie’s in mining common, uncommon, rare nodes. Either make the upgrades and research easier for G6 players to see value by enabling us to get it to mid-tier levels OR change it so the research and base mining speeds are dramatically improved. If you do that, fix the cargo as well as it should be able to hold significantly more at Tier 1 if you make it that difficult to upgrade.

Lastly, the cooldown should be removed for the ship ability Automated Defense. Or just remove the cooldown and make it always active.

[runic meadow]

That might make it useful, why would they want to do that, they have probably sold their quota, so it’s back slapping time.

[runic meadow]

Look at the fun I’m having🙄

[vivid delta]

If this is what the future looks like, then the game may as well be turned off!

Even the battlepass events have now been announced in advance and even then its repetition. Log in for an hour a day, complete everything and go about your day.

[torn jewel]

So, no-one thought to put the transogen as a scoring metric for this?
Such a simple thought, and was overlooked

[copper shadow]

well they have those specific events so you know which days you can spend 18hrs a day just mining transogen

[vagrant vale]

For all the complaints about the new hazard systems insta-destroying none squall ships, I particularly like setting out a miner knowing it can't be hit in PVP whilst mining. The PC is also pretty decent.

[vivid delta]

I’ve still not engaged with Continuum hostiles or the last Augment hostiles 🤣 I’ll just do my dailies and the bare minimum thanks ☺️

[copper shadow]

oh I do the same do what I can and say poof to the rest if the rewards aren't worth the effort after all this game is supposed to be a time passer not a time waster and we all know which of those 2 options it is even on the best of times over past 7 years

[clear salmon]

It would crash the game if added

[tacit zephyr]

That's exactly what I'm doing.

[signal palm]

BORING!!

[crude lily]

Not being able to use the 5* mats from boxes in these events is just plain stupid, lower level 60's can't hit the big ships in enough volumes without spending massive amounts of materials in repairs to complete with usable pve box rewards (61+). Will be sitting on tons of 5* junk now.

[earnest thunder]

Are you actually not able to put the same information here as in the info about the game????

[hollow flare]

You get 5 - 10 seconds before you explode, tested it with someone when they dropped from our alliance and my Borg beam killed their ship before I exploded

[fossil kernel]

2nd time now that my game won't load. Stops at 61%. I was dealing with lag in game so I cleared local, cache, data, removed the game, restarted my game, and reloaded to have it stop at 61%

[copper shadow]

they have a prime loading research that just came out costs $9,999,999 in case you're interested zerologan

but on a serious note ya it's not a you problem its on their side and the antique servers they're using to handle the game they've overloaded with stuff in today's age they need state of the art servers considering they keep upping the data with every content addition.

[ocean crypt]

when you put up an event for hostiles, where basically there are no hostiles, you should have added hostiles to kill free range, not have pilots waiting a minute or more between the lack of hostiles that do appear, you've turned this game into a mickey mouse game, total lack of professionalism

[clever stirrup]

Please next time put hostiles in the systems so I don’t have to autogrind .. impossible on my server when you have a player that’s hits you all the time . Very difficult to finish an event like this

[late siren]

No more spending or levelling Ops until proper recruit SLB & SMS events. Not wasting on Choice recruit tokens for officers I’ve already got

[unreal coral]

more mining - shocker, what a tedious arc so far

[digital forge]

<@&509690795536941056> - The changes to the officer spend events and sourcing moved SO MANY of us from dolphins to F2P/ battle pass only customers. They are bad - just bad. Please remind the overlords that our sentiments from last month remain, lol. Thats if you can get them to remove their eyes from the vengeance spend spreadsheets.... sigh.

[dim vortex]

Where are the events? Day 3 and still nothing but the tedious mine, autogrind, mine cycle. There’s nothing to do in game!

[echo cedar]

This flashpoint arc is missing something... Flashy and pointy

[copper shadow]

another day of mining man this is soooooo exciting if its not pvp being shoved down our throats it's mining their is so many things scopley can do for events and arcs for that matter but nope we have to do the things that are either the most boring(mining) or the most insane (pvp) due to inept brackets of range of victims yes i said it victims because no one can handle taking on someone 15lvs or more higher than they are in a pvp between ships

[cosmic olive]

Month 1 had to many events (2 daily BP events (normal and Ferengi), wave BP, Flashpoint grind, Scotty grind events). I guess they heard the feedback and overcompensated.
Welcome to 5 more months of transogen mining …

[subtle nest]

Congrats, your no longer playing StarTrek fleet commander, this is now StarTrek fleet mining!

[wild pelican]

It's not even that when you get auto recalled out of nowhere every day.

[jade oxide]

Im good with the repeating events after the chaos of last month

[fluid igloo]

Thanks for letting us relax after that grindy last arc, my other loops were getting jealous

[ocean crypt]

the transogen hazards are a total farce, as no ops 62 warship can get 100% base resistance, not even a ops 65 warship can get 100% hazard resistance, nevermind higher for higher sites, total joke and absolute disgrace to the players what you are doing here, even dropping the 60 and lower to 20% is still a joke considering you want ops mid 30s to hunt and mine there also

[sinful hemlock]

For the limited time artifact hunt daily events, there should not be a cooldown for artifacts. Especially not a 2 day one. Artifact hunts only have 12 hours so there should not be a cooldown on the artifact tokens turning in.

[hazy hare]

How to participate in Distinction Extinction SLB if I’m 55 and other 67, 69, with most powerful cubes (attached power by op levels)
All top50 players are over op60

[molten sinew]

Need to change today’s Scotty Engineering event from Suliban Hunt (Heroic) to Suliban Hunt (Unachievable, event though you fell for the hype and bought a 💩 ship that was supposed to kill the new bad guys only to fail on the first attempt with weakest hostile, to then get it to max T2 where it is not much better). Compensation chest for all players who are still putting up with this debacle.

[high aurora]

There’s heroic, and then there’s an overturned event. Considering how bad.y hazard damage eats our hull, this is way overturned. 12 trips with a t15 cube….come on Scopely. I guess I’ll have to drop down to a lower system and just park a ship there and not be able to use it for the rest of the day..

My alternative is dropping my cube in the level 62 system and autogrinding just under 200 hostiles...woof

[vestal cloak]

Speed up the chasers!

[high aurora]

they almost seem to be on a 90 second timer now. They were at 60 seconds before

Just for the sake of math. 200 hostiles at 90 seconds each is 5 hrs of autogrinding 62's for an ops 67's top milestone

[wild pelican]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who hates the scoring metric of these.

[ashen notch]

The sole scoring mechanic of an event should never be chasers like suliban. The primary scoring mechanic should be the regular system hostiles while the chasers are extra points, like they are in Exile space.

[heady glacier]

We should be able to hit floaters, but I can’t seem to. Ones that are frozen. Could last month. That made things a tad easier

[wild pelican]

This just proves Scopely doesn't have anybody that plays this game on their staff. Otherwise they'd know how bonked this is.

[vestal cloak]

@hazy hare why are 50s in same bracket as 60s anyway?

[hollow lichen]

Hope everyone enjoys this heroic, another one on the 10th and then 2 more later this month. Maximum engagement!

[high aurora]

If by engagement you mean set my ships in a 60 and 62 system and go take a long nap, I'm going to be fully engaged!

[elfin nest]

Alpha Nerra spawns lvl 42 transports even though its a 44 system...Beta Nerra which is a 46 system spawns lvl 46 transports...so wth are the 44 transports?

[vestal cloak]

Has anyone seen these very stealthy stealth cruisers?

[ripe forge]

They are epically stealthy - only in the new epic transogen systems

[old mason]

<@&509690795536941056> The Scotty's Engineering Events are not fun. I know they are optional but still boring.
Here is an example, at lvl 56, of my events.
Day 1) go mine a bunch of transogen. Take damage as you mine (I don't bother with xo comp). Pull back repair send out. 2.5+ hours of mining with 7 ships (2 nova and each of the faction 4* miners at high levels)

Day 2) Put 7 of my strongest ships around transogen systems and auto grind suliban chasers. Pull back, repair, send back out. Another 3 hours of doing nothing

This is all resource management and boring as all can be. Really killing the fun in the game.
Just feedback, please use as you will. I like the game just not the events. I'm only doing them for the choice recruit currency to catch up on officers.

[shut aurora]

Yet another event where Scopely doesn’t have a single freaking clue about how screwed up they’ve made these last two arcs.

Seriously, what is the point of listening to player feedback if you’re going to ignore everything we beg and plead of you to not do and then go ahead and do it

Using either a maxed Rotarran with the best crew recommended and the best FT/CT or a T7 Minerva, I cannot hit above level 56 on these new auto grinding hostiles. I recently made it to 66 and waiting to build my new ship and the point values required for the SMS are just astronomical compared to what I can actually hit.

[vestal cloak]

Thanks, was wondering

[toxic wraith]

Pike Moreau,annorax, Hugh, 3 voyager rare, IE, Torres,Kim,neelix, chappell, quasi, wok Joachim, can hit 62 transports 5 to 6 hull(hazards take 80% of your hull),
At cc 60 Kirk max warp can kill 3 or 4 suliban runners in 64 system hazard takes rest
Ft rare for ints, and CT, one gives apex barrier,crit chance, and shield repair, ops 65,
But yeah no rhyme or reason hazards should be so high

[arctic herald]

4 hours 20 mins for the scotty event. rewards are worth an hour at most.

[sinful hemlock]

how exactly are we supposed to do artifact hunt when the cooldown for artifacts is 2 days?

[molten marlin]

you need to host formation armadas for the premium tokens

[shut aurora]

Current setup

[shut aurora]

Better! Thx. Got 13 lvl 60

[toxic wraith]

Your original setup would only work if their damage was less and you had higher shields, you also using the Minerva.
You are better off using maxed G 5 epic, higher damage output.
You'd find you could most probably endlessly grind 60s. But up to you

[shut aurora]

I will switch back to the G5 epic and try

[summer torrent]

you can spend temporal disruptors. thats what ive been doing

[sharp lark]

Looks like they may not be able to due to player level.

[open panther]

Just adding to the mountain of feedback about the Scotty event for today. When you needlessly restrict the hostiles to kill for points it leads to unnecessary hurt feelings and conflict.

Also, restricting points to hostiles that only spawn into the system by “anger”, commonly referred to as “chasers” you extent the time required to complete the event becuase they spawn one at a time… hence the grind that you are so keen on saying you’ve “fixed” but you just can’t help but keep adding to. 🤦‍♂️

If your intent is to force more PvP which leads to frustration in most players who leave the game and lower your profit margin….mission accomplished!

[opaque hawk]

yes, again, like i said the other day, stop with the events that can ONLY be completed by waiting for autogrinders to hit you

[hollow wigeon]

So @quasi ingot the event description clearly stated, that we would have a spending event to gain Black Ops M'Benga Shards.
Yet the spending event only shows officer depot tokens ...

[somber ocean]

So... Which was the mistake? M'Benga shards in the announcement?

OR

the event that actually proc'd?

[sacred goblet]

scopely is a mistake...
this SLB/SMS recruit events become more worthless every arc...

[vagrant topaz]

Anyone else bored of this Cosmic Choice rubbish? We want the new officers, how hard is that to understand.

[amber wyvern]

Cosmic Choice is fine yet two things that would make them better.

1. Let Transport Patterns be changed into Cosmic Choice Tokens
2. Get officers into Cosmic Choice faster or at least at a reliable pace so that we can predict.

[hollow wigeon]

It would be best if we could get both. New officers as well as Cosmis Choice Tokens for older crew.

[sacred goblet]

And i see in the calendar, there is only ONE material spend event this month...... im loosing intrest in this game...

[rustic bison]

If you're going to push cosmic choice and forego ARC officer sms/slb then put those officers in the choice buckets... Or at the very least update the officer buckets monthly. This choice concept for 3-4 month old officers is bad design

[vagrant topaz]

Honestly, I’m at a loss to figure out how their minds work. At least give us half a chance to unlock the new officers they relentlessly pump into the game…

[sacred goblet]

<@&509690795536941056>
What is going on? Where is the M'benga shards annouced/promised?

[somber ocean]

IMO it'll be the ascendant thing next week just like last month. Don't know why Scopely had decided that hiding the events is a better idea. Not like ALL their players PREFER TO PLAN or anything...

[rustic bison]

If your goal is to encourage progression, then actually encourage progression not...welp, I'm going to save my mats for another week/month...

[amber wyvern]

I was debating if I go beyond ops 50 last month and decided to stay at 50 ... I might this month yet have not started my push yet. Maybe next month will be good.

[hollow wigeon]

I have made the decision to not wait for anything anymore with important pushes. Does not matter really and Scopely are not consistent anyway.

[somber ocean]

I think the original announcement was incorrect. It'll probably be the ascendency event next week for M'Benga.

[sacred goblet]

TBF im not working in multimillion company to make that mistakes, and if I've been working in one, i would keep my promises

[covert wadi]

Please listen. Officer Depot is a terrible replacement for the old way. It is terrible in general because you already did it with transporter patterns and then abandoned it like all things. Please stop making this game worse.

[raw bramble]

Try this too. You can crank out a good 30mins or so of hostiles even with hazard. I still take 5% hazard dmg due to research restrictions.

[woven kettle]

Occasional officer depot weekend is great. Letting us use prior gen materials is also great. But keeping flipping stupid inflated SMS milestones with reduced scoring? What the actual flip? You’re just being downright malicious. You know what you’re doing and you need to stop. Stop messing us over and try having some decency. Officer depot is an awesome catch up mechanic. Allow prior gen materials with regular milestones, not this inflated nonsense for OLD officers. Old isn’t bad, but charging a premium in spending for old is crazy

[thorn belfry]

was this ticketed event always supposed to be so hard to complete?

[ornate jasper]

Great to see Scopley listened to the feedback 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[covert wadi]

They do not listen. They hear us talk about things and then react but never actually listen to what we say

[sacred goblet]

Remember, Scopely need a feedback to make game oposite to the feedback given

[late orchid]

Bring back the old officer slbs for the new officers. This officer depot is lame.

[raw bramble]

Usually look to the MU tree for this. Easy way to complete the event

[thorn belfry]

alas my MU tree is done :/

[errant jetty]

Why is it that whenever a new event, IE this Serene Squall Events, that the timer on that event is soo quick?!? Many players can't even collect that many shards in that short of time in order to complete those Mission requirements. If those at Scopely wish to keep players happy, do not cater to the idea of purchase requirements to succeed in such missions. I've seen another gaming Mogul try this, and it literally caused gameplay to wither away due to only a handful of people paying to play overpowers the others, causing only those who play to be the only ones left. That is not the definition of Free To Play, that is a defined condition under Gambling Addiction and Promotion

[main tendon]

Awful decision to change the SLB.

[boreal coyote]

8 trips with 3 novas. You people are wack

This equates to 18 hours of mining. ( just over 668k uncommon needed, can you not math? ) Why have you 100% ignored players on this? Also, the choice rewards only bytes. Where are all the regular events. Lots of bad for the players all lined up. Are you honestly trying to get even more people to quit?

[queen kindle]

What level are you?

[boreal coyote]

54. It’s overly punishing. They keep raking my level over the coals.

[queen kindle]

I've escalated the difficulty of this event, but it's probably just heroic and getting a name change.

[boreal coyote]

Then the main card, or at least the overflow should also say heroic. Aye? It’s also the only “new” content on the docket today. They are just phoning it in now.

[dusky sleet]

mining rare might be the better choice i think. i was mining with two maxed g4 miners on rare and a g3 miner on common. it took a while but was able to complete the event in about 5-6 runs. still too much work for a single event imo

[boreal coyote]

What system? The ones I checked on stfc aren’t lining up

[dusky sleet]

reeka, unas-tol level 50 systems

[boreal coyote]

I’ll recalculate time for full rare ( later 😂 )

[undone iron]

Suggestion for events. Publish a schedule and stick to it. Let people get excited and also don't change the spend event and mess with plans. I know you announced that choice token event but you also had listed the new Epic as a student event starting today and never said anything about it.

Your inconsistency drives players to distrust everything you do.

[sacred goblet]

I have bad news for you... shhh... They... Don't.... Care

[molten ridge]

Cosmic recruits for spend event. Unobtainium levels of sms milestones.

[calm salmon]

Where is this event?

[ornate jasper]

They cancelled it and swapped it for something else to annoy everyone

[calm salmon]

They really managed to annoy the players with this.

[acoustic token]

This month’s been pretty lackluster, no good events, no decent rewards, no new officer shards. Just a boring event with the new miner ship, which some of us don’t even have yet. Add in the hazard, and it makes things even worse. It’s getting really boring, honestly. Very bored. After all the time I’ve put into this game, I’m honestly just about done with it.

[rustic bison]

That's fair... The rewards have been getting worse consistently for a while

[sharp lark]

Officer Depot is a ridiculous addition, too expensive, and overall largely useless.

[untold oasis]

I can already give feedback on Arc Part 2 . The event is...💩 and everything surrounding it is 💩 . Scopely did a great job, keep it up💪 . That was sarcasm. 👈 ......🖖

So if things continue like this, I'll be playing Minecraft again. Besides, Minecraft doesn't put too much of a strain on my wallet.🧐 ...😂 ...🖖

[fringe tree]

<@&509690795536941056> the product, managers and developers are all over the place. In one ARC. Do you have a lot of events, but you’ve got them putting overflow in one section and other things in another section. I mean it was nice to have a lot of events, but it was chaos.

And now he went to complete opposite, where you have one event and then we’re twirling our thumbs wondering, what the hell to do in the game. Because we’re so bored of mining and grinding. The sheer lack of understanding of what players want in need is astounding…. With The incompetence at level. I’ve never seen before.

It’s like the blind leading the blind. And then the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing at the same time the blind I’m leading the blind.

[verbal lion]

Guys, can you please not swing so wildly? Last month there were tons of events, this month there are next to none... Could you perhaps find a good middle ground instead of feast and famine?

[near valve]

Flashpoint was supposed to be a six month arc. Six months of smashing Huraks and mining transogen three weeks out of every month. If they had stayed with their original plan, we'd be fighting Huraks again today. I'm guessing they didn't have a backup plan after it was so negatively received last month, so they just dropped it.

[outer dome]

at least some time for "outside" or other loops... - next week you wil lbe busy again

[verbal lion]

Boldly go was actually kinda good, giving rewards for engaging in old loops. I didn't mind the Khan's challenges either, the problem with them was the scoring and pacing.

[untold oasis]

And the thing with the new ship. I seriously wonder if Scopely lost a bet. Because instead of coming up with something beautiful, they're churning out this ugly thing. The entire creative department has now been handed over to AI. Are there still people (living, breathing, thinking people) at Scopely, 👀 ???

👀 👀

[vagrant topaz]

It has been cancelled🫤. However, as always, only for people who have set English as a game language. If you have activated German as a language, always forget to notify recurring. 90 percent of my alliance was extremely angry yesterday.

Since years first and second weekend material donation event for new officer. Simply cancelled 🤷🏻‍♂️. And even more stop the game. Sometimes I think at Scoply some employees get extra bonus if they get even more players to give up

[brittle fulcrum]

you could almost call it fraud or deliberate deception.

[copper shadow]

they asked me to spend 1m g5 unc for the heroic event well thats super heroic event by heroic standards I've been at my current ops 3 months and never seen your heroic events get that big for points needed and ya run them at least once a week

[sacred goblet]

Try to imagine how many ppl bought packs to spend it for mbenga shards and then get this....
anyway scopely doesn't care. It is like it is.
Have you heard any respond from a Scopely team? No, cause they know if there wont by any discusion, then all of that fade away.
If the company would be in Europe, they will get hit by legal company, but it's not, so they do everything what they want.
They can Scam us, lie to us, take back stuff what been bought, and we can't do anything about it.

[brittle fulcrum]

I just can't wrap my head around how someone could destroy a community that had been running smoothly for years. And it's sure to get much worse.

[crystal goblet]

I almost feel that someone at Scopely HQ is deliberately sabotaging this game without the knowledge of other people so they can sell it to someone at a ridiculous price. This is too intentional and this is probably one of their higher grossing games

[errant chasm]

Does anyone else have the issue with the new ship being blown up randomly by a chaser even through the auto defenses are engaged?

[molten marlin]

There's an old bug when a hostile hits you while mining, it doesn't always reseat you on the node, the defenses don't work when you're off the node, so you go boom

[signal ferry]

So do any of the following events exist anymore? This has been a maintenance mode arc for most of our alliance

1. Chaos attack
2. Specialty ship upgrade
3. Specialty Buildings upgrade
4. Faction Credit spend events
5. Basically any events outside of auto grind Hurak or mine transogen?
   I feel like we went from the one extreme with having boldly go a ton of inarc events and tons of extra missions to this

[errant chasm]

Do they plan on addressing it since its kind of the point of the ship?

[ocean crypt]

farsical scotty hunting event, hazard spaces and only chasers to kill, which take time to re-appear, total joke how you are running these events

[frail glacier]

also a drip of token space tokens is a money grab for sure

[worldly cedar]

Board Boring yawn. Poor events Poor rewards. Have you run out of ideas? Grind Mine rinse repeat.

[umbral ravine]

i am sick to death of these heroic events. if i have to spend anymore of my day just to complete them i'm going to start claiming a wage from you guys

[gray stirrup]

Y'all should cut some hostiles out of the Scotty event. Multiple ships taking 3-4 hours because of auto-grinding is ridiculous.

[gray stirrup]

It's their m.o.

[graceful tundra]

This has been one of the most boring weeks that I can remember.

[jolly condor]

I'm done this event goes no where. To many 5 star hulls for reds that just don't fit the game.

[short pier]

The milestones on this spend event are bonkers. I thought maybe it was just me but I looked at the scoreboard and only 12 people in my bracket of over 100 people have even hit the first milestone.

[modern spade]

<@&509690795536941056> would like to request that a Khan Challengers event series be put on the menu at some point… 🙏
Due to the refit shard limit per event, I’m sitting with four partials, looking at my inventory, would be nice to get a chance to finish some off 🙂
cheers 🍻

[simple shard]

just mine rare, its only 350k. should be done with 1 trip with 3 novas?

[subtle jasper]

Can't feedback on events, when there's no events to feedback on 🫣

[plush axle]

Scotty's grind event seems to fail when it comes to scoring.

[sturdy crown]

Why is the Ahead of the Curve event finishing 3 hours before the final points can be scored???? 💩💩💩

[amber wyvern]

This is the first month I remember not finishing Ahead of the Curve since the original ... something seems off with it.

[sturdy crown]

Needed another 100 points to complete, so spent FC stuff to get a place for the points and then noticed that the main MS event finishes early.

[short pier]

It finishes when you finished the previous SMS.

[sturdy crown]

And another thing. Why is there a notification showing on the Refinery button that can only be cleared by going into the Arena section? If you are not Ops 40 you are locked out and cannot clear it.

[short pier]

Or maybe not? Mine finished early too but I thought it did the same thing last time, idk. Broken a game.

[modern spade]

<@&509690795536941056>
At the time I pointed out some horrible mistakes in the events calendar, the recruit events that are running now were supposed to be for Black Ops MBenga :

#💬-events-feedback message

those events are now running for depot tokens, and in the amended calendar there is no event mentioned to source him.
Please let us know, how and when the officer be sourced… 🙏

[undone iron]

I'm getting the impression they don't care about actually providing better information. Just covering up their mistakes and changes. You feel the same?

I had posted the same complaint. Saw the news update in game and then noticed that they just changed that event. Add to that, most of the events this month aren't even listed in the calendar.

They're tacitly acknowledging that they don't have a well designed product/production plan that allows for clear communication.

[modern spade]

What’s worse is they’ve put out all this bumf about tactics for new crew including both new officers, and now pulled him.
It’s a free for all up there…

[humble sleet]

Roll over to 12:00 EST and suddenly lags so bad it’s completely unplayable…

[rose ice]

I'm Ops 50. There are no Relativity parts available to me in the Event store.

They were available to me in the last Ferengi pass store. Then they were not available to me in the Grandmaster Tournament store. And now not available to me again in this Ferengi store.

Is there a possible reason why?

[queen kindle]

What tier is your rela? It's often the case that parts no longer become available at a grade shift because of an ops lock.

[latent dove]

<@&509690795536941056> What happened with the Ahead of the curve officer turn in - are they not replacing it this time like they did before? and if not great notice on that......

[queen kindle]

It'll be back when the event's up.

[low remnant]

<@&509690795536941056>

The big issue with these Ferengi Event Stores is they are missing a ton of value compared to the big event stores we used to get every two months. We're missing some of the ship skins that were event store only, the event store fleet commander slot, as well as the oppritunity to source some newer ships (GS-31 not added this month? Most ships are added 3 months after they are introduced so where are they)?

If the event store is going to be the same stuff every month for the next 6 months, its overall fairly forgettable other than a few primes.

[gusty robin]

<@&509690795536941056> Transogen stuff should be added to the Master Surveyor BP event, the other specialty mining stuff scores for it.

[rose ice]

Thank you

And yep tier 5

Is it possible to explain why that's the case for Relativity only? And not other specialty ships (Monaveen, Eviscerator) I have at max tier for for my level?

[queen kindle]

It's not the rela that's only affected, it happens to a lot of ships. What's more unusual to me is that it doesn't happen to all of them.

[verbal surge]

I know you're not listening but this "get free stuff, pay to use it" mechanic needs to go asap.
It wasn't liked last run, it's not liked this copy paste run either

They probably simply don't want players to stockpile parts like that while camping before the grade shift. I'd move up in ops if these blocks are affecting your game play.

[civic pasture]

its crappy but its free rewards. they just trying to get more spend

[hard sentinel]

Why the currency change with the same ferengi exchange events? I missid spending my currency from the last exchange but saw it would be running again so didn't worry about it. Now the currency used in the first run can't be used for the exact same store that's running now. Why change it? Generating a new currency every time is extremely innefficient and clutters up the game. It also gatekeeps anyone that missed spending in the last store.

[wise rapids]

Why did you guys have the mining Monday event start about an hour ago and then take it down? Seriously you guys literally just announced that events would be resetting at this time instead of the hour later like it used to be so why did you undo it?

[potent hollow]

If they want people to spend more they need to add the stuff they had in the old event store. FC slot, ship skins, and stop this 100 BP limit nonsense.

[low remnant]

No FC Slot, No $$$!

[potent hollow]

Yep

[rose ice]

New Ahead of the Curve...

When will the new Admiral's Recruit Officer bundle be announced?

[oblique basin]

Why run a mining event the same day you have arenas? The events are mutually exclusive...

[shadow trellis]

So lat rush should be cancelled?

[unreal whale]

Came here to complain about this same thing. The old currency was already in the game. They specifically went out of their way to make a new one. Trying to understand the logic here. I'm beginning to think the devs thrive on misery and just hate to see people enjoy themselves. Like those Cable TV reps on that one South Park episode

[wheat pasture]

#💣-arena-feedback message

[hazy hare]

No Jobs speed up and no crystal in treasury this months? And no other parts than explorer? 😡😡😡😡😡

[molten marlin]

It's an explorer ship treasury with officers, they said they're trying something different

and it has all ship parts

[kindred aurora]

I lost points for the dock material event because of the magic ship recall bug

[uneven jolt]

Can we get more event this week? Last week have been so slow, i start playing other games. Nothing to grind, last arc was better. Better to have events that i dont have time to, then no event to do at all.

[calm horizon]

erm ...
quite often , there be some sort of question survey "we care , tell us how to improve" in my blue station billboard ...
so ...

mirror research event ?
spec. shipies upgrade event ?
pioneer crest research event ?
syndicate xp event ?
spec. building uppin event ?
wrath creds spend event ?
ex borg creds , dti creds , etc factions thingies spend event ?
ct uppin event ?
fc skillz event ?
artefacts uppin event ?

etc , etc , etc ...

make those events weekly based ...

improve 👍

and , daily slb events rewards are lame ... improve

[gloomy current]

More than a little false advertising here <@&509690795536941056> ?

[civic pasture]

events the first week was too little. i know last month was too many because too many of the events had absurd milestones. you either needed every ship minning and killing chasers that you couldnt do other events. you all need to calculate the time needed to do events. should only have 1 event a day that has a higher milestone while rest should take 15 min -30 min yo do.

[uneven jolt]

This is what happen when we complain about to much, better to not do what you cant do. Then don't have any events at all. First Arc of WOK was nice, first time i have grinded out and max a epic officer. Hope every arc can have that optoin, i can grind when i have time, and relax when i dont want to grind.

[turbid coyote]

the problem with adding repair speedup to a treasury because it contains ship parts is that very little people are actually wanting for repair speedups. what i do want is more regular speedups so that if i tier my ship it hurts less. in sigma this is especially an issue.

[woeful whale]

The weekly tc event ended before all the takeovers happened today. So that’s nice.

[charred void]

This happened last week too. Is there any way we can get this fixed ?

[woeful whale]

I didn’t o to e last week. This week I needed a few more minutes in a takeover to finish the weekly event. Our defense was the hour the event ended.

[vernal breach]

Arenas have gotten even worse with Novas taking 10+ days to fill in transogen token space and no way to replenish tokens regularly under building level 45.

Exclude miners from the auto recall and you'll likely see an uptick in participation.

[vague pike]

So we've another invasion this week and issue where IMS part 2 doesn't score for many EU players has not been addressed. Even though it was being "actively investigated" and we'd be "kept informed". If you want to know why there's a credibility issue and so many players aren't engaging with flashpoint, this would be a good place to start.

[smoky void]

Was really hoping there would be some improvements to the Serene Squall, I’m a fan of new ships as the refinery that comes with them provides really nice bonuses, for the Serene I bought it for the sigma speed ups. The first tier had a limited chest that gave a decent amount of 8 hour speed ups, I was happy with my purchase, but now at tier 2, there’s not a limited chest, it appears I have to wait till t5, which sucks. The ship is painfully slow to upgrade. I regret my choice to buy the ship

[trail solar]

I got this pop up constantly after upgrade. I had to repair install (on PC), it seems to be ok now.

[molten ridge]

y'all gonna do a trashpoints invasion this month, or is that DOA? how about a specialty ship spend event? How about a fleet commander spend event? How about an artifact spend event? what about a regular GQ Invasion?

This is the worst arc yet. it's boring as all get out.

[odd dock]

you will see the numbers in the pro site ... but given how they continued to refuse to compensate properly, im pretty sure its going to be another 4 months of DoA content.

we tried to warn them, but they just dont care ... well their bank balance will.

[sacred goblet]

it's all gonna happen when you used your hoarded materials for it

[lyric prairie]

What's going on with the Treasury. Missing Crystal as part of the payout

[serene void]

That's because it's a explorer friendly treasury. You'll notice that it'll float through every other one with ship parts and materials. The ones with materials switched through explorer friendly, battleship, friendly and interceptor friendly

[tropic orchid]

Те кто русский понимают почему тут такая тема миссии выполнил даже летал там видно но теперь там закрыто?

[jolly hound]

What's a guy gotta do to get a good Syndicate event again?

[rocky sleet]

Could we please get officer badges added to the Ferengi Exchange? Please? I'm sitting on many, many tiers of officers that I can't upgrade because I can't get command badges.

[ashen notch]

But no sigma speedups (and im not talking about the repair speedups nobody needs/wants). Not sure who made the decision to make sigma speedups so rare and expensive, but i hate them with the fires of a thousand suns.

[vale laurel]

<@&509690795536941056> So no schedule for the Ferengi BP events? SLBs? Anything?

[high aurora]

We don’t have banked materials in G6 right after a spend event weekend. There’s not enough of the alternate scoring to complete this. There’s not even a way to grind this. This event is terrible.

Looks like G6 get shafted again. Another event I can’t engage in. You guys need to make your mind up whether you expect players to save resources or not. Events like this just make your players angry. Find a way to make it completable without spending materials we don’t have or can’t spend.

[lime cove]

This rhetoric needs to stop. Especially after the "It's your own fault you can't do the content, you leveled up and skipped things" comment during the Q&A. This is completely tone deaf and insulting.

[ashen notch]

Please explain why the devs listed 1200 twice instead of 2400 once...

[queen kindle]

If your specialty ship is ops locked, and you can't develop it anymore, then it is already capable of fueling the loop where you stand. They won't give you a G6 ship to use against G4 content and fueling needs, that's just how it is.

[lime cove]

That doesn't mean that the rest of what you have is ready to Ops up. The default response of "just ops up." really needs to stop. Especially after last month's Arc launch and how it impacted fresh lvl 40s.

[queen kindle]

Then don't ops up if you believe you're underdeveloped everywhere else. You're stagnating your growth in that loop though.

[zenith wing]

I don't recall the last battle pass I saw without 2+ item entries in each milestone. you'll see that same behavior on regular pass choice tokens milestones

[sacred goblet]

Only scopely could design event, which favor whales/ dolphins and wont let f2p get a chance to get even officer shards ;d

[lime cove]

See? this is what I'm talking about. How do you not see how condescending that is? You're simultaneously telling people to ops up over one loop and blaming them for being underdeveloped in other areas. 100% tone deaf.

[sacred goblet]

you are terrible wrong. Im being ops 60 could do all of things TOTALY easy, but when jumped to 61 the new events been impossible to do for fresh G6 players with all of the scopely things want you to achieve.
even now im struggle of getting any uncommons g6 new stuff having a maxed g5 epic entD ....

[queen kindle]

I'm giving people information on how to move their loop along. Players will know their accounts better about if they can move up or not due to a different loop. They just need information to decide what to do and any potential alternatives (there are none).

[queen kindle]

If you have a specialty loop that you're ops locked on and cannot fuel it, I'm interested in hearing about it.

[main marlin]

going from 10% hazard at 60 to needing 100% for uncommon canisters, 200% for rare canisters which you cant fix apart from 💸 buy prime hazard, buy stasis globe until like ops 66.
It needs a dozen trips just for a single pull of uncommons.

[serene void]

Can you guys and gals at scopely please stop putting materials for primes in the event store and then taking it away a day or two later, please If you put them in just leave them in

[outer dome]

this looks wrong?
CotA Meta but FoP Daily Events?

[hollow lichen]

copy paste lazyness, it counts for doing the foundation of power heroic sms today. basically do the heroic sms each day and it will be complete

[dark horizon]

AH, I see the new META is spend mats even after spend mats event after spend mats event ...

[plucky pelican]

Really loving this recall bug during a mining event. Almost full cargo. Get sent home with nothing.

[vernal breach]

Not true. The mid-cycle vaults are ship specific. The arc starting vaults (those with officers) have historically contained all 3 types. This is new to only have 2.

[magic stump]

So you get two things instead of one! Don't you feel special?

[cold sandal]

The new intern doesn't know how to put '2400' in 🤷🏼‍♂️

[simple shard]

it would've require to count 1200+1200 together, but intern is not sure how scopely math works so he just marked 1200+1200

[terse lodge]

limiting rss for the building SLB to ones that are also level locked is prime scoply. there are a lot of buildings that could be added in for use. also having a "building material" spend a couple days before a general spend is prime scoply. I.E. sub space relays, emblems of assessment, Replicator rations, and others...

[harsh stag]

This ARC is the worst by far

[terse lodge]

I don't mind the events for the ascendant. but the limited options are annoying. list everything and just let it all count.

[worldly grove]

Anyone find an cheap way to max Foundations of Power?

[dark horizon]

I think the arc runners are competing for 1st place in whoever gets the most complaints about their arc.

[dawn sedge]

should there not be time to complete the quiz? I'm using the command others are/were using, and it says the quiz is inactive

[carmine anchor]

This Foundations of Power (Heroic) - SMS is grossly unfair toward sub Ops 40 players. I've got an Ops 31 in my alliance that can only score via spending G3 U/R mats, syndicate xp, and transogen forge (barely). He hasn't even been able to get the first reward tier

[queen kindle]

Ask them to post a SS of their event in the #🏆-event-chat channel.

[shell vortex]

Seems that the mirror spending isn't working for ascendent event. Don't know if the other things aren't working but that's a big one

[molten marlin]

omega dust doesn't count for it

never did

[odd dock]

GJ scopely ... reworking the invasion events, but failing to address the armada start issue ... i forsee another skip.

[woven kettle]

Announcement on flashpoint sounds promising. So early feedback is, I hope the real life flashpoint we see is as awesome as you’re hyping it up to be 😉 I’m hoping!

(Though regardless, including squall blueprints is amazing by itself, so props for that - maybe hopefully include parts as well…? Pretty please?)

[void nebula]

For all the negatives lately, the Chronicle of the Ascendant SLBs are actually fantastic and offering significantly improved epic officer sourcing even for F2P and light spenders. I appreciate that it is rewarding the strategically timed usage of various game mechanics. Great job!

[lethal moss]

Please tell me you are joking about how leaderboards are good for f2p and light spenders

[hollow lichen]

please just tell me why anyone would bother for this new mbenga anyway

[crystal goblet]

Collectors

[normal iris]

Except where is this Flashpoint event store? Seems odd to announce it and then it's.... Where? (Or when probably 🙄)

[molten marlin]

flashpoint is tomorrow

[vale patrol]

I know this is a deep cut but every time XinDeep pops up in the events list I hear The Stranglers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw9mEFn38to

[drifting drift]

as usual for lower G3 players... this is 2x 3day researches, how does scopely want me to do this? I could not finish this with all the researches i could do..

[normal iris]

So the event store is only active during the FP event? That feels.... Annoying.

[civic pasture]

#🛠-known-issues message

so we just sweeping the IMS finishing but not paying out under the rug then? first 2 weeks of flashpoint impossible IMS 3rd finally possible finish but then no rewards.

[vale laurel]

So you guys make us buy the Ferengi battlepass to unlock this but then you take out the premium opportunity chips from place 1st thru 3rd in the slbs, what the actual hell is going on here??????? How about some damn consistency <@&509690795536941056> @quasi ingot

Remember these from the last round of Ferengi events????? The things that you guys MADE us buy the $20 battlepass to be able to spend them????? This time you just decided to take them out of the game?? What gives??? @near saddle

[void nebula]

Not joking. Compared to a mat spend SLB there are many more options to score which rewards you for doing lot's of other stuff (Augment, DTI, Arena, P1ATA, etc.).

Could it be improved, absolutely (e.g. more than 25 spots on the meta).

I'm sure experience varies, but my personal sourcing for epic officers is much better than it was before them.

[civic pasture]

are they sourcing it another place? i know a lot of people were mad that they were in the SLB since you win it then couldnt spend it.

[limber stream]

Hey Scopely I don’t want to be a hero. You use to have a “normal” SMS next to the “Heroic “. I’ve done every piece of research I can at my Ops level and only got this far, This is ridiculous.

[echo wedge]

Upgrade artifacts, FT, CT, Mirror research. Much more points than spending normal materials

[limber stream]

Event currency feedback. In the previous arcs you had a “catch-all” currency. For example the Kahn wrath tokens or the Section 31….flashlights. You could buy BP’s, officers, latinum, mats, rss etc. This currency let you buy any and everything. It was on the free track of the Battlpass and the paid track.

You have now broken event currency into two different passes. You’ve removed the “catch-all” currency from the free track. Replaced it with Transogen and other arc specific items. Now if you want additional catch-all currency you have to buy both the regular Battlepass and the Ferengi Battlepass.

Yes, you can do the Ferengi free track and your experience is the same as before. But if you are spending…you’re paying 2X as you did in previous arcs for the same amount of currency. Because you need to buy two passes to get what you previously received for buying one pass.

[limber stream]

I didn’t think it needed to be said but yes…I am aware “Artifacts” and “Forbidden Tech” upgrades count in this event. I upgraded all those things for a daily event that ended right before this event started. So I don’t have any to upgrade. And even if I did..again, this is an Ops level problem. At my Ops level I have access to a trickle of FT and artifacts. I did the math on what I could have upgraded had I not done so already and it was still not enough to even hit the 2nd “Heroic” milestone. Zero thought seems to go into the fact that different players are at different levels in the game.

[echo wedge]

The other FT event had a 1 hour overlap with this SLB, and the artifact SLB started 1 hour after this CotA SLB.... Rule of thimb is; Dont empty yourself of stuff that is needed in future incomming known events. Check the ingame Noteboard for what is needed for future CotA events.

[vale laurel]

They are in the elite battlepass for 100 dollars, i think it is BS because i purchased the freaking $20 battlepass since i knew i was going to place in the slb's and went to use the tokens I won today and didn't have any. they can't ever admit they screwed crap up they just do more dumb stuff to make players mad. go figure

[daring dock]

New ark is garbage.. lols I’ve spent my time F2P grinding khan

[sacred goblet]

7500 per new ship BP 😄 😂 i stocked about 250k which is enough for about 32 BPs 😂

[wheat pasture]

Is this progression intentional?

[blissful timber]

looks like starship ascendancy - sms - points are either not scoring or being delayed - i've upgraded revanent, relativity and reliant - but points are not increasing

[humble glacier]

Hurak SLB ops bracket is sooooo wide. I’m ops 50 facing off with ops 70.

[elfin nest]

Why not add Ablative armour (ship parts for Defiant) on the scoring?

[stable walrus]

5 squall blueprints only in eventshop, that is a very bad joke

[fluid igloo]

<@&509690795536941056>
The bracket for the Hurak SLB is wayyyy to big for an slb that rewards hitting higher hostiles. Please divide it up again

[elfin nest]

Or even Cerritos, Titan, Mantis and other previous specialty ships. Not everyone has Reliant or GS31 unlocked

[rose ice]

Was it intentional to have G4 players in the same SLB with G6 Players?

[torn plinth]

It's seriously messed up that i, at ops 49, am in the same bracket as an ops 69....

[sacred goblet]

They want you to be frustrated, so there is a chance you gonna buy a pack to grow faster

[woven kettle]

~~So you take an SLB and throw g4, g5, and g6 together. When scoring is based off of level of hostile you kill. What’s easier about that? What’s greater value in less time about that? How is that more payout for our effort? Geez guys, I appreciate the attempt to improve flashpoint but how the heck does this pass any sort of sanity or player well being check???

I guess my effort goes to zilch because there’s no way I compete in there. So thanks for that I guess?? Is that what you’re going for, make us play less so you can blame us for still not liking it even though you “made it better” supposedly?

This is for the invading entity SLB if not clear, which also happens to be wrong because it scores off hostiles. But I seriously hope you change or fix this somehow because you took a couple steps forward and then shot yourselves in both feet…~~

Take it as feedback still that people actually believed you’re capable of this because this IS the sort of nonsense you’ve pulled… but glad this was a bug

[final oriole]

is this a SLB with g4-6 by design

[sacred goblet]

its "unintended" check the #⭐-official-announcements

[indigo oracle]

Well "affected players" get comp
Who are affected for you? Only those who did a kill eg a point in that slb? Or all we players you looked frustated into that bracket and didnt start those event yet

[visual furnace]

Excellent. Thanks for resetting the SLBs Stirling work. Just really solid job.

That compensation chests better be good.

See I can make jokes too...

just like Scopely did when they make TrashPoints

#GamesAreMeantToBeFun

[icy dove]

Scopely taking L after L with unforced errors. 5 SS Blueprints? Still 10 Million Targ Tags for one chest in early G6? What is going on here? What is this balanced around? Removing the great sourcing mechanics of prior arcs by handing out older officers instead?

[sacred goblet]

Any advice for crewing against flashpoint hostiles?

[icy dove]

Depending on your level, it may not matter much, but WoK Joachim is something you can grind out F2P that is a big help against them. In G5 I was able to kill them in a round using a Pike Moreau Harrison crew. If your shields can hold out, Janeway Doctor Annorax/Ent E data will work fine as well. May want to try Seska in that third chair if you need more shields.

[wheat pasture]

Obviously, if you have any of the new officers that are FP-specific, like SNW Scotty.

Iso defense (Joachim is king for this).

I have found SNW James Kirk, SNW Sam Kirk, and Scotty to work extremely well. Completely bypasses their shields, boosts iso damage, kills in round one. Note that this makes officers like PIC Hugh, who are normally excellent, non-functional.

If you don't have Scotty, you can try Pelia to further reduce iso damage, or Una to speed up grind. Either of them will maintain full synergy for SNW James.

[sacred goblet]

thx! and thx @wheat pasture - not yet unlocked any of new officers, but gonna try the one u adviced

[left marlin]

<@&509691205798592532> Plz send my thx to the Overlords for adjusting the Targ Tag turn ins so that a minimum number of Rare Vanguard Directives are guaranteed.

But now I no longer see any Epic Directives in any of the bundles in the Flashpoints Exchange, nor even the Flashpoints Event Store. Was this intentional or an oversight? Cuz as of now, I don’t see any source for Epic Directives besides spending

[molten marlin]

the main exchange box still has epics

same sourcing as before

[lavish pawn]

This could help, with the M Warhead for crit chance. Without Scotty either E-Data or Harrison...and should allow for punching up to 62s. @sacred goblet

[halcyon goblet]

I like how completing this sms does provide just right about enough resources for a 0 (zero) pull...

[junior pond]

<@&509690795536941056> Really?! Five blueprint limit on a 200 BP ship. Come on guys.

[open pecan]

this progression looks very very odd

[sacred goblet]

except i have no Joachim which could be crucial for that and no scotty but thx im gonna try to figure out something from that!

[lavish pawn]

Just to be clear it works on an Explorer. Joachim does a lot, but Pelia could stand in. If you don't have Scotty, the replacements mentioned should stand in

[obsidian radish]

second day in a row I have been 1 or 2 in the SLB, but at 35 I don't have enough resources to complete the SMS.

[naive viper]

Game just lost me rare hurak directives as the ship would not join the armada. Even after rebooting. Its not like directives are a common occurance.

[halcyon goblet]

but there is just a 142h cooldown (shh about that the store is only open during event)

[limpid vessel]

@near saddle Does anybody at Scopley believe that an Ops62 player with maxed G5epics will grind around 150 dropships for a single pull which does not even garantee one of the 10 needed Directives??? 58s are the maximum lower G6 players can defeat....that event is DEAD

[molten marlin]

Guaranteed rare directives now.

[idle parcel]

The FP event is still garbage. The spawn rate is horrible, as is the lag, because you make 60 ships disproportionately hard, so as you have ops 60-65 fighting for 56 and 58 spawn ships, while me, an ops 64, can only kill 2-3 60 ships. The lag alone makes it virtually impossible to complete the event. Another sorry effort on your part.

[left marlin]

Ok thx. I must’ve missed it

[ocean crypt]

the vindicator armada scoring is a joke, it should be tier related to the vindicator and not to the ops, impossible to get the ship high enough to do armadas in g6 at even a mid tier ship, once again non fore-sight by anyone that makes theses stupid scoring ranges

[hard sentinel]

The targ tag chests need to be severely reduced in price. Just bumped up to 61 so can't even touch the 60 hurak due to them being 5x stronger than 58s yet the chests are 10x the price? We didn't magically increase our loot drops bumping up into g6 nor magically have top tier g6 ships that aren't available for 3 more ops levels. Looks like there will be very little interaction once the sms is finished.

[sacred goblet]

4 kills with either SNW or PMH - lv 60.
Still better than my janewa,doc, annorax
But i still think something is wrong ....
Anyway thank you

[lavish pawn]

Using an explorer or what ship type? There are definitely some variables involved

[idle parcel]

Wow. There are even Ops 66 hitting the 58-60 ships in the garbage FP event because you make the 60 plus ships unnecessarily hard.

[open beacon]

Why no TOS Ent and D7 skins in the Hurak store this time? 😡

[placid veldt]

Aaaaand the trashpoints dumpster fire continues! Hostile balance is garbage: ops 61 with all 3 g5 epics, but still can't kill trashpoint 60s... it's 65+ almost everywhere else, so garbage! Targ tag chests are garbage: I'm about 40% of the way to maybe getting one this entire arduous arc! so garbage! This arc is an utter disaster that has led to the greatest exodus of players in the history of the game... but keep ignoring us! That appears to be working well! 💩

[bronze holly]

Just checking in to make sure it wasn't just me miserably chasing trashpoints

[silk hill]

Keep pushing ops with weak research and it will continue to be hard

[idle parcel]

Aaaand, they still don't guarantee getting directives to do the trashpoint invading entities. I got 4 rares done, which allowed me to have the special honour of getting a pull (had some leftover from last time), only to get the shaft and not get any epic directives. I'm not about to kill another, what, 200 ships, while fighting with lag and other higher ops players for lower ships, just to maybe get enough for another rare or two. Complete garbage.

[regal oxide]

Just use your normal ships, you don’t need to use the Vindicator to score. Don’t think mine has ever been out hanger yet I complete event every week with a couple high g6 armadas. 👍

[silk hill]

Look who's making assumptions now. It's obviously not 'great'. I offered a solution, you resorted to insults. Good luck!

[molten marlin]

Keep it civil or don't say anything at all

[odd dock]

increased rewards from the invasion ... but limited.

ok let me increase my spending in stfc just for you, but ill limit it to $1 a month. bet you love that

[neat condor]

what do you mean? its a 100% chance for at least 100 rare directives

[idle parcel]

Solution? You offered an assumption about my game play, when it's quite painfully obvious that the reds are disproportionately hard. You have to be blind to not see that. Ops 66 shouldn't be in the 56-58 area. It's obvious it's not my "research."

[silk hill]

A lot of the early g6 player base is fairly undeveloped

[idle parcel]

That's no where near enough to complete that part of the event, and I got 0 epic directives in the epic pull to continue the event, so I'm done doing this trashpoint event.

[neat condor]

epic directives aren't in the epic pull and never have been

[idle parcel]

So you know every player in every server? Get real, man. You're just on here to stir the pot to rile people up. You said something similar to me last time. I'm not wasting my time arguing with a stranger on here, when it's obvious everyone but you hate the trashpoint event. And again, you made an erroneous assumption about me. I'm not wasting another second arguing with a know it all who's trying to gaslight me by saying it's my fault I can't hit trashpoint reds at my same ops level. Cheers.

[lyric quiver]

Ferengi domination event should count officer xp like battepass domination does

[odd dock]

did the odds change?

[neat condor]

yes, 100% chance to get rare directives, 85% its 100 and 15% its 200

[silk hill]

Sounds like youve got a lot of grinding to do anyways, off ya go

[idle parcel]

They should be. Either way, I'm not going to be hitting another 200 plus reds for hours, fighting lag and other players, just to get enough for at least 1 rare directive.

[ripe forge]

In my store, it still says "Chance" rather than "Guaranteed"

[tribal dust]

This will be another round of me not purchasing the Ferengi Battle Pass. Not because of the event or currency, but because of the restrictions in the store 5 of everything instead of being able to focus on 1-2 items has reduced the value.

[neat condor]

click the i button in the top right

[ocean crypt]

and scopely maths make those % chance at least 10 times less than they are, also have had pulls with zero dirs, as for dust rarely see any

[jaunty ingot]

Scoring on Starship Acscendancy is odd. Scores if you tier the cube, but Shaped Memory Alloy (cube upgrade parts) dont score on the actual event?

[woven kettle]

Thanks for the quick acknowledge and fixing of the dropship SLB that combined a ton of ops. And thanks for guaranteeing rare directives now in the hostile loot exchange

[ashen notch]

While the changes made to this run of invasion events seem positive, the Flashpoint invasion is still underwhelming at best. Far too much grind in order to obtain enough loot to do invasion chest pulls which aren't worth their obscene costs anyway. In addition, the event store costs and limitations on how many pulls may be done per invasion make obtaining loot not worth the time for many to care.

In short, still missing the mark on decreased grind time and reasonable loot store costs.

[odd dock]

limited rewards ... with the high cost or low currency rewards ... they cant make up their minds? literally pointless to limit the rewards given the currency cost prohibits more than maybe twice the current limit if everything is completed.

about as silly as selling currency and limiting the rewards that could be purchased with that currency .. yea i remember that happening too (not to me but i saw the complaints)

[limber stream]

Perhaps you missed the part where I said it would have made no difference. I did the math and I would not have hit the milestone even if I had not done the daily event. In fact I would not have hit the milestone even if I had skipped the last 3 daily events. What part of this is confusing to you? At my OPs level we don’t get enough from the daily claims to hit these heroic levels even if we save up. That’s why Scopely use to have a “regular”and “heroic”. Which seems to have gone bye bye. I’m sure the flow of FT and artifacts gets better as you Ops up or spend. You seem to have your answers already even before you read and understand the problem. But here’s the thing…This isn’t for you…its for Scopely. I didn’t notice before I posted this but I’m like the 6th person to point this out. If this doesn’t impact you then scroll right on by. 👋

[mystic flint]

Yeah, not that great. Got entry level g4 players not even able to hit hostiles. 8 mil vs 54 mil ships for that event seriously?

[limber stream]

Its your own fault according to one player here. Do better! * sarcasm* i’m in the same boat.

[grave rose]

Would love to compete on the ship building event but well impossible with the 15min to 1d of sigma speed ups I get daily 🤣

[visual furnace]

Nope. Comp chest was trash

[open beacon]

So i have to mine a whole.load again tmro?, 🤮

[ocean crypt]

no mention of the missing sarris's invasion, how long has it been now since last event, in beginning was also advertised as a monthly event

[gloomy rain]

It seems having a full titan/cerritos buff is necessary to even get close to beating these invading entities. It doesn’t seem right that ops 48 should need all that to beat a single 45 one for the event.

[gray belfry]

it is not necessary and is very annoying to have the same news constantly pop up over the top of the alliance help

[sacred goblet]

no worries, i easly kills 55 without almost a scratch but the 60 is eating me alive without a scratch to it

[gray belfry]

rhe invadiing entities are way too hard i cant event cause a dent made for whales

[copper shadow]

the problem is they run too much content, arcs, and battle passes to make good on anything they ever promise/say. There's too much that can be done daily in this game not that everyone does everything everyday since they're ain't enough hours in the day to do that sleep and work lol. I do agree with the invasions though and was one of the first 5 people to ask hammy way back when it started how often it would be and was told once a month which we all know didn't happen and once it was twice a month.

[ocean crypt]

ops 65 and stuck at 62s, their idea of a challenge and ours differ like different planets in a solar system, it also seems, that most of these "new" events are only good for "new" artifacts and nothing else, and with a 5min timeout between posts, it's imposssible to really conversion in these posts

[novel totem]

Seeing still the same high numbers for the hurak directive rolls just proves how deaf scopely is. Reducing the grind by lowering the sms stuff serves no purpose if you still need to grind to do the refines

[outer verge]

its a dmg contest... 1st. they have first strike and 2nd they do a lot of dmg that you need kill them on round on if you dont your ship is destroyed on round 2 without any dmg for you

[dark horizon]

Targ Tag Exchange yesterday : 0 directives, Targ Tag Exchange today: 0 directives.... this is not helping, not sure if I consider this better or worse than the Sarris Invasion directive sourcing, at least there you get half of directives

[queen kindle]

I don't think that should happen anymore. Click the i button to see the drop chances for that exchange.

[dark horizon]

I can't check because there is no "VIEW" active once you claimed for the day. And if somehow they are being awarded they were not displayed ... I specifically looked for them there as I know the chances to get are slim.

[keen torrent]

a 5 day cooldown on officers in the flashpoint store? Why a cooldown at all? I earned the credits, i should be able to spend them where i want.

[proven sparrow]

<@&509690795536941056> waiting for upgrading my FC and now this event only scores with 3 fleet commanders. what happened to the rest?

[low remnant]

<@&509690795536941056> Did the event the screwed up today?

[proven sparrow]

its Hard to follow their own schedule
cut out half your fleet commanders and add a res spend to it instead

[neon jay]

Yeah I posted that in the bugs section just now

[novel mango]

The amount of node for T are way to low. They are being camped by people I have no chance at blowing up even if they are zero or opc.

[outer dome]

doesnt say what armadas count and not.. please work on that

[glass pewter]

That's every single run. It's always just regular directives but Scopely is too lazy to put that in the description

[spring imp]

Hello- Flashpoint transogen mining sms isnt scoring, is there somewhere on this discord I can report?

[versed hedge]

Yeah just ran a bunch of borg solos for dimensional breach event and didn’t realize they didn’t count

[wheat pasture]

For some reason, that's by design. Dimensional Breach only ever gives credit for Dominion solos or FKR groups/solos.

[upbeat harbor]

<@&509690795536941056>
can we do something about bracketing?
1-10th ops 69 & 70s
11th ops 62
21st ops 63
below have a few sub 65s sprinkled in. this does not make for a fun competitive time. this does not encourage anyone to grind there's a gap of 4,702 kills of lvl 64 dropships between 11th and 1st place. Here's an idea ops 61-65 and 66-70. the excuse of not enough players in the ops ranges is no longer a valid excuse with the introduction of xslbs and rslbs not to mention the ability to change the number of players you pay rewards out to.

[dark horizon]

Pausing Flashpoint Events: The original Flashpoint events are on hold as we rework them for better balance, clarity, and enjoyment. We will keep the Flashpoint events as they are for the month of August, and officially pause them after the arc concludes.

^^ so whoever unlocked the SNW officers that have abilities against Flashpoint hostiles are skrewd ? Because sounds like they have been good for 2 months then they go down the drain ?? Is there a plan to change their abilities to apply to all hostiles if the Flashpoint is paused after August ?

[frosty jacinth]

The events are impossible for me to even complete because of the high amount of points needed as I can not even reach the first milestone of any event because matchmaking sucks completely. Ive tried everything but the events are useless to me now including the ticketed events

[wheat pasture]

This has been an issue since they were released. Even without the pause, Flashpoint was intended as a six-month event. Officer abilities should never be designed explicitly for a non-recurring event.

[urban valley]

4 ticket events per day but only one ticket per day?
So much for improvements

[sacred goblet]

it's all about "monay"

[late siren]

Ever since Flashpoint events started I’ve yet to get any Epics Hurak Honorguard directives from the Event Store. You can’t run an event & loop that is so dependant on RNG. This is the original FT on steroids!

[molten marlin]

every pull guarantees at least one rare start

[late siren]

I’m sorry, it was a typo. I meant Epic. I get loads of rare but have yet to receive any Epics

[gaunt wraith]

dating back to the last time this was run, I am oh for four on epics.

[wheat pasture]

Fortunately, it's still only 9 events to finish the ticket meta and get your rare tickets, so the extra event is actually a good thing.

[unborn linden]

May I remind scopely, that when it is the 15th, in Australia it is already the 16th
So anyone in Australia who do the uncommon armadas, miss the event

[outer dome]

<@&509690795536941056> how are we getting these this time?
last time they where part of the CotA SLBs 1st-3rd place ... they are missing this time...

[molten marlin]

overflow and the elite 99.99 pack seems to be it

[stoic linden]

Even if I got overflow items, still can't claim em ❌

[neon jay]

You need to buy the pack mate

[stoic linden]

Aut. You and I both know we won't be buying anything

[ashen notch]

Last time it unlocked for me once I claimed the overflow rewards. I'm sure it'll be the same this time.

[summer torrent]

your supposed to save up for 3 weeks then run a full 9 in 1 week

[tacit tangle]

I would sure love to test my luck.... if you gave us the bloody currency to pull it. 🤣

[gloomy rain]

That would be $99.99, sir ,

[frozen sedge]

Lvl 50+ have problems going through the lowest hurak vanguards. How long will the charade the events are 45+ ?

[heady glacier]

Battle pass overflow gives some I think

[cloud canyon]

It’s absolutely horrid that I did a Triple-pull of the Targ Tag loot and didn’t get a single Epic armada directive.
That is terrible and must be changed in the redesign of the event.
Directives should not be subject to RNG !!!

[gaunt wraith]

Interesting that the event ends before it starts lol

[opaque jacinth]

'Chain of command' is very difficult to complete IF players are remember about upcoming Tournament and not spending r/e directives

[boreal coyote]

Wasn’t it yesterday we got promises things will get better? What is the next event in this series? I have zero chance completing today’s. My own fault for chasing heroics I guess. Even if I went from 54 to 56, no chance to complete due to in game efficiency. This is like spending 169K epic g5 what in the world can I spend this amount on.

[wise pilot]

Similar issue with mat sms at 63, I’d need to spend about 150k rare g6 to complete it - about £1500 worth of packs in the store, assuming I even have enough speedups etc to actually spend that much

[outer wigeon]

I have not completed anything either and I am a lvl 70 completionist. Rewards are meh for the amount you have to put in. Sucks overall.

[hollow wigeon]

Same for a fresh 70 here ... 174M needed and neither enough G6 mats for it nor enough Trit for old ships...
And I finished all the other Events and am 3rd place in the Meta-SLB ... but this spending event will ruin all the other progress...

[boreal coyote]

Ya, who calculates these milestones- they are bananas. They test new hostiles with max everything and spend milestones with zero efficiency 😂… and a major side note/ despite the spend. Actually trying to do this would mean playing all day, dropping tons of exos and speed ups ( heroic is not an excuse, warning maybe, excuse- I’m over it )

[sacred goblet]

are you scopely freaking serious?
Yesterday i watch a YT Video "we sorry we listen, we apologize" and today i see a no chance to finish SMS for Final Synthesis 😮 WOW gz Scopely, you really did a good job

[boreal coyote]

Another month I’m not ops’ing up, cause I won’t get squat for it <@&509690795536941056> sick of empty promises and bs “we hear you” “please keep spending “ tactics

[simple widget]

<@&509690795536941056> - if you guys are pausing the flashpoint events for a while, remove the cool down on the flashpoint store! Let us spend the currency we've worked to earn before we won't be able up spend it for a while!

[heady glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/lord-have-mercy-gif-23339252

[idle parcel]

Yeah, what a bunch of BS that video was. Add to that, some of the worst lag I've seen in weeks. It took me over 2 minutes to open 1 chest in the event store. But, they do hear us. 🙄😂

[sacred goblet]

Well to be honest, they promised to be better ... at september 😂

[analog flax]

yeah so much for doing better. This is awful. It's a heroic meta, 100% completion but I get it, don't rely on being able to complete without spending but wow, how much?

[hearty stag]

Last time one of them promised to do better they left and that promise was U turned pretty swiftly. The video means nothing it’s just to placate an angry player base for a while

[round jay]

LOL, I see things are getting better?? we need 144k G6 RARE mats to complete this? do you guys even see your own videos about things getting better? we should have to PAY to play all content of this game.

[boreal coyote]

Does the last day on the meta not have an event? So we need this insane sms to finish?

[odd yew]

Pay to participate

[molten marlin]

The heroic is the event, just like last month

[sacred goblet]

I upgraded my rotty (2 tiers), a mini 4 parts ... and that were not enough to get me to 2nd milestone 😂

[sinful heart]

That would be my guess yes. The extra days are for the SLB’s I would say.

And did we really the “GM” (who might just be Scotty from the mail room for all we really know 🤔).

[boreal coyote]

Based on the card design, the event times, and the incomplete info ign. How are we supposed to know that. Misleading, bad design

[ashen notch]

I was just coming here to say the same thing. This mat spend is ridiculously awful for how inflated the milestones are. I have no way to complete the meta with the spend being so bad.

[round jay]

Listen, people in life need attainable goals otherwise they give up (and mean give up playing this game) SMS should never be an heroic event (lower the rewards a bit) SLB, XSLB, RSLB's yeah let the bigger wallet go for it an blow their kids college funds. But, we need goals to accomplish not set people up for failure of completing 4 other days of an event to get smacked in the face with a ridiculous goal. Wake up, people aren't happy as it is and put out a video about things will change? just to do this? 144,000 G6 epic mats? that is what 10 packs over $1000 for a weekly event? don't be a shill

[boreal coyote]

So is it better or worse to have players that don’t engage. This is my ign on the event. How am I to know the last milestone was the only one I have no hope of completing? Sure, maybe some people spend, but how many more see it as frustrating and tone deaf. Why can’t they run a simultaneous excessive milestone event for the spenders. This is a pretty normal practice. Krill need to feel advancement and accomplishment as well.

[molten marlin]

this is your ign on the event

[spiral veldt]

The problem is that when it was G6 materials only they doubled the point value to spend them so the inflated numbers made sense. However, now they reduced the G6 points back down to 50% of the value and left the inflated goals. You can tell little to no playtesting happens with people knowledgable on the game.

[boreal coyote]

Thank you, I missed that and thought maybe I could skip an event due to the timers. Still doesn’t give me the ability to know if I can complete it or not. Now I’m just mad at myself that I spent time and resources to complete the rest ( not sure why I allow myself to be surprised by the game 5+ years later ). That’s good game design there, Frustration based. Hope it leads to more sales cause that’s all they care about. They could care less for my 20-50$ a month I know….

[idle parcel]

I haven't completed one of those. Their "we care about you" video was as authentic as an abusive spouse saying they love the other person.

[idle parcel]

Come on, where are your priorities? The Saudi CEO of Scopely needs a new yacht made of gold.

But, yeah, the goals for all those were tough for me. I got 3 out of 4 for one of them, but the rest were 1s and 2s. And then there's FlushPoint again. 84 reds in and I'm 3/4 of the way done. Them saying they care is a joke and an insult.

[heavy ivy]

So they post a video saying they care and they messed up but they are trying to fix it, and then they make it next to impossible to complete the last heroic cause they nerfed the points you get but kept the milestone super high, meaning 98% of people wont be able to complete the other heroic cause we got hosed once again. For reference 7 levels on a g5 epic resulted in less than 25% of the goal needed to finish the heroic(as a g5 player)

[vocal willow]

<@&509690795536941056> Please read above, this is not how you fix things!!

[round jay]

Make up some crazy storyline that cleared all the Flashpoint systems of hazards...

[sacred goblet]

Cause they say, they gonna do better at ... SEPTEMBER 😛 we still got august 😂

[heavy ivy]

This run of the event was suppose to be them trying to fix what went wrong with what they did last month

[spiral veldt]

To put the G6 mat spend requirement into perspective: Taking a Velox from nothing to Tier 9 is only 116M points for me.

[heavy ivy]

From T2 no parts to T11, 3 parts cant even hit the halfway mark.

[sinful heart]

<@&509690795536941056> THIS right here. Your player base is speaking! MESSAGE!

[vestal cloak]

Not even going to continue to try with final synthesis which is very disappointing as I was able to complete all others and do well in the slb. Been going full-speed for 2 hours, 1/2 way to milestone 1. Can't keep up this pace.

At least lower the SMS

[wheat pasture]

Level 53 ops. This is insulting.

[vestal cloak]

Actions speak louder than words.

[humble sleet]

<@&509690795536941056>

Flash Points Launch and failure to corse correct…
Until way too late aside it included good content additions and interaction tweaks that were praise worthy.
(BTW the acknowledgement video of current issues was good!)

The Chronicles of Ascension is a good example in my mind.

Though I feel like the process and intent behind it was “poorly communicated” to the community, the nearly week long Daily SMS and SLB’s linked to a larger Recruit SLB that is weighed in favor of spenders, but not overwhelmingly so, was a good addition.

Each Days related SMS/SLB felt balanced to allow both Spenders and Hoarders to compete, rewarding event store currency, with the week long SMS giving Officer Shards at the Daily milestones.

It feels engaging, positively encouraged growth and allows players to tactically choose how to interact and compete once you understand how it works, which in my mind is a better way to give the players the opportunity make their resources matter, like we’ve been begging for.

That said it feels like it ends up falling flat and reversing the players impression of it with the last “Heroic” Daily SMS…

Yes we understand “Heroic” is supposed to be difficult….
And although not everyone likes it, many of us understand how Heroic events work, but that doesn’t mean milestones for all OP’s brackets that feel ridiculous is the correct choice.

The Unbalanced/Tone deaf SMS appears to sour many players view of the linked event chain, leaving them with a bitter taste in the mouth and it should have been a positive experience.
(Especially if the whole event was properly explained / communicated to the community)

In large part I think the negative reaction is happening because it feels all too common and instead of seeing it as a mistake it feels malicious.

Basically you can only apologize so many times before people start to think it’s either intentional or a lack of consideration.

[safe cloud]

268k uncommon G6 on Ops 67 for all milestones?! Are you completely out of your mind? This game became just all about paying, paying, paying, ... You said, you heard the community, no, obviously you don't! And let's talk about the Flashpoint events: even after your adjustments it's just ridiculous, an endless shooting of hostiles, in hazard space, against questionable hostiles... and be honest: do you really think shooting hundreds of hostiles is fun?! No, it is not! I know better to use my free time! And if your answer is "yes", then you never played the game yourself!

[copper oak]

Hey Scopely, <@&509690795536941056>
u want to kidding me?
Im a low G4 Player - How am I supposed to get that many points?
Not only is it impossible, it's outrageous, especially since you can't complete the meta without this SMS!

just for your information: To achieve this number of points, I would have to rush from OPS 43 to OPS 55. 🤣

What a load of ****

[sacred goblet]

Upgraded 2 ships, did a research (catching up) and i could hit only milestone 2 for ops 64 😂

[idle parcel]

Then, there's the Flushpoint, that they ran again, and I needed 146 red kills to complete the event, and it only got me half of what I need to do a pull to get at least enough for 1 rare directive for the invading entity. So, 300 kills, hours on end for 1 pull. "We have listened to you." Nope. Not falling for that. If you had listened, you'd fix it now. No one wants to spend hours hitting reds, on top of having to restart several times an hour due to horrendous lag.

[warm kestrel]

it was appropriate for you recognize how poorly your performance has been of late. please know, it won't have any value until you begin making the improvements

[outer dome]

just dont compete for the sms - tbh... score in the SLBs and get a decent overall placement in the meta SLB - imho

[sinful heart]

Which takes money. If you’re only ops 34, just you wait…😋😉

[outer dome]

Not really?

I'm ranked 1st on meta slb currently... Didn't spend any money for these events.

And I didn't even try to win them. Just strategic application of materials

[terse vessel]

Thanks for setting realistic sms goals for the heroic event for an officer that is primarily for the content that would be a qol improvement for an event you may or may not be suspending and reevaluating. Glad to see the we see we made some mistakes and are addressing it video rings true. Needing around 140k g6 rare or double that in uncommon to finish event is completely reasonable. Good to see heroics have been upgraded to somewhere between 5-12 of your 99.99 packs using the x2 value packs as an example. Depending on what you have available to do. Definetly resonating well with those keeping track. Keep it up. 🫩

[cosmic plover]

60 million uncommon transogen to get the mining dailies. Are they insane?! Why uncommon when the ship's ability is epic? Scopely you're a joke.

[molten marlin]

It's actually a visual bug that should've been cleared for you, it's normal mining goal, just looks inflated

[cosmic plover]

I see, just unlocked it. Ty

[drifting drift]

somebody help, the points doubled now going from 34 to 35, doing like 50+ buildings and researches could barely make to the first step but this has gotten out of hands

yea how do I do this, someone maybe better at math then my translator pls educate me

[cosmic plover]

Not a visual bug

[molten marlin]

It is. Once you mine the regular amount, it finishes.

[cosmic plover]

What regular amount? The 24k for the milestone? I mined it already, what you see in that SS is after mining the 24k transogen.

[molten marlin]

The original milestone doesn't score on transogen

[cosmic plover]

So how much do I have to mine in order to score?

[vestal cloak]

It just has 3 extra zeroes

[cosmic plover]

True, it'll take a week to mine your daily requirement

[sinful heart]

Again, you’re ops says 34…take it from a ops 62…just you wait for it 😉 (folk’s gonna go from 49 to 50 and see what the Rock’s cooking ;-))

[peak bloom]

Why would you need to rush from Ops 43 to Ops 55? It just says spend any G3+ materials, not that you have to spend materials on upgrading buildings... Why not just spend them on Research and ships? 🤔

[stoic linden]

You missed the point on just how high the scoring is, in context, it would take that many ops levels to complete it for that account. Thats one example of spending thats rather insane

[peak bloom]

I didn't miss that point, I just specifically called out a different point that was made under a false premise. There is no need to Ops up at all to complete that Heroic SMS, you just need to build and upgrade multiple ships and do a bunch of research within 2 days.

The Heroic events are always impossible to complete without spending money, which is why they're labeled Heroic. It's not a good thing that they're commonplace in this business model, I suppose, but it's nothing new and F2P players should know by now to just forget about completing more than a couple milestones for them.

I say this as a F2P player who knows to never try completing all milestones in Heroic SMSs, btw. They're not designed for us.

[stoic linden]

Don't disagree but they also like to put these things in front of FTP players so they have to expect complaints about them, it's par for the course. It's not impossible for FTP to do some of them, but they require literal heroic efforts to get close like that ops upgrade illustrated earlier. Even ships in G4+ are difficult due to the part requirements that exist.

I'm also FTP and can feel the pain

[peak bloom]

Of course they put them in front of F2P players, it's designed to lure us into spending for extra rewards. If they hid them from us, it would just be bad business.

There's so much valid stuff to complain about in this game, but Heroic events being what they've always been (an incentive to spend) ain't really one of them, imo. That being said, invalid complaints are also par for the course, so I can't say I'm shocked to see them, I just think we should be complaining about more important and egregious things in the game.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it is also impossible for a F2P account to Ops up from 43 to 55 in 2 days too, so it isn't a realistic scenario. Heroic events are for spenders, full stop. They would be called Spender events, but Scopely wants to put a positive spin on it, so they call it Heroic, lol.

IDK, maybe Scopely has just successfully lowered my standards, but it's really not a big deal to never expect to complete Heroic events as a F2P, and just settle for the far superior rewards in the non-Heroic SLBs. If you Ops up slowly enough, it's easier to consistently place at or near the top of those.

[sinful heart]

No, but that doesn’t mean Scoply (or ANY business) should ever get a pass or good will from customers.

They should be held to the fire.
Folks saying Scoply doing no wrong are like folks saying the dealer doesn’t put the pipe in folks hands.

They know what they are doing. And folks are finally starting to smell their bs. Well, at least some folks are.

[peak bloom]

If you are directing this at me, it seems like you only read the first paragraph of my comment.

I never said or implied that Scopely should get a pass or goodwill for anything. Never said they shouldn't be held to the fire. Never said they can do no wrong. All your arguments are strawman arguments. In my 2nd paragraph, I specifically said, "There's so much valid stuff to complain about in this game" and that "I just think we should be complaining about more important and egregious things in the game."

Of course they know what they're doing, I'm just saying they're doing WAY worse stuff in this game than continuing to make Heroic events for spenders to do if they want.

Also, IDK where you've been the past few months, but folks aren't just starting to smell it, they've been rioting all over this Discord server nonstop, lol.

[sinful heart]

And I flatly disagree with that premise.

They have been getting these gripes complaints and concerns for years now. At this point there is NOTHING folks complaining about that is new.

And the gripe is about making the “heroic” even worse than it already was.

And if you check MY history, I have been carrying a torch and pitch fork since Ecco spouted his gas lighting years ago. ;-). But thanks for playing 🙂

[peak bloom]

What premise, exactly? That it's totally normal for F2P games to have incentives in the game to encourage players to spend money to support the developer so they can continue working on the game? I choose not to spend on this game because this developer has built a buggy mess of a product and has a bad track record of poor communication, overpriced packs, churning out content before fixing existing content, and excluding lower level players from new content (most of which they've just recently finally acknowledged and promised to fix going forward), but that doesn't change the fact that a dev needs income to make it worth continuing to work on the game.

Nah, there's plenty of new stuff ppl are complaining about the past couple months. This Flashpoint stuff is completely new and was bungled by Scopely every step of the way.

[slender ice]

Honestly how hard do you want to make this, I have gone from Ops 64 to Shipyard 66 and gotten the G6 Kling Rare to Tier 6........and still I am short on the final milestone.....

[sinful heart]

Nah, that vid they posted was just more gas lighting from Scotty in the mail room. Ain’t nothing changing.

(And no, after Ecco, I highly doubt Scoply prove me wrong. They are just hoping it’s been long enough for people to forget🙄)

[copper shadow]

for those of us that's been around long enough and active enough in this game as you or I arch ya there's no forgetting maybe forgetting the specific dates things went down but not the broken promises or failed events or bad math that completely destroys what they claim things do or refinery chances or many many many other things thats happened in past 7 years rofl

[ruby ivy]

The Final Synthesis - SMS goals are insane, you really are trying your best to push players away from the game!

[heady glacier]

Proves how out of touch they are. They admitted to reducing events this month due to feedback. Ok, I get it. But that reduces our rewards. But they didn’t adjust milestones to compensate

[wild mason]

They are literally IMPOSSIBLE. I'm an ops 46, G4 player and I've done all the rest of the heroic events in this Chronicle. They were tough but even as a free to play I was able to complete the SMS and place well in the SLBs. This final event asks me to spend 13.06 MILLION uncommon materials in order to complete the SMS. I have less than 3 million uncommon materials. So do I just give up on all the time and resources I put in on the other events? What a great way to completely demoralize the player base DESPITE the GM releasing a video saying y'all heard the feedback and are changing to make the game more balanced. The constant lying is too much at this point. Just tell us you don't care and we should find a new space to spend time and money.

[subtle nest]

The Final Synthesis is nearly impossible i just went up 3 ops levels and only hit the 2nd milestone, and Im first on slb part of it. Goals that far out of reach really show that devs are FAR OUT OF TOUCH with the game.

[heady glacier]

Let’s also consider the rewards in Meta.
Everyone like officers I know. But is he really worth it? September nobody will use him at all hardly. And the future is bleak imo
I’m doing the minimum to unlock. But I should have completely skipped this one and went for door #2 next month.

[worldly cedar]

If it isn’t main stream Star Trek don’t put it in. What you see as new and exciting isn’t. Fix the good stuff dump the rest including all the useless old gummies I have in my inventory. In the video you said how unbalance and hard for G4/5 it was, well hate to break it to you G6 is unplayable too for the majority of players.

[heavy ivy]

The point of the milestones of this Heroic SMS is that it's unrealistic even for people that pay and play the game, no one wants to drop the amount of money required to complete this event. To make matters worse they have not only killed the chance of people being able to complete the Heroic SMS to get officer shards but they also made it so that 98% of the playerbase will not complete the other 5 day heroic either. So whats the point, if they are gonna do carp like this let people know scoring for ALL events at the start so things are not wasted on something they in the end made impossible to complete without dropping serious cash.

[heady glacier]

To be fair, anyone who knew last months meta should have known what they were in for. I remember thinking about it, but decided to get my heroics in the first 4 and not sweat the last spend one. That’s on me

[gaunt wraith]

Good morning! Reminder that the events are trash. Nobody likes them and everything you did this month was wrong in terms of creating interesting enjoyable gameplay.

[upbeat crater]

^ fair summary.

Whatever you’re doing right now at Scopely, whatever new content you’re working on, it’s a waste of time because we don’t it.

We want bug fixes, rebalanced events and things to reduce grind.

Oh and adding a grind to reduce other grinds is…… drum roll please……..

another grind!!!!!

[heady glacier]

I can’t foresee another grind for awhile. We have trans systems. Have a building. Have a ship. It’s is what it is till December 🤷🏻‍♂️
all we should do next month is open up another faction area. Same ole 💩

[spare creek]

Requiring a million 5* unc mats is ridiculous for 1 officer. As a lvl 60 I shouldn’t have a goal of 101m
If I had known the last milestone would have been so high I wouldn’t have worked so hard on the 1st 4
Will think twice before next try

[idle parcel]

I haven't completed one of those events. 😂 I got to the 3rd one for the armada one, but it literally required dumping every last rare and epic I had into it. I'm ops 64, and the requirements are far too much for this f2p player. I'm learning to accept that I won't complete every event, as I'm not paying just because Scopely thinks I'm in the premium ops now. I get done what I get done.

[idle parcel]

Freebooters was the best thing they did, grind wise. But, of course, they added several more grinds after that. And if you're ops 61 and up, hitting 61 fkr reds don't count for Freebooters. They need to take all the grinds we have and place them into Freebooters as part of dailies, and add 61 plus Freebooters, so we just have 1 grind that gets us rewards for all the other grinds we have to do. It's a serious chore trying to keep up with everything. It's usually not until I'm opening chests that I see I'm low on something. It's way too much. They need to add SS Revenant area to Freebooters, as well as MU, EE Augment, Trans, Gorn, and both Xindis to Freebooters, as well as any other grind I missed.

[steep prism]

<@&509690795536941056> the cap on the new ship bps in the event store should be removed or at very least increased

[slender ice]

managed the others with a stockpile of FC/artifacts/etc... but a couple were tough going, just didnt expect such a difficult SMS even with my stockpile for Ops and ship push to 66

[viral kayak]

Thank Q!

[idle parcel]

Congrats on 66. One of our guys has been 66 for a while. He pushed it and is camping there now. Yeah, I did what I could with these events. As others have said, heroic usually means spending $ to complete it.

[ivory cape]

Sooo let's get this straight - tomorrow the battlepass will include directives for an event that ends before we have the opportunity to gain said directives, and which we will now not be able to use for ?? An unspecified and likely extended period of time, if ever.

Y'all gonna replace those with something we can actually use, or what?
<@&509690795536941056>

[heady glacier]

There is one more run of flashpoint this month
28-31st

[shadow trellis]

Plus flashpoint only paused sure it’s coming back at a later date

[keen egret]

Sorry to bum you out, but that just means the Hurak invasion ends tomorrow, not TrashPoint. It also, likely, means this round of invasions ends tomorrow. They'll have another one before the end of the month. If the game hasn't folded anyway.

[viral kayak]

KOS!! 😁🤷🤣🤣😈

[viral kayak]

Good thing I'm not in a leadership role.. 😜😄 are you @keen egret from S61? 😁

[keen egret]

No, I'm on 57

[analog wharf]

Anyone else not scoring on the Recruit Ticket event for officers that you have the new efficiencies for? Example, I have Hemmer maxed, from before the efficiency, and now that I have the efficiency anytime I pull Hemmer it shouws shards instead of patterns. I've been told this is a visual bug, but now it seems that means you also don't get credit on the Recruit event.

[molten marlin]

Flashpoint is on pause after this run

[peak bloom]

Actually, as a G3 F2P player, I LOVE Chronicle of the Ascendant SLBs and Meta SLB. They allow me to finally earn full unlocks (sometimes even Rank 2!) of brand new Epic officers, which I had a very hard time doing before CotA was a thing.

I just mostly ignore the SMS (Heroic), as I do with all Heroic events.

[austere bay]

<@&509690795536941056> is there any plan to bring back events like FKR Rep, Iso DMG, Apex Barrier etc. ? Also Syndicate Events (especially for lv 55+)

[round needle]

Arena issues? We're seeing crisscrossed matches. See g4 and g6 players on the same team

[gaunt wraith]

Congrats! That's actually good to hear.

[last lance]

IMO the officers this month stink anyways, so you're not missing much. More BD hull and shields and some trasogen mining boost.....meh. Please wake me up when a good officer set hits. 🤣

[dark horizon]

who's brilliant mind made these available the day AFTER the event ends. I'm sure many would like to know what was the thought process there ...

[crystal salmon]

Did they not say that they will pause it end of August? There is one more run scheduled for 28 to 31, will that not take place?

[molten marlin]

That is part of this run

[molten ridge]

So looks like I’m being robbed of final milestones again.

[hasty wedge]

Jeap, last one was impossible to complete for 99.9% of the playerbase combined

[heavy ivy]

What's more aggravating being robbed of working hard to complete the heroic and not being able to due to extreme milestones? Or the fact that there has still been zero comment officially on it? Can we at least get some input on if this was intentional and a taste of things to come

[molten ridge]

OHHHHHHHHHH - right.

[wise rapids]

I find it very telling when not 1 g6 player on my server was willing to spend to complete the meta this time when usual the competition makes completing it the minimum to score in any slb

[sweet frost]

i agree, complete silence on this is frustrating.

[spiral veldt]

Overall I enjoyed both the pre-incursion style events and the Chronicle of the Ascendant both this month and last.

Pros:

• predictable SLBs run monthly with known goals so it is approachable for casual players, hoarders, and spenders alike.
• CoA has SMSs attached to each day to encourage participation
• Decent rewards for the amount of effort/materials required for all but one event.

Con:

• Final Synthesis SMS had unrealistic spend requirements due to changes in how current generation materials were scored for this month vs last. To finish the heroic SMS this month it would of required going from Operations 64 to Shipyard 66 as well as taking a G6 rare ship from Tier 0 to Tier 9. I had the materials to complete the heroic SMS on hand but the sheer amount of materials required was not worth the reward when I could use them to win future SLBs instead.

Suggestions to improve:

• Adjust the final SMS goals to be more approachable or change the scoring back to the way it was last month for current generation materials + keep scoring for previous gen materials.
• Add SMS goals to the pre-incursion events to match the SLB scoring requirements to encourage participation.
• Consider adding a donation button for Lorca, Sloan, and Khan SPs to the appropriate SLB/SMS scoring for those who have completed the fleet commanders. A specialty ship part donation button similar to wandering warriors would also be a welcome addition.

[white kayak]

How do you complete today mission to get 5 of the new miner shards ? When it says mine 15 raw common transogen WITH the ship.

[molten marlin]

click the locate button, it directs you to a system and then you mine after

[queen kindle]

or change the scoring back to the way it was last month for current generation materials
Was with you, until this. Being able to use older grades is necessary in this game at many different levels. Even now as a deep into G6 player, I still regularly use G5- mats for my projects.

[spiral veldt]

The issue is they inflated the SMS requirements to match the increase in the scoring and didn't adjust it back down when they cut it back in half. They could of kept the increased focus on using current generation by having the score double what it is now for them and keeping the previous generation at their current values. While I don't use G5 materials for anything unless I decide to build yet another G5 ship just for an SLB. I understand it is incredibly useful for players before that point. Especially for G5 and below being able to use previous generation materials. I edited the post to add keep scoring for prev gen materials.

[naive folio]

As it turns out, several people from my alliance including myself did complete all these events and are shorted 100 points!! Can somebody please look into this. <@&509690795536941056>

[molten marlin]

Show a screenshot of the last heroic, it's still there

[naive folio]

There are no further SMS events to score the last 100 points. Several of us in my alliance completed each of the SMSs, so why is it showing 100 points short of completion?

[sweet frost]

I'm guessing you didnt finish the last event as the requirements were stupid high..

I would like to see the stats on how many players were able to finish it... guessing less than 5%

[molten marlin]

Post a screenshot of the heroic

not the meta

[ashen notch]

While I figured this out right away, the mission directive is worded horribly. It makes you think you have to mine, not go to a waypoint.

[peak bloom]

They meant a screenshot of the Chronicle of the Ascendant SMS (Heroic).

[naive folio]

Apologies, here you go

[molten marlin]

You posted the meta, post the heroic sms

this is the heroic, if you didn't complete this, you'll be 100 short

[turbid yew]

Can’t find system Kem’Bok to finish Clandestine Divide Part 1

[molten marlin]

Not a system, click the locate button

[dark horizon]

Best I could do after the continous mats spend after mats spend events.

[peak bloom]

You just posted the same one you posted before. They're asking you to post the Heroic SMS that doesn't say "Meta" in the title.

Can be found here.

[wicked tide]

Y is it saying I do have the rare event tickets I got it yesterday

[placid minnow]

Trivia event not rewarding 200 points towards the meta

[molten marlin]

restart

[placid minnow]

Simple enough, that worked. Thanks

[cinder oak]

Hello,
How am I supposed to complete this mission if I do not have Serene Squall ship yet?

[drifting drift]

click locate.. just go and mine 15 and your good (it also does not say "mine with Serene")

[wheat pasture]

It's a misleadingly worded description, further compounded by the way it is cut off. Yet another stunningly egregious example of the dev team being clueless and/or callous.

It should raise tons of internal red flags when we, as players, can quite sincerely question whether or not the devs are doing this sort of thing maliciously because they find it entertaining. Normally I would say "never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence", but when it happens over and over and over again... it becomes harder to give the benefit of the doubt.

Also, consider this one more stone on the pile for that video from Conor feeling like sarcastic mockery rather than sincere apology.

[cinder oak]

I mined 120 units of common transogen with my kvort but it did not complete. Any other suggestions?
Oh, and it's not even about mining transogen. I just need to reach that location. How stupid of me!!!!

[chilly nimbus]

Do Flashpoint Tokens carry over or do you have to spend them every time invasion is active?

[molten marlin]

they carry over

There will be one more flashpoint event this month, and the store will be back for it

[somber hinge]

Where are the system links?

[hasty wedge]

Just adding this to complaint list. If your job is to anger your player base off, gratz, you done it again. Maybe a few single digit whales manage to do the last milestone, 99,99% of playerbase did not.

I invested my time in this game and wont quit easy, but i will continue my protest by not spending a singe € to this game, even to its trop in the ocean. Do the things like this. I know the money lords whant there money, but you dont get anything from angry players.

[frank sequoia]

Nobody on my server in my bracket didn't finish heroic SMS, last MS was 101M ... great job Scopely, let's demotivate more and more players!!! Your management needs another slap!!! BTW, you could stop all of these out-of-reality spending events

[toxic wraith]

Read the text, answer question go to the name of the system, do the action in text

[toxic wraith]

Wow you got 500 points more than me in meta and in the meta slb are in 26th while I am in 7th, just completing one SMS, that's called life, sorry 25 other people were better than you.
That's not poor design because others managed it and got reward.

You got rewards at each milestone of meta SMS, but sure let's ignore those because you weren't perfect.
That's a you issue.

Ie you log in 19/20 days of an event which requires 20/20 logins is that design problem or you.
It was designed to reward top milestone of perfection not have any extra or leeway. You knew that at start.
Yet you wait till last minute to complain, no complaint on day 1

[toxic wraith]

[austere bay]

Mid G6 is like ~170 mil.... not even the moby diks on our server finished it

[hollow lichen]

might also have something to do with the fact that the officer is beyond useless for anyone in G6 too, i did a bit just because i wanted to progress my account a bit but the officer will never ever be used. Joachim is beter below deck for iso defense, keeping a slot on the bridge for damage and kim with morale and starchart research is about 10x better for shield regen plus a nice chunk of iso damage as well. So why would you ever use this new mbenga?

[flint coyote]

6 folks in my bracket finished 😂 stupid high

[amber wyvern]

I normally complete pretty much all events ... This speaks to the design of this event and game now.

[heavy ivy]

I dunno what sand pile you've had your head stuck in all weekend but people took to DC to complain about the milestones and the lack of care for the player base the instant the last event was posted. Needing to fully max over 2 g5 epics to complete the last milestone is 💯 unreasonable and has never been expected for a heroic before. Besides that people are still angered and annoyed because they posted a video saying they heard us and care. Then did this. Then remained very very very quiet on the subject. Most just want to know if this was intentional. Accidental. Or the way the game is going. Personally if the way the game is going is this I see a huge exodus as it is highly unreasonable. Still waiting for some kind of official response on the screw up that was the heroic SMS this weekend.

[heady glacier]

A wise player wouldn’t have even participated in that meta, save for next one

[sinful heart]

You either have a reading comprehension issue or you are trolling for the sake of it. Either way, you’re wrong.

[toxic wraith]

Yes that particular event kept milestones for generation only material spend, but with old scoring metrics.
Ie. G6 generation only had higher milestones, but for g6 unc and rare points were doubled.
So yes it was poorly executed, but really scopely have no requisite to offer any event and just getting a chance at rewards for new officer in month 1 is a luxury.
Some events have an overflow mechanic some don't.
That is way it is..
Now if you fell short by not reaching the exclusive club of completing event, yet you still unlocked the officer why complain, as can be seen from his SS, he managed over 129m/175m way overtopping 3rd milestone, why would you spend more when you know you can't reach the goal.

Initially people were like where's the event today? Assuming it just didn't reward perfect. Is this better than just an slb awarding first place. Where others get 0 or a progressive and, where you get rewards at each stage of meta

[viscid phoenix]

Every event in CotA had bonkers milestones.

[toxic wraith]

But sure if this is trolling so be it, there also shards in mission every SMS you did and in BP and even with higher milestones and slbs people still managed to unlock or will but very few managed a clean sweep of meta, so soon after last month's meta exactly the same.

Those that did this month's probably skipped last month's as milestones were lower but people spend way more.

If scopely sees people spending high they up milestones, reduce scoring.
That is just the way,
I completed 2 and, didn't even try in cota was no point I knew I couldn't unlock but was happy with what I got.

The guy above got over 140 shards and unlocked him, but was buffed because he couldn't complete the answer and the meta to earn a T2 unlock or even T3.
Because of other sourcing.

But sure if you always expect to be able to do every event every single month who is the fool

[serene void]

Anything with the word heroic in front of it is probably going to mean you're going to have to spend to finish it

[hasty wedge]

Point was that the last milestone was too big for everyone, even most spenders.

[dark horizon]

Remaining: 20, and you put a 6 day timer on it ? This is just wrong.

[sacred goblet]

nope, you have to spend money in Heroics ONLY if you decide to spend material/resources as you get them.
IF you hold and wait for events, then there is no need for spend.
Except the stupid M'Benga one which even the ones who spend have a hard times to finish it

[kind otter]

One of today’s trivia questions is “Who was Spock’s wife?” - but Spock NEVER married, he was betrothed to T’pring but they did not marry.

[coarse canopy]

Trivia is wrong. Asks who is Spock's Wife. Spock never had a wife. He was engaged, but never married.

[quiet karma]

he was married to saavik

[empty slate]

Incursion on a Tuesday. Again.

[south oriole]

Thank you for keeping the previous trivia so we can do it the next day, I kept checking the event but had no chance to actually go and kill the hostiles yesterday lol now I can

[coarse canopy]

Not in canon. The Novel 'Vulcan Heart' is not considered canon. Spock never married according to official lore

[muted sonnet]

Beat me to it

[hidden glade]

Incursion mid week again...way to suck the little remaining joy out of the game..bravo🤡

[jaunty island]

Stop scheduling incursions on week days. WTH is the matter with you people? Seriously

[pastel swan]

https://startrekfleetcommand.com/news/infinite-incursions-august-26/ on a Tuesday again? How about rotating constantly with new day every time OR lets go crazy! keep it on a day, I don‘t know, let‘s call this day Friday/Saturday, where we can utilize more than a couple hours to participate in 3SLBS and multiple ALBs?!

[next knoll]

Including this incursion 711 has had 3 bi's in the last 4, how is this fair?

[proper wagon]

who killed T Pring? in trivia it says who was spocks wife and not who is ? didnt know she died and i am sure it was not the blood wine 🙂

[obtuse hull]

No alliance tournament this month?

[molten marlin]

still waiting to hear back

[icy mural]

They always announce it late. And have to extend choice tokens. Because they can’t even get events right.

[gaunt wraith]

It would be an epic fail not to have it. I mean you guys plug and play everything else so why not just plug this back in?

[peak bloom]

710 misses you guys. 😢

[next knoll]

Same here I was really hoping we would meet up on this one

[graceful tundra]

I miss having events, this month has been I believably boring and has not paid well at all.

[light vessel]

Can the Flashpoint event store be brought back for a few days. Many folks didn[t get a chance to spend their event credits.

[pulsar hatch]

It comes back and currency carries over.

[gray stirrup]

<@&509690795536941056> When is the next alliance tournament?

[sacred goblet]

except its paused xD

[heavy ivy]

<@&509690795536941056> any word on if the heroic SMS mat spend on the weekend was a mistake or the new norm? It would be nice to know

[floral folio]

Scopley, I love incursions. Putting it in the middle of the workweek is an outrage. I cannot participate in one of my favorite events. Please make them on weekends again. Friday is a drag because I miss half the event, but at least I can be part of it. Tuesdays are a no go. No time before, during, or after work. You are breaking my heart.

[granite stirrup]

Most likely Mon - Wed is Megacube with PvP Event onTuesday. Alliance Tournament starting Wed

[warm flint]

<@&509690795536941056> How is it 404 is on BYE twice in a row?

[grizzled pelican]

Makes no difference if the wording was “who is Spock’s wife” or “who was Spock’s wife,” because both are wrong. They were betrothed, but they never actually got married. If you think she is his wife, please tell me what series/episode (or movie, etc.) this either takes place or is referenced. Thanks

[dark horizon]

I'm sorry, you want us to spend THAT for what amounts to maybe 10 officer shards ?

[brittle magnet]

@quasi ingot Tell the Event Manager: DO NOT RUN INCURSIONS DURING THE WEEK! How many times must we say this. If you are worried about declining play time... Maybe look at what YOU are doing to the players...

[odd yew]

The past 2 arcs have been nothing but heroic spend events, with an extreme drop off of anything that provides any materials.

[grave charm]

Why is the incursion being held in the middle of the week for the second time in a row? Could it be possible that some people have to work?

[obtuse hull]

Incursion should start on Friday or Saturday only

[smoky geode]

At Ops 24, the scoring for the Final Weapon SMS is ludicrous. I just unlocked my Armada Center and it's expecting me to run 33 UC Armadas in order to complete this SMS event? It's not even a heroic.

[hollow nimbus]

Aren't incursion events supposed to start today? Got nothing in my event list.

[pastel prism]

Scotty's Engineering events - any having trouble with these not scoring. I have completed several of the events, but only scoring for one is showing up.

[peak bloom]

No, it will be paused at the end of August.

[echo wedge]

No word from Scopely about the missing shattered Alliance events for people under 50? Is this incopetance or negligance?

[peak bloom]

Isn't this how Heroic events have always been? Small extra rewards for spenders. Best to be ignored by F2P.

[hollow nimbus]

Or negligent incompetence?

[peak bloom]

I do agree with this, but I think they chose Tuesday because it's the only day that doesn't have any Takeovers, and players get mad when their Takeovers are interrupted by invaders, or they have to waste Crossover Tokens to return to home server for Takeovers.

It would be ideal if they moved both Incursions and No Takeover Day to Saturday.

[pastel prism]

Incursion starts on Aug 26th, but suppose be incursion prep events soon.🙂

[shadow trellis]

Not always

[peak bloom]

There are plenty of events this month if you're Ops 30+. On the one hand, it's upsetting because I'm missing out on rewards, but on the other hand, it's nice to spend less time on the game for awhile.

[jaunty island]

Stfc is what a farming game now? Can you stop with the constant farming and mining and resource waste events? its beyond boring.

[jaunty island]

Has someone told you this feom scopely? Doesnt make any sense. There are TCs every day. That would be a stupid reason to put a 24 hour event on a week day

[shadow trellis]

So you want to move maintenance now to Saturday? That’s why no takeovers on a Tuesday

[peak bloom]

There are no Takeovers on Tuesday. Check the embassies of every territory and you'll see.

EDIT: No, I didn't need anybody from Scopely to tell me this because it's obvious when you look at the territory map and plan how your alliance will start a season.

[jaunty island]

Guess youre not going to answer. I dont care about TCs. They are a non event. It worked on Friday all this time

[jaunty island]

So youre speculating thanks

[barren swift]

So, anyone else notice that the first new event following our "We understand that we're not supporting g3 and g4 players" announcement is only for g6 players? Not a promising start, Scopely.

[peak bloom]

Yes. I literally said, "I think they chose Tuesday because..."

[peak bloom]

Sure, Saturday, Tuesday, any day is fine for maintenance. They do it at 4am ET/1am PT when most in our region are asleep, and way before any Incursions or Takeovers would start, so it shouldn't matter.

[peak bloom]

The impression I got from that video was that they'd begin addressing that issue starting next month and throughout the year, not immediately.

I'm guessing they've already coded all the events for this month and don't want to fall behind schedule by going back and changing things that are already finished.

I agree it isn't a good look, though.

[echo wedge]

Shame on you for not giving me my Shattered Alliance events. Iam not happy.

Thanks for saving me money tho, i guess. Will not be so eager to spend in the future

[graceful tundra]

There are not plenty of events.

[peak bloom]

From what I've heard from Ops 30+ players last month and this month, the number of events has been overwhelming. Just because you don't like mining events doesn't mean they don't count.

They added brand new events leading up to Incursions, and added Ferengi BP events to the Season Pass tab and the Flashpoint tab, too.

[graceful tundra]

I've been playing this game from the start, there are significantly less events than usual.

[peak bloom]

I wish that were true. Most players want less events and content (but not necessarily less rewards) and more bug fixes.

[graceful tundra]

Why are you defending scopley? At least a dozen events were pulled this month because scopley over reacted to player complaints; I want the OPTION of a lot of events, but people FOMO makes them feel like they HAVE to complete them all; and they don't. It's another case of scopley over reacting to player complaints. At least a dozen events were pulled and now I'm bored and a little annoyed that my number one source of in game rss and currencies was kneecappedz

[cinder flame]

So the GM said they were going to have more events for the lower lvls, but today all the pre-Incursions events are for 51+, which hasn't been the case before and is a direct contradiction to what was promised in the GM's message. Scopely, admit you messed up and comp the impacted players. <@&509690795536941056>

[peak bloom]

I would never ever defend Scopely, they're indefensible at this point. I am just disagreeing with your assertion. Perhaps I was mistaken about this month though, if they pulled events that existed last month and were planned for this month, but last month was overwhelming for Ops 30+.

[graceful tundra]

I'm ops 30+ and I was not overwhelmed, I was quite happy with having things to do. Once again, people need to learn that you don't HAVE to finish all the events, skip them, but saying there should be less is selfish because hey, maybe there are some high ops players that have finished a bunch of loops and don't have as many day to day things to do.

[versed grotto]

So.. instead of fixing something correctly.
#⭐-official-announcements message

You've decided to run another event. You are still failing.

Gonna lose more

[lime cove]

Help me understand this thinking - You send out a video acknowledging neglecting G3/G4, then you switch a set of Events they should have to 51+ and your compromise for people being upset is yet another spend event? Why? Why not just turn on the Event for G3/G4? While we're at it - why don't those Events start at 25 when Incursion participation begins?

[hollow hinge]

What makes you think I want to have another dang spend event instead of the shattered alliance events? Not acceptable

[lost phoenix]

I have had to stop doing many of the events and grinds. Despite being retired, the game is overwhelming in the time requirements - it seems like at least 4 daily grinds have been added since the last "archive" was created.....wasn't at least one archive supposed to be created per new grind added to reduce the grinding time? I mean, really, I am retired and can't keep up since this is a 14 hour a day pasttime.....

[peak bloom]

He did say they'd begin those events for lower levels starting next month, not immediately. Watch his video again. It sucks for us little guys, but we only need to stick it out a couple more weeks.

[lime cove]

Then there was no need to change the Events this month, was there?

[ripe forge]

Shattered Alliance was 25+ last time it ran. They just wanted to stick it to G3/4 one more time before September

[cursive coral]

Im absolutely livid with the g3 g4 kick out of shattered alliance events! We have the same stuff to build and upgrade especially in g4 that g5 and g6 have but yet we get kicked to the curb how does this correlate with yalls apology video!? I have stacked stuff up just for these shattered alliance events now what I upgrade for no extra benefit so I should just expect yall to kick g4 out of all future events? G5 or lose!? What a huge decision to hurt and anger your lower base players! @rose ice

[low remnant]

So pre-incursion events, after being open to G4 last this month, aren’t open to G4 for this month? I swear y’all are trying to make me quit the game. Pause flashpoints, take away the weekend spend SLBs, no syndicate SLBs outside of the tiny ones for dailies, advertise an event and then say nah… not for you. Y’all are taking away my drive to log in for more than an hour to progress in this game as now it’s too disincentivized. .

[peak bloom]

Aren't the Shattered Alliance events also spend events (much like Chronicle of the Ascendant), but with more competition since they're XSLBs tho? 🤔

[vagrant topaz]

Time the alliance tournament appropriately... A repetious timeline seems beyond the scope of scopely rational, but hey let the OCD peeps make a million clicks and categories, and randomly thow stuff in.... people love uncertainty as much as financial markets do... feel free to compensate me for stating common sense.

[civic pasture]

pretty much

[peak bloom]

In that case, isn't a less competitive Cosmic Choice SLB for Officer Depot Tokens better than a more competitive Shattered Alliances XSLB for Officer Depot Tokens? 🤔

[versed grotto]

I've come to the conclusion someone will ne fired and someone takes over with a promise to be better then we get more of the same...

Someone gotta be the scapegoat before they kill it before the end of the year

[low remnant]

Not for G4. At least Shattered Alliance events have tons of options for scoring points from DTI credits, FC upgrades, special ship parts, and lots more. I’m not limited to only one currency like the Weekend soend event.

[heavy ivy]

did they not give us a week break last time before trying to squeeze us for the 2nd set of heroics? (Oh and still no update yet from anyone on whether they are gonna screw us on the Heroic Mat Spend again)

[peak bloom]

That's a fair point. Not strictly better then, but maybe not worse because while there are more options for scoring points, it's roughly twice as hard to place in them since you're competing with 2 servers instead of 1.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but don't some of them only give rewards for Top 25 instead of Top 50? If so, it's 4x as hard to place.

[low remnant]

Each has their pros and cons. What this is obviously meant to do is have more people spend mats to push into G5 (many of whom aren’t ready I might add) by limiting what they can spend… thus pushing them higher in ops.

I can remember the exact scoring because… it’s been a month and now I can’t see them 🤣

[rose ice]

I was waiting to see how STFC would change after the apology video from the GM. And the first chance STFC got you made the video look like lip service

G5 and G6 players get to compete in the shattered alliance events, but the G3 and G4 players that your GM labeled as neglected don't get to compete in such events and go unrewarded

Just holding you accountable to your own words.

I didn't wanna believe it when folks said things like "yeah yeah we've heard things like this before."

I'm so disappointed in you

[visual anchor]

Shattered Alliance is not just heroic. It’s more like heroically heroic. Even that understates it. I got no hope of even making level 1. Why do you bother us with that stuff…?

[idle parcel]

I hear you. The last 2 months were unlike anything I've seen. I couldn't keep heads or tails on it all.

[spark radish]

Oh great we lose the XSLBs that at least matched ops levels.

[civic pasture]

XSLB usally offer more reward and larger placements but has way more competition. id take a SLB over an XSLB any day

[echo wedge]

We are losing 4 XSLB's, 4 SMS's, and the Meta. And gaining 1 SLB... How is that even comparable?? Its not even remotely close.

[civic pasture]

we were comparing the XSLB and meta the the chronicles of ascendence SLB and Meta. not talking about the scopley rug pull for G3/G4.

[sacred goblet]

I want to be sure about something.
So... scopely start a series of Flashpoint events.
They made at least 2 crucial officers for it's ONLY M;benga and Scotty which works only on flashpoints hostiles
Now flashpoints going to be paused.
Officers are uselesss
Correct me if im wrong (?)

[worldly cedar]

Is it the same as last month with tournament the day after incursion?
If so will choice rewards still be usable?
Now that we have maxed Emerald Chain what bonus do we get?
Coms anyone?

[next garden]

Not really. Because with shattered alliance you had more avenues for scoring.

[wheat pasture]

In the interest of being thorough (and pedantic, I guess, sorry 😅), only their officer abilities are useless outside of Flashpoint. Both of their below decks abilities are universally functional (whether they're meaningful is another story; additive bonuses are so outrageously diluted at this point in the game that even D'Chok and Scotty are going to be a drop in the bucket with their 700% bonuses. Respectable for lower level players, but quickly obsolete).

All of that said, the point you're trying to make is 100% valid, and should absolutely be addressed by Scopely.

[wide wraith]

Can we expect the Alliance Tournament to start again on Wednesday and the Battlepass Token Event Shop to be extended? <@&509690795536941056>

[gloomy rain]

Did anyone get any of their promised weekly transogen token space tokens yet?

[ashen notch]

Thanks for the opportunity chest tokens in the overflow event i cant use because im not paying $20 for $5 worth of pass. One more item in my inventory i cant use.

[vestal cloak]

oooh! How exciting! Transo mining after 2 days of Transo mining. Seriously?

[outer dome]

For the next 4 days or so

[civic warren]

before the officer depot tokens these event would give 1 or sometimes even 2 full epic officer unlocks... now the #1 spot = 20 epic shards.
Real world inflation is nothing compared to scopely event rewards

[velvet dock]

I just finished doing an armada and was attacked by him.

[potent trail]

Usually accepted with most RoEs, you are in a regular ship and are OPC

[velvet dock]

So what happened to not attacking a ship or player that just finished doing an armada?

[potent trail]

Never heard of that as part of a rule. Youre not allowed to hit someone in the MIDDLE of an armada, waiting for the timer to count down. But you are free to hit anyone just loitering and sitting afk in space, doing nothing. I dont understand why a rule of "If youve just finished an armada, you cannot be hit" would exist, when there is no way to know if youve just finished an armada 5 minutes, or 5 hours ago, and your ship is simply just AFK in the middle of space.

Are you saying that if i finished an armada 2 days ago, and i left my ship afk for 2 days, that no one is allowed to hit my ship, ever? Until the end of time?

[velvet dock]

Who are you

[potent trail]

Im the Queen of planet earth. Why would it matter who I am? Youre in a public chat channel. You posted something. I responded.

What are you looking for, here? Are you looking for someone to tell you that what that person did was terrible, and they should be arrested for crimes against humanity? Or are you asking if it was a right thing to do under your servers RoE? This discord channel is for every server in the game, so I dont know what your specific RoE for your server is, but ALL servers RoE that ive seen so far, have never included a "You cannot be hit if you finished an armada" Rule. None.

Maybe your server is different. Maybe your server wants to strictly be a PVE server or something and ban all PVP. Weird, but i dunno. Ive never seen a server like that before. But all I can say is, ive never seen a rule like that in any RoE for any server

[velvet dock]

Thank you for the info 😊

[potent trail]

No probs! Generally most RoE will allow this, you just have to be careful not to be OPC, otherwise you will always be a target and could lose that loot.

[subtle oracle]

Doctor who star trek cross over fun arc scope I found my time ship how did socpey miss this possibleity

[celest tusk]

This transogen refinery is 💩. Since it started I have only gotten 24 forge dust ..... how am I supposed to do research if there's no real hope of getting the stuff I need for it without spending actual money? EPIC Fail Scopely, but it seems like y'all should be getting used to that lately.

[subtle oracle]

sor bord this arc next

[heavy ivy]

When you eventually unlock the serene squall in 3 months you get access to it daily

[celest tusk]

Then it won't happen because I'm not killing myself for a stupid ship

[heavy ivy]

the harshness of having so many pay ships to grind is overkill now and by the time you complete one there is another one or two more to start grinding.

[queen kindle]

You'll have the mats eventually. There's only one research so the impact is small if you're unlucky.

[copper quest]

Your alliance is probably thanking them for getting that voyager out of exchange armadas anyways

[junior juniper]

so, i have 1026, so either RNG loves me, or you havn't been able to keep the common trans refinery running.

[celest tusk]

Well, Congratulations to you, I do the refinery every day, but thanks for input.

[lilac oracle]

Everyone knows any alliances named fire, phoenix, borg, star are just lame anyway

[junior juniper]

Sorry, I wasn't trying to brag, but playing gatcha games always results in low drops. Sorry. 🙁

[celest tusk]

Max refines every day, I'm ops 60 .... I know how it works.

[lilac oracle]

@celest tusk what does the forge things give anyway?

[dim lava]

<@&509690795536941056> The ISS Jellyfish event, like really?
I'm level 36, how can I even compete against a level 50 player in spend when I don't have access to 4* mats, can you fix this so that I compete against a level 39 max?

[molten marlin]

It won't be changing, the event is there for everyone that doesn't have a jellyfish, once someone builds one they no longer get the event, so the pool of players will lower. Look into an alliance that has a 3* territory so you can pull the blueprints weekly

[dim lava]

So no chance till I get to lvl50, brilliant..... All the alliances that has 3 * territory, full and a waiting list to get in, so Ja

[jolly hound]

<@&509690795536941056> What do we have to do to go back and get proper Syndicate events? None of this syndicate-as-secondary-scoring-SLB nonsense. Just give us heroic Syndicate events back with Premium Mirror Dust!

[next garden]

I’ve never gotten the iss jellyfish event and I’m ops 43. I haven’t even built a jellyfish

[merry violet]

I got it once, never again though.

[queen hearth]

aaaaaaand another running of the mining and pve events simultaneously after saying last time during trashpoint it was a 'mistake'. trash. absolute trash quality.

[glass pewter]

Suliban hunt isn't scoring if that helps 🤣

[oblique basin]

Any reason scopely why you aren't including automation parts in this XSLB?

[left marlin]

@near saddle Hi there and thx for holding down the fort while OH is on vacation. Just wondering if there’s any news regarding Alliance Tournaments. Most months it starts on the last Wednesday of an Arc, which was last Wednesday. Thx 👍🖖

[sour sapphire]

Indeed, would love to know this info! 👆

[molten marlin]

Announcement will be going out later this afternoon

[ocean arch]

Autogrinding and mining are two of the most boring things in the game. They involve ZERO interaction with other players. Deciding to double down on them is baffling.

[queen hearth]

what gives on the low value for epic rev parts when compared to the unc and rare?

[tawdry hill]

I've never built the Jellyfish and have never seen the event. I'm OPS 42 on server 98.

[tacit sonnet]

2 event mining with 2 tritanium chest ??

[round flume]

Pls put the Incursions back on friday or saturday…( any day on a weekend) 😇👍

[tacit sonnet]

it is a Nolife game to bad if you have a job they dont care about us

[obtuse hull]

So at every alliance tournament there has been the possibility of exchanging the choice tokens so why does it say this is an exceptional case? This would indicate it's the first time it had happened.
Please make it make sense.

[tacit sonnet]

since when scopely = sense tell me

[high aurora]

If they're not going to make it a permanent thing to extend the choice reward tokens, then only run Alliance Tournaments during the arc. Problem Solved. It's not going to generate $, People are not going to spend on it. People will just engage less or not care or become bitter because they'll be getting less rewards because they won't spend real money on 10k task completion.

[tacit sonnet]

Scopely = 💵 💰 but soon the game will die cause too many content that people cant do !!!

[high aurora]

'Lets make a fun easy event for G6 more difficult for the playerbase after the current run because we really need another L right now"

[tacit sonnet]

lvl 80 will be the last all server getting empty that s why they merge server they are in panic time they dont know why but soon they will realize that working people are tired of giving money and even cant catch up nolife player every month we loosing at least 1 player in every big alliance

[unreal whale]

Thank you for addressing that ferengi pass confusion

[austere mortar]

i wanted to rant about this too. using choice tokens for AT has been a thing for a long time now. it is even a reason to push ops into g6 to begin with. “threatening” to take it away now is sick and short sighted.

[left marlin]

@full swan Welcome back, hope your vacation was a good one. Thx for all the updates, especially concerning Alliance Tournaments. And while we appreciate that the Choice Tokens deadline has been extended to cover AT, someone should point out to Live Ops that this “exceptional case” wouldn’t be necessary if they just remembered to stick to a regular schedule, such as starting AT on the last Wednesday of every Arc. Just sayin’ 😉🖖

[full swan]

Thanks! Also, this is what I've been hearing and been passing on.

[runic meadow]

Guess they had to Sharpen that knife.

[woven kettle]

Alternatively, keep this AT schedule post arc, as a good between-arcs event, but then preemptively plan choice tokens to stick around long enough, so no extension needed 😉 Two solid options that makes it a win win for everyone!

[worldly cedar]

Well got 2 out of 3 answered

[outer dome]

except scopely, cause no packs to sell for mats 🤣

[errant chasm]

Why is there an extra ticket event? Screw up or something? two mining, gorn, and domination which showed up late.

[molten marlin]

the extra mining event is for level 70 players that can't complete domination

[opaque hawk]

yall do know that no comp chest was needed for ferengi event, if you did them all, it fully completes the pass and overflow,

[queen kindle]

Today's bp event runs for 2 days. Anyone finishing it tomorrow would not be able to finish the overflow.

[opaque hawk]

yeah, the normal battle pass is to do the exact same thing, so if they waited until tomorrow to do the ferengi, they would then be skipping the regular....

while we are here, @full swan still havent gotten any word back on that 2nd flashpoint where some of us were not getting the IMS rewards/points event though we participated. last heard from you on the 30th when you asked for my ID

[high wharf]

If you fail to run alliance tournaments during the claims for the battle pass materials, pretty sure you'll lose another 10k players

[sly belfry]

I'm ops 42, server 701. I have never seen the ISS Jellyfish event. I do not have a Jellyfish.

[proven sparrow]

You need the Jellyfish to see the event. to unlock the Jellyfish your alliance needs to capture a Territory with the Jellyfish Construction Yard

[sly belfry]

I was under the impression that an event exists to source jellyfish bps as someone mentioned above. I was referring to that event

[proven sparrow]

If i remember correctly, there used to be an event but that was removed when they added the construction yard to the TC. the blueprints are also in event stores for sourcing. Unless the event still exists at really low ops levels to get it but i havent see it for a very long time

[digital forge]

They are also in armada trade in chests

[junior anchor]

I’m on 707, have the ISS jellyfish maxed and have never seen the event, except when bugged and there are like 5 at once, and it’s quickly fixed and removed.

So I know the event exists. But I think it’s disabled for the 7XX servers. Rev recently mentioned how some servers don’t have it.

Event feedback: please consider making new arcs easier to start and harder to end. Flashpoint went from impossible to almost not impossible for our server. But by then, it was over.

Just flip it next time. Make it passable by everyone at first. Then make it harder.

[wet copper]

Is trivia question 5 not working ?

[alpine fable]

...or redeem epic armada chests

[austere mortar]

if you don’t have a jelly, you won’t see the event. get a jelly, see event.

[wise pilot]

We have the same unrealistic targets for the mat sms this week, any chance they could be looked at?

[hazy hare]

I’m level 55, I don’t understand why don’t put epic 5* ore and gas on “choice reward” and crystal is, if and I can convert it in refinery 1 by 1. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[outer dome]

<@&509690795536941056> thanks for the Cosmic Choice Event - Heroic 😂 - and ONLY regular materials... none of the score chances the OPs 51+ got in their shattered alliances for special materials.... - Way to NOT go...

[icy mural]

Dear Star Trek Fleet Command Team,
I’ve poured my heart into this game, loyally purchasing the battle pass time and again, all for the extra choice tokens that have become the heartbeat of my strategy during Alliance Tournaments. These tokens let me fine-tune my fleet, rally with my alliance, and chase those hard-fought victories—moments that fill me with pride and connection to this incredible community. The recent extension of the Choice Reward store during these events is a glimmer of hope, showing you understand how vital this overlap is to players like me who live for the tournament meta. But if you stop aligning them, it would break my spirit and my wallet—I simply won’t be able to justify buying the battle pass anymore. I know I’m not alone; many of us have built our gaming dreams around this synergy, and losing it would feel like losing a piece of what makes STFC special. Please, keep this lifeline intact so I can continue to support the game I love with all my heart.
Respectfully,
[A Devoted Commander]

[stuck phoenix]

so there is going to be 10 ticketed events this time?

[tribal iris]

Any other g4 players not have any Incursion related events atm.. I’m Ops 43 and alliance mate who's 42 and we have ZERO incursion events

[merry violet]

There is an earn the jellyfish event (or something like that). I have seen it, it rewards jellyfish BPs. It is also a leaderboard-style event that is not well thought out.

[neon elk]

Was just about to ask the same thing. Ops50 and haven't had a single incursions related event since it started when apparently g5 players in my alliance have been getting them
<@&509690795536941056> something we're missing here or is this something to be raised?

Edit: just seen the announcements post. Nevermind

[stoic linden]

In case you were reading this and wondering about the announcement, here's the link : #⭐-official-announcements message

[neon elk]

Yeah I've seen hence the edit 😅 thanks though 👍

[heavy ivy]

I just wanna say from someone that generally places top 10 in this event this speaks volumes. What's the point of trying since the SMS milestones are so high, finally got our answer tho, scopes does not care about how players feel just pump out the same broken content constantly. Having to max 2 Epic g5 ships is not my opinion of a smart ran heroic event. just wanna put perspective on it 1,130,223 g5 UC, 565112 rare or 169,534 Epic (or any combination of the 3) is an extremely high amount especially considering each month it feels like they lower the BP rewards.

[craggy elm]

I just spend 0. Officer has little value to me.

[heavy ivy]

it irks me that the new option they want from us is to just not do events

[craggy elm]

I can see no motivation anymore to "do everything" and reduced my time in the game drastically.

Annoying began with "drain their Directives" events for lousy rewards followed by "a dozend battlepasses a month".
Their greed is insane.

Hazard is annoying.
Transogen mining is annoying.
Needing 10k hours of Sigma speedups is annoying.

Fun is gone. Won't spend more than 20 bucks a month for the normal pass

[heavy ivy]

My problem is I dont see any motivation to do anything, even things like syndicate I was super motivated to try and get to cap, now it's just daunting and they've taken things away like syndicate in bp or the syndicate slb rewards all we seem to get now is broken 5-7 day events or mine mine mine and then mine some more. The best thing they did with the heroic SMS for officers was the tiered approach that ran through the arc and they took that away forcing people to do stuff on their terms again.

[daring dock]

this arc blows been getting other stuff done... and now bored... our server isnt getting an incursion either unless they screw up again so thats lame too

[austere bay]

Having to pay for a grind event is a joke..... why cant we get all the fun events that pay syndicate xp back?

[rancid sentinel]

Is it just me or does it seem like there are a lot fewer events since the beginning of the flashpoint stuff? I’m consistently bored since it seems like there are fewer events

[valid knoll]

The problem was the WOK was so jam packed with events we asked for fewer events this go around, and so they did give us fewer. I think the amount is actually good, but the problem is repetition. Especially with only 5 events rotating for battlepass and 2 events for the transogen events, the issue is not quantity but lack of diversity of events

[visual furnace]

Hey <@&509690795536941056> how about you don't send us notifications for pay to play events?

Guess that video from Connor was just lies...

[woven kettle]

So you take away the regular syndicate events that offer premium dust and officer shards. The one run? You had since expansion was ridiculous in milestones and not even offered to syndicate 55+ people. And instead you now replace with a $25 per day entrance fee to grind to earn syndicate and premium dust…… Oye guys. This isn’t doing better.

You know where you can put this event. 🙂 I’ll be keeping it in the ignore list but definitely will be holding it against you

[gray stirrup]

P2Play is bad but $25 a day?

[rancid sentinel]

I disagree that this is enough quantity but poor quality. I think it is better to have more to do and do what you feel like doing rather than having less to do that is super boring. I do agree the cycling events for upgrades and rep grinding being taken away is not good and the repetitive BP events is also not good

[dim vortex]

@full swan seriously what is going on? No actual events this arc then you drop this £25 a day nonsense, is this the path you choose after the apology video? This is tone deaf and insulting. Scopely needs to sort this out fast

[high aurora]

Just when you think Scoplely can't generate another L, they launch another pay to participate event

[sand geyser]

These rewards are bad and you should feel bad.

[golden kiln]

It’s insane to me that someone decided that this looks like a good idea

[ornate jasper]

Scopleys heartfelt apology about "getting things wrong" didn't last long then.... they're so out of touch

[cosmic plover]

The transogen hostile grind and mining event is done....Long live the new transogen hostile grind and mining event!!!

[woven kettle]

You know what’s great about the Scotty meta? It’s available to everyone (well ops 30+ whatever it is). There’s a track of events for everyone. But then you have heroic overflow with heroic events which are, guess what, still available to everyone. Just require more work. But people who bought squall get an advantage (thus heroic). That’s a great way to give everyone something but add incentive or bonus for those who pay.

New syndicate event? Blatant and gross “fulfill your purpose to give us money in order to engage.”

You know what would have been better? A Meta and series of events for everyone to do. And then sure add a LIMITED aspect that’s pay only or pay incentivized. How hard is this, guys? Seriously, you’ve got to see players are sick and tired of these blatantly gross money grabs

[potent rivet]

I will NEVER PAY TO PLAY any event you do Scopely. You releasing this event after the interview with the GM shows you have learned absolutely nothing! Wake up before your entire player base is gone! <@&509690795536941056>

[low remnant]

lol. $100 for Pay2Play Syndicate event. Go home scopes. Y’all are drunk as a skunk.

[golden kiln]

If you just buy one of their hundred dollar standalone syndicate pack specials they run, it’s almost the exact same amount and you don’t have to do any work lol

[potent rivet]

Or just not reward them at all.

[golden kiln]

Oh my point is it’s not something special people are gonna waste their money on; because you literally now have to do work for four days and you get almost the same rewards as you were doing no work if you paid for it 🤣

I would never waste my money on something stupid like that. There are things that could be worth it if you wanna move up fast, but this is absolutely not one of them. Some of the stuff cracks me up. There’s hardly anything worth it right now when pretty much everybody’s gonna be level 70 within the next three months anyway whether you pay or not. They’ve created such a stop gap that it’s almost game over.

[worldly cedar]

There is a room with very bold easy to understand writing on the wall that says, Scopley does not understand their own game or players, read the room Scopley or it’s just the writing on the wall

[heavy ivy]

I think the big thing everyone is missing is when I unlocked syndicate 56 they offered me a pack with 4.5M in it as a limited time buy offer, which I didnt buy. Why would I now pay the same price for 4.5M syndicate XP but also have to grind on top of it..... It's all about geting the mega whales to buy to get to max syndicate meanwhile making it impossible for anyone that would prefer to spend money on other things in game to get to max before the next increase. 20M to get to 57 and I get like 300k a day.....

[night otter]

Yeah not buying syndicate seals to participate in an event. What a joke 🤡🤡

[dawn fossil]

Stop doing incursions. $.99 servers can’t handle them game is unplayable

[idle parcel]

I'm here for the comments, and I'm not disappointed. Once again, Scopely gives its player base the finger with this paid event. I went to syndicate 56 earlier this month, and they make that much, much harder to advance to 57. As many have said, at this stage of the game, everything is done to dangle a carrot and frustrate you, hoping you will buy their $99 carrot. I'm ops 64 now. Just even getting to 65 seems daunting because of how few speedups are given. I often think how much more I would get done if I just quit this game. It's something always in the back of my mind. Seeing the comments here, I know I'm not the only one. Scopely has refused to put into play the things they said they would do. I'll be very surprised if next month is any better. They just want our money without making a working, enjoyable game. Every day it seems there are new bugs.

[ornate jasper]

Don't worry folks, I'm sure they've only released this event because it's our fault our syndicate levels are not high enough. We've only got ourselves to blame for not doing enough

[muted cipher]

Is there not a pack you can buy to get Battle Pass pts this month? I missed 2 days and can't complete the event now.

[jaunty island]

Have paid a lot of money to play this free game. I draw the line at forcing me to pay to participate. But hey keep pushing, see how that works out for you.

[crystal goblet]

Hey scopely, there is a finger that would define what I feel about your recent syndicate Pay2Play events. You got 5 options.

And I’ll take something out of your book. No freebies.

[wild pelican]

So funny to see Scopely make a non-apology and then continue down this path. Are the rest of you convinced that we're only a source of income to them and not people at all?

[woven kettle]

Definitely giving these vibes. Video served initial purpose of making people think things would change. So no further effort extended to actually make things change

[austere mortar]

pay to play events 🤮

[kind rapids]

They're not compulsory, but they do pay for the rest of us to play the game free. If no one is paying, there is no game.

[austere mortar]

that misses the point. sure you don’t have to do them. i also won’t be doing them. But it’s also not like they are doing much to engage f2p (which i am not) tonight either. This just looks and feels and smells like a joyless cash grab for the sake of it.

[kind rapids]

So what if it is, it's not compulsory, it doesn't impact on any arc or other event. I think it's a complete rip off, so I won't be bothering with it, but some will and they can do what they like with their money. There are lots of issues with the game, this just isn't one of them

[austere mortar]

you’re welcome to your opinion, it doesn’t invalidate mine that it is a tone deaf, crappy event… it is a pack with extra steps. it is a greedy psychological attempt to get ppl to pull out the credit cards.

[kind rapids]

I don't see how it's tone deaf, the main issue with pay to play has always been when it gives huge advantage in arcs and events, this doesn't at all, it's entirely standalone and optional. Getting people to get they're credit card out keeps it free for those who want it free.

[outer dome]

Need to buy elite track to see points pack

[errant barn]

Paying for a game is normal. Paying $25 per month requires a certain level of quality in return. Paying each functionality or useless pixel ship for $100 is another level. Paying 25$ for a single non-rewarding grindless event is absolutely not okay.
The whole game would not even be sold for more than $30 on a platform like Steam. Simply because there's no quality at all, no gameplay, no content, no graphic, no story and an archaïc smartphone oriented UI design. You can find out there hundreds of video games that are one time purchase and outperform STFC on every aspect and yet, greediness is still the order of the day.
People are complaining here because once again, it's just another straw that breaks the camel's back.

[kind rapids]

There is no requirement or need to spend on STFC, not even $25 a month. If people don't like specific packs or spend events they are perfectly free to not spend. The reason why they keep charging what they are for what they are charging for is because people are paying for it. Don't like the pay events don't pay for them, it's really that simple.

[errant barn]

And you're right. But people who have paid for a long time would like to get a return on their investment, would like to see the results of all the promises that have been made. And none of that has happened yet. We got endless grinding, no reward, and a 2k daily hostile limit. Nothing is going right in this game anymore.

[alpine fable]

I suppose thats what scopely calls "lesson learned".

[heavy ivy]

You missed a 9 on that carrot. Seems most things are like 10 packs to get anywhere now

[heavy ivy]

You are missing the point that you can pay the same price for the same syndicate reward when you level the syndicate up. Why would you pay for the same reward but have an added grind into it where it locks you in to having to spend time in a game that for most pay people seems lack luster at best and can be completed in about 30 mins of gameplay. Half the claims are just going through the paces not needed. The events that engage the pay people have been a massive slap in the face for poor rewards this arc. I said it last heroic run and I will say it again. Posting an apology video and then totally ignoring the mass amount of posts asking for change is very very bad taste. I have seen 5 big spenders leave over the last few days with couple more I know are on the line. When all the big spenders are gone the lesser spenders won't keep the game going.

[kind rapids]

You're missing the point, you don't have to pay for either, or you can pay for both, or choose which one you want to pay for. No one is forcing anyone to pay for anything. The mass of complaints haven't been about the fact there is pay contact, or it's quality and the video wasn't about that either, however much people want to pretend it was. Getting mad about something that is entirely optional is a waste of time, particularly with all of the other issues the game has.

[heavy ivy]

Its about the lackluster of the pay events you still are not reading. If you can buy a pack for 99 and get it instantly why would you pay 99 for the same thing that you then have to grind out over 4 days. But keep sticking to your same drivel I am sure many agree with the ignorance you show. We used to get syndicate in the BP. There used to be syndicate in SLBs. This month we got none so they could put a pay wall event into the game. Then that pay wall event is very lackluster. If you think the game is going in the right direction good for you. Most come here to let them know what they are doing wrong. You seem to come here so you can say "all is good we love what you are doing keep it up" cutting events that everyone can do to just put a pay event in only is the issue. Having the pay event and then still the others no issues. Content is getting cut to make it pay only. How many bp do we have in a month now? Arguing out because people are saying how fed up they are with everything being pay now is your choice but stop calling people out for getting upset that the game has gone 80% pay to play now. Things were way better before the arcs started this year and have steadily declined. The amount of spend required for most events that in the past everyone could do with spenders getting the advantage has changed to spend at least 400 a month on the game or else get stuck auto grinding hostiles and mining for events. There is no drive. The fun competitive SLBs have disappeared all we get is massive amounts of heroic SMS or mining SMS's. And then there is the heroic xSLBs that have replaced xSLBs there is no drive to participate in something when you have zero time to prep. Having zero time to prep means no point in grinding to do them. No point in grinding to do them means nothing to do in game. Nothing to do in game means people get bored and leave. Spenders spend to use the stuff they spend on. If there is nothing to use it on why will they spend?

[kind rapids]

It's really simple, if you don't think the pay event is worth the money, don't pay for it. It really doesn't need essay. The reality is if the pay events weren't getting money in they wouldn't run them or charge what they do for them.

[heavy ivy]

You are hung up on the pay event. The comments made have been about all events how everything is moving to pay only. The reality is this is an event feedback channel people are going and leaving feedback and you are blasting them for just being mad about a pay event

[kind rapids]

But this isn't an example of making things pay only, its standalone, it doesn't impact any arc or any other event. It's entirely a choice to pay and do it or not. The issue with the last two arcs is they have been almost impossible without paying and that has caused a lot of complaints. But writing article length posts about an event you can just ignore seems like more of a waste of time than the event itself.

[heavy ivy]

Muting you after this. You are missing the point of the feedback not being about 1 event. Stop trolling the people making feedback on issues in the game. Events are a huge issue. People need events for things to do. Pay only events don't do this. The majority of this arc has been pay only events. Everytime I write I am listing issues with the game. Everytime you write you are lising issues with the people playing the game. It's a feedback channel not a come and troll people leaving feedback channel.

[true needle]

Can this event come back at some point
Or if your Boss hates it then at least take it down

[graceful tundra]

HAHAHAHA... NO.

[dim vortex]

I think the big issue is that the arc overall has been poor, sentiment is low, the number of active events has been almost zero and then we got a video saying they recognised the problem and promised to do better. The next content we see is a pay to play event. Yes we can ignore it but we still have nothing to do. The transogen events have not changed and everyone is bored and angry. This was a monumental misstep and totally tone deaf. It’s fair for people to lump all the actions of the last 8 weeks in a bucket and be angry and no parse through the nuances of each event. Scopelys apology was general and so are the complaints. The fact that the value of the event is also terrible is almost inconsequential compared to the message it has sent to a rightfully disgruntled population of players.

[kind rapids]

The problem is everyone has interpreted the video as being about what ever it is they personally have an issue with. You say it was general, but in fact it was pretty specific about the issues being addressed and pay to play events wasn't one of them. There are lots of issues with the game that impact everyone and make game play close to impossible. But a completely optional event that most people won't bother with has, despite what you say had a number of specific complaints today. You complain there's not enough to do, others complain there's too much so in reality it's not something that's ever going to make everyone happy. Pay to Play events are integral to the business model and keep the game free for everyone else, today's pay to play event can be completed with a few kills and has no impact on any other arc or event, it's completely irrelevant to anyone other than those willing to pay for it.

#FreeFlashpoints

[sand stream]

Oh yeah, and even within the same OP‘s 54 level, different syndicate points are distributed depending on the amount. Absolutely correct 🤣

[jolly hound]

This person has got to be a Scopely plant to try and make it seem like things aren't awful in the current state of the game. CMs are practically begging players to not quit and archive their accounts. Player counts are dropping, and Scopely goes and releases MORE trash events that are pay to play. That's gonna be a no from me Dawg.

I have no issues with payed events like this Syndicate contracts. It's ok.

There is more than enough content and events for me free to play now (I've counted 8 events just for this 24 hr cycle plus Waves)

...so my only issue is I don't have enough time to do them, because of all the older loops.

Can you please archive more loops in IA and/or speed up the progression of the older ones? 🙏😃

[civic pasture]

yeah i agree there is enough stuff to do now that eliminating some older loops with IA is good idea before even adding more loops

[bold rain]

Dont bother, nobody is reading this, nobody can change anything, this store with minigame belongs to the shareholders, you are only cattle.

Yes. This was a good event

[next vortex]

Would be nice to go back and see event completions through the month for your pass overflow pts. Somehow I'm missing 6k and can mess up but most likely calling bs on this

[alpine fable]

If you tell support about it, they will redirect you to the store and tell you to buy the points, while telling you you missed a milestone or two 2 weeks ago with zero method of confirming it for yourself.

[hardy knoll]

I personally have loved this month's calendar. Events that can be finished quickly and easily so that I can spend time doing things I WANT to do instead of things I HAVE to do to finish events.

[sand geyser]

“Let’s see what list of great events we have this afternoon. Transogen mining. And that’s it. Cool.”

[jolly gate]

Were they bringing back the Ferangi store for a week too?

[queen kindle]

Ferengi store is over. If you have excess credits, I'd file a ticket with CS and see if they can manually exchange them.

[chrome hinge]

Incursions are when players get a seven day shield move to a low level system and hibernate, players don’t mine or do events to save points for their server. Incursions stop game play and hinder growth….Until scopely designates a server where all who wish to participate in incursions can move to a designated server Incursions will continue to hinder game play….Designate an Incursions server for players to move to for the duration of the incursions, and allow those who don’t wish to participate in incursions to continue to play unhindered.

[honest sand]

No more Arena’s for me, the mechanic is totally broken. Matches are so one sided it’s almost impossible now. I hadn’t had the time for the last 3 or 4 weeks I had some time tonight to try again.

3 matches, 3 complete utter losses and I don’t mean by a little bit or it was close it was absolute destruction.

[gaunt wraith]

I haven't played them in about 2 months and it's the best decision I've made. They haven't shown any inclination to fix them and they only get worse.

[limber stream]

There's always a day off between events. New mini event starts tomorrow. They put out a schedule. It's posted here and in-game.

[full marsh]

All the normal casual players have quit arenas because pvp is so unbalanced it's just big pvp spenders or ops farming the weaker. You can only eat the guppies so long before there are no more

[warm kestrel]

was there event currency I should have spent before the battle pass ended? It was so bad this month I didn't pay attention

[molten marlin]

The ferengi battlepass currency needed to be spent before it ended, if you have any extra, support may be able toe exchange it for you

[warm kestrel]

oh, I think i did finish that one. I know I got the broken rods for the main battle pass. bummer, I'll give support a try, tks

[pseudo compass]

The star trek day event... You get 100 points per day. It runs for 13 days. You need 1104 points to max it.... So 11 days, plus FOUR points... So basically you need 1200 points to max it.

But why 1104 points? Nobody realised how that will feel for those who due to to life only scores 1100 points?

Scopely really want us to quit...

[cedar moss]

Who had the bright idea of putting sentries into the new token systems? Yes, I know you can bug them out but irrelevent. Send miner to high level token system, get called afk, come back and ship dead, token wasted. So infuriating.

[heady glacier]

I’ll make my comeback in meta later today 🥷🏻

[delicate pebble]

Can we get the mastery artifacts added to scoring for the Limited Time Artifact SLB events?

[hollow lichen]

that would be too logical, when they add in new stuff old events (even when not so old as this new daily event loop) they just completely forget to keep things updated

[inland goblet]

<@&509690795536941056>

One of my alliance members didn’t receive any points in the Artifact Upgrade event. And do you know what support told him?
"Please note that everything is working as intended, since these artifacts were released recently and are not included in the current scoring system."

Are you frigging kidding me?!
Would it really kill you to actually write this in the event description?!

[proven sparrow]

at least you did 69 researches or building upgrades 😂

[molten ridge]

Y’all are so tone deaf.

[high aurora]

You can’t even let us try and “enjoy” incursions without monetizing events… Keep pouring gas on the fire next to your house and see what happens….

[vague spear]

Not like you guys have enough to deal with, but it would be nice to see some diminishing returns in hitting weaker players in a PvP event. Like an ops 70 would get less for hitting ops 50 than for hitting a 55, a 60 and so on.

[devout pagoda]

<@&509690795536941056> After your GM's latest apology video this kind of flat out cash grab event that requires us to spend 300€/$ to complete is an insult

[nimble oak]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm in a level 19 system and had a shield up, and My base still got hit?

[faint sierra]

<@&509690795536941056> an example of items we continue to see in game. The Star Trek Day SMS event, I can either get 100 points a day or nothing. However the event has milestones that are not divisible by 100. Someone went through the effort of creating 92; 184; 276; 368 etc., milestones, but I can only score 100; 200; 300; 400; etc.

[delicate pebble]

yea, this was weird for sure. not sure what the though process was on this

[tacit zephyr]

That video really hasn't been for all the average players, it's been aimed directly at the whales and shareholders. Since from what I understand, there's been a flight of whales, who are simply stopping playing this game.

[ivory violet]

Just let any ship score in the pvp SMS. It is crap that the other server can send gs-31 and no points get scored.

[untold zephyr]

great balance of events.

[crystal goblet]

Next time you guys release an apology where you guys kidnap some guy off the street and hold him hostage to say “we’re sorry and we’ll make it all better for you guys” maybe just include that you will be adding paid events that just show your greed

I understand, you are a business. but i think 70 different things you can buy is probably enough and making events pay to participate will make nobody play them. hope your superiors see this failure of trying to keep people hooked on your game and fire you and i hope they demand paid reparations for all the people you turned away so you also go onto the streets

[rose ice]

Incursions on a Tuesday is boring. Where half our server is shielded up while at work unable to participate, and can't find juicy targets because apparently the rival server has the same deal

It was boring last month- even before the tsunami peace shield. And it's boring today too

While upsetting to some, I don't fault STFC for trying things. That doesn't upset me

But if it persists with one of our favorite events turning into a yawner ... That'd be sad

[floral orchid]

h0w d u sc0re in the star trek day sms?

[limber stream]

So the servers on a bye don’t even get a comp chest? Nothing?

[limber stream]

I've seen this suggestion at the end of every event. No one every says, what they exchenge them for. Can someone who has done it, say what the outcome was. thanks

[jolly hound]

Can I start a poll? Which events does the community like more!?
"Syndicate Trash" or "Retrieving..."

[elder spade]

[true needle]

Can we bring Back the Wandering Trader Event AND store?
It helps ppl progress into your G6 Cash cow Bracket

[jaunty nacelle]

So you guys are so out of touch that you’re launching a new “Labor day “ event that is heroic … based on spending tokens… that I’m betting we have to buy… have you learned nothing from the last few months and the introduction of these pay to play events? Guess we need to see more alliances just up and quit before you get it through your sculls that the gouging is doing nothing but solidifying the sad downfall of this game.

[plucky flare]

Out of touch is an understatement

[woven kettle]

I’m sure you guys are feeling like you just can’t win right now. But… brace yourselves… maybe you deserve that feeling. Pay event after pay event on top of all the crud going on, and now even more. This whole thing has pay written all over it, heroic sms, new offers ($$$) every day, a launch special offer (!!!), pay to win by buying tokens….. and then a casual after thought, a single line in all this, “oh but you f2p will get a drip each day.”

Maybe in prior times this would have been ok or less egregious but with the current state of things (context is key), man, I’m just sick and tired of y’all and your nonsense. Can’t play a dang day without having new heroic after new heroic for new packs shoved in our face. So all you’re really demonstrating is how flipping desperate you are to sell sell sell, not actually make engaging or interesting content.

[turbid hamlet]

Shutting off Territory Captures during Incursions? And no more specific Defense/Offense. That used to help funnel players to specific areas at a time that would allow for more engagement. Now everyone is spread out having to search even more, wasting more time.

[floral orchid]

ive been d0ing that, and still n0thing

[queen kindle]

They ask the player what they wanted from the store, and remove currency from player's inventory and give them those things. The outcome is extremely successful.

[high aurora]

You will get it when you claim the last milestone.

[errant jetty]

Huge request for us folk who can't afford to BUY the Serene Squall... Allow us players to get Rare or Epic Wrath Credits with what we have. At 39, I'll never get this ship, nor the ability to get another Drydock.

[queen kindle]

The SS isn't linked to the augment loop(where you get the drydockG). The augment loop's ship is the Reliant, and you can get it f2p from the faction store.

[errant jetty]

Of which is requiring the Refined Common Transogen. This conversion rate is a ratio of only getting 4, maybe 6 per day. I will end up being lvl 41 before I'm able to even get close to having enough to even get half way up the Shard tree for that ship

and... you need the Squall to attain those rare and Epic credits. All other ships, especially the ones I have, don't last a second in those Systems

[civic pasture]

you get the free drydock from your station research tree at ops 39. it the first few spots.

[exotic owl]

the trick to having a miner survive in Hoskk and the like is to have two ships go in right after the other (like 10 seconds apart). The Suliban obliterates the second and leaves the first alone

[floral orchid]

u sh0uld be able t0 get 2 shards per day in the trans0gen refinery

[limber stream]

thank you. how far back do they go? I thought I had 20K token left but actually I have 400. I'm not going to bother with that one. The 20K was from the previous Ferengi pass in early August. Will they still help me?

[limber stream]

They have been giving us a free daily claim of Squall BP's every day for the last month. Just for mining the minimum for events. I do it in my other miners. Plus they gave us codes to get a few more. (search for free codes in the help channel) I'm up to 70 BP's I got completely free. And I'm sure I missed a few claims.

[queen kindle]

The augment loop has nothing to do with transogen. The loop, in its entirety, came out before transogen was a feature in this game. Fueling the loop starts with collecting common splicers, farmed from the elite augment space (Letoria). That is refined, and starts you on the way toward the Reliant. You can build that up and use it to collect rare splicers, and exchange those for rare wrath credits.

If you need an easy way to collect common splicers and jump start your loop progress, then steal it from opc relis that are autofarming. You don't need more than 10m to unlock the reli so I wouldn't get greedy, the heat isn't worth it.

[queen kindle]

No, but they probably do have a cutoff. I wouldn't wait around before sending in the ticket.

[subtle jasper]

You can grind rare, epic without the reliant, just have to have a big enough ship. My G5 epic did the job and I now have the extra drydock. Looks like you'll need to wait until your higher ops though

[amber wyvern]

Making an event that scored either based on what ship you won against or your opponents ship you loose to us bad design because I cannot control who hits me.

What the incentives leads to is less people doing the event. NOT encouraging similar level people hitting each other.

This was another short term decision that had bad long term outcomes.

[terse lodge]

yeah I've mentioned this before. it should be get points for anyone above you for a loss. but that would be improving the game for the players. and that's not what scoply seems to be about. just like adding transigen to the mining events, or expanding exborg to higher than level 60. <@&509690795536941056> it's not like the big spenders are quitting in droves lately...so why change anything...oh wait...

[sleek mist]

I'm trying to. I received a response to my ticket asking for a screenshot of the credits I have left but I can't find them in any of my inventory tabs. Do you see yours? If so, which tab?

I am asking to exchange for what I would have spent the tokens on had I known; dolamide particles and prime orbit medallions

[oblique ridge]

<@&509690795536941056> We’ve got alliances from the other server joining Takeovers on our server and alliances are losing Territory. Please pull the plug on Incursions and reinstate TC to its pre-Incursions state.

So there’s this and the lack of PvP exocomps in the Consumable store. What else got changed that we haven’t even realised?

[quaint parrot]

In any MMO game this is called "gameplay"

[vagrant topaz]

So what can you do in incursions when 2-3 end game players open their bases deliberately to lose the incursion?

[placid onyx]

Lose

[quaint parrot]

if they are not in a fake alliance you can mark it and play with them. Otherwise, you can do nothing: the game doesn't allow us to solve this problem.

[heady glacier]

The server needs to unite against said players. Despite any beefs they have with each other, they need to find common ground and focus on those players relentlessly. Keep their rss on dash to 0

[vagrant topaz]

Yeah good ideas . I think we need to do that

[crystal goblet]

we could really use a votekick feature to time people out if they are crazies. probably something like 2 weeks

[heady glacier]

That’s an idea. There would have to be a way to transfer that player to another server. But must be careful it isn’t abused by some to intentionally transfer. Vote them out that is

[arctic magnet]

Just an idea, how about a countdown starting 24 hours before incursion begins.

[crystal goblet]

I mean send them to like an isolated space with anonymized usernames and can do anything except engage in pvp.

[main tendon]

How many Alliance Tournaments and the store is still a buggy mess? Absolute state of this game

[wheat pasture]

Sigh...the research speed bonus exocomp for winning the Incursion was placed in the first Incursion Exocomp slot, overwriting the other incursion exocomp that was already running there.

There are alliance-wide exocomp slots. C'mon, Scopely, this is just stupid and petty. It may have only been another 45 minutes, but that hostile loot bonus can be quite useful for some folks.

[coral bane]

Retrieving….

[marsh pond]

yes it counted, just moved the tech to the talios and did the armadas only with that ship, but is really annoying to have to move the tech for each stupid task, as that ship is not meant to have that tech either, seems just another back move to make us spend resources

[odd yew]

Please explain how "Buy Packs" is a Labor Day themed event.

[alpine flume]

I’ve noticed if you don’t claim your rewards the incursion exo doesn’t get activated till you claim the event rewards I guess if you have one started don’t claim events rewards until that is over. Stupid but a way to avoid loosing one over the other.

[shut geode]

Finding fun and possible tasks for G6 players is extremely difficult 😡

[viscid thorn]

do the materials one then?....so easy to do 10k tasks as G6

[shut geode]

not really ..

[oblique ridge]

It’s never been possible to join a takeover on another server. It’s an error and needs to be fixed. Incidentally, my alliance wasn’t impacted but this isn’t right.

[queen kindle]

The G6 mats ones should be very easy since the choice reward tokens in the event store work. It only takes 2x max pulls of crystal, or 3x max pulls of ore/gas to do the task.

[quaint parrot]

This happened every time, in the past, when Incursion has been runned: probably you had not a takeover on Friday or Saturday. It is a secondary incursion mechanics such as attack ships waiting for armada countdown or while they are exping.

It is not a bug such as the impossibility of doing Q's hostiles on enemy server.

[ashen notch]

Was unable to claim the Depot Pass rewards earlier, or I should say I could "claim" them but they wouldn't actually claim. Now the pass was reset showing ive earned zero points, but I've already completed todays event. Will the points be credited back?

Alliance Tournaments are about how well alliance management is able to educate members on using the various loopholey ways to do tasks for 10k without spending money. A redesign would be nice in theory but nobody expects Scopely to do any better anytime soon if ever. 🤷

[keen egret]

Because they never bothered to fix bugs that were known since game launch. They put band-aids on them. Now they have code that's like a plate of spaghetti and kept building on top of it. If they fix one of those old bugs it will create 50 new bugs.

Part of it has to do with modern programming and the MBA mindset. Most software companies would rather release their products 2 weeks earlier rather than put the effort into how decisions will impact the future or for things to be easier to make changes to later on.

A good example of this can be seen in how territory works. Originally it wasn't possible to see territory systems your alliance owned unless you had a ship in that system. Players complained and Scopely made it possible to view those systems without having a ship there. But it's obvious the way they did it was a bad hack. That's why the game resets you to galaxy view when you're viewing one of your alliance's territories and collect an event, or make changes to a ship. Basically the game is hard-coded to not allow you to see those systems, but they went with the quick and easy option in order to allow us to view those systems without a ship present.

A smart company would have created a team to rewrite the old code after making a billion dollars. But we're talking about Scopely. In their minds the players were throwing money at them left and right, so obviously bugs are never going to be a problem, right?

[odd dock]

smart and scopely are 2 words that will never meet 😂

[ruby skiff]

The incursion does not do as well on a Tuesday as it does on a Friday or Saturday. It is not fun when nobody shows up for it. A lot of people work on Tuesdays and do not have time for it. I love all of the events but TUESDAY for Incursion does not have the fun factor in it.

[steel burrow]

The descriptions of tasks for the alliance tournament are misleading and vague, resulting in wasted directives, alliance task opportunities and creating HIGH LEVEL FRUSTRATION. If the tech specified in the description needs to be in the most powerful ship then state that. This might cause less people to quit…

[bronze holly]

Flashpoints is my favorite event because it opens up more mining nodes on my server when players quit

[idle parcel]

Scopely - "What shall we do during the interim week?

I know! FlushPoint! The thing that people hate and drives players away!

Great idea!

We don't listen to players anyway!"

[delicate pebble]

Hey team, I'm really hoping the Ferengi event store does not replace the end of arc event store. At this time, the Ferengi events dont provide enough currency and the event store does not have everything that the traditional end of arc store carried. This would be a big downgrade for no discernable reason. If you want to to both, that's great. The end of arc event stores this year have been consistently great and very helpful for speeding up progres and catching up on loops. It would be really disappointing to lose it, especially after the GM's apology earlier this month.

[idle parcel]

It looks like the FlushPoint exchange went from guaranteed rare directives to chance again. Also, while you lowered the number of points needed to complete the dropship event, the number of ships we have to kill to get a chance for a rare invading entity directive is still ridiculously high. I don't know how many times we have to say it, but we don't want to spend hours grinding, and for a chance? You're taking the Mickey.

[civic warren]

@idle parcel There still is a garantee you get at least 100 rare credits. for me its the amounts needed for a single chest pull let alone to max pull this. for me this is still a 100% skip any attempt scopely makes to push this bull.... on to their players. cost of the pulls must be lower. Doing 4 trips with a tribune and losing it compleetly just to make it to the single chest pull. i'm not gonna spend 80 minuts in a single grind for anything.

[azure gazelle]

Why haven't you fixed the [enter a very angry word here] FlashPoint events? It's one of the events, that enraged the players in my alliance MOST - but the requirements for the milestones are still ridiculous! And, NO, I will NOT spend the HARD-EARNED rare refined trans to have a stronger ship for a short time.

And your GM sends a message "Oh, we are SOOO sorry, we will change and listen to you..." NO, you do NOT listen!

I should quit, you don't give me joy and relaxation from my job, you give me more frustration.

[civic sphinx]

Really again Flashpoint -.-. Honestly its the most boring event ever and just to much of a grind. Please stop it, no one wants it or likes it in my alliance. What happened to events before G4 +? Those events where actually fun, like you could win a skin or something. This is just rubbish

[mental relic]

Scopely: we are pausing Flashpoint because you all hate it.

Players: yay! That was terrible.

Scopely: I know!! let's run Flashpoint right after we said we weren't!

[visual furnace]

I think they implied they were stopping it from September and still doing the plan Ed runs this month.

Though I agree it's trash

[mental relic]

They need to stop implying and just give us actual information as to what they plan on doing to keep playing (spending)

[visual furnace]

They need to do it with a whole load of stuff when they will fix things, when they plan to update stuff the lot. Even keeping us informed better when things are not working keeping us updated even when they have nothing to say just so we know stuff is happening

[heavy ivy]

Flashpoints go on pause after the current run. This was confirmed last time it ran that we would get it one more time as it was already scheduled for the two runs when they made the announcement they were pausing it. They took out the biggest SLB for getting points for the store tho when they did the last revamp. My real question is with this 1 month extension of the event store for it, what about the armada's, we are either going to get stuck with armada tokens or the currency from the armadas.... There is nothing more annoying than being stuck with things you can never use, like the stuff from the galaxy quest event that we get once every blue moon now.

[idle parcel]

I don't see a guaranteed 100, but I agree 💯. It is a lot of grinding needed, way too much, just for one pull. They clearly haven't learned or don't care, despite the video.

I was looking strictly in the reward area and didn't see anything guaranteed. It's crazy though. If you get a guarantee of just 1 rare per 24 hrs, there's no way to complete the event in a few days. This is poorly made and meant to get us to spend in order to get enough directives.

[wheat shale]

Sooo all the officers that only work for flashpont invasions will be useless? They at least should change it to invading entities.

[silk hill]

Perhaps you should read more closely, or at all.

#💬-events-feedback message

[viscid thorn]

@full swan does your announcememt mean these are the last flashpoint events? Last time i spent all my credits and stopped saving for the fleet preset, because of the manager video. he said there will be no more Flash Point Events. Could you guys just get the communication right? So done with this unclear stuff.

[molten marlin]

This is the last of the flashpoint events for the forseeable future until they rework the event

that's why the store is open for a month so you can spend everything

[errant jetty]

Someone tell me... WHY isn't the Horizon included in these BP events?

[lime solar]

Correct. GM Connor said the Flashpoint stuff is being stopped in September. They kinda need time to build the replacement arc, unless you just want the AI bots to do it all ...

[nimble oak]

The horizon is a common ship players can get for free just by doing research. events are centered around specialty or paid for ships, in an effort to get players to buy the ship packs in the store to participate.

[potent trail]

Too EZ to get the horizon. Scopely wants you to pay, so they include the ships that arent easily sourced. I have 3000 horizon blueprints.

[stark warren]

They did a good job fixing the milestones for Hurak Invasions. I hope they don’t take this away too long after making it much more enjoyable. The corresponding event store is very nice and I don’t want to see it go away. Many players in my alliance are hoping that Chimera will come back also.

[wheat pasture]

There are countless legit complaints about this game, but this... ain't one of them.

As Cand1e said, choice rewards means any 6* material task is essentially free for G6 players.

If you're syndicate 55+, the "Acquire 225k syndicate xp" task is free once a day.

"Acquire 6000 uncommon xB credits" is free several times each tournament, depending on how many opportunity chips you've saved up.

"Acquire 15k Temporal Disruptors" is free multiple times, depending on how many Temporal artifact shards you've saved up.

If you can upgrade your Command Center at all, each level is a free "Acquire 1500 uncommon FC skill points".

That's off the top of my head, and all of those awards 10k points, 4400 store credits, and 12 additional rerolls.

There are also multiple armada-related 10k tasks in the bucket #2 slots. They don't award the rerolls or as many store credits, but they're still 10k points for your alliance.

Basically, ATs are easy mode one you hit G5, as long as you do any amount of prep in between events.

[forest crown]

I understand scopely is going to take a step back from the flashpoint stuff, but surprised they made a choice to run another event that requires grinding over 120 hostiles to complete a standard sms. I get that Conor said September, but that was a really bad choice.

[austere bay]

Getting 15 x 10k without spending is doable mid g4, becomes easy in g5 and becomes trivial in g6

[amber wyvern]

It's annoying that officer xp does NOT count for this event.

[idle parcel]

Here's almost everything wrong with the FlushPoint event. For science, I hit over 100 hostiles, and that only got me 1/3 of the way to get another pull. I have 100 rare directives, enough for 1 rare invading entity. There's only a 15% chance I'll get an epic one. So, I have to hit over 300 hostiles to get enough for one chest pull. It's good for one a day, and I'm still 3 short to complete the Invading Entity event. That means, I have to kill over 900 hostiles in a few days to get enough rares to complete the event. That's provided my "chance" is 💩 and only get the 1 rare each time. This is absolute insanity. You're out of your flipping minds, Scopely, if you think people want to kill 900 hostiles just to maybe complete an event. I say maybe because given the limited time left on it, there's the possibility the timing isn't going to work. That's only because I had 2 rares and an epic from last time somehow. If I didn't have the epic and enough for 1 pull that got me a measly 100 directives, I would be nowhere close to being able to complete the event. This is one of the many reasons why people despise this event, and you throw it in our face and give it to us 1 more time. The fact that the systems have been empty on my server shows how many are actually doing the event, virtually none.

[gloomy rain]

Considering the recurring mining events: Are we ever going to get more transogen mining space tokens?

[molten marlin]

you get one every 5 levels in the building and then a once a week at 45

[dark jewel]

This should be labeled a heroic or $pend event. The only way to get directives is to pull chests in the store, and that is random. In addition, the threshold to get a pull is very high. So the only way to complete this event is $copley $pend.

[stark warren]

How far down are you punching? I’m ops 60 and I have 1.3b loot for that exchange. I’ve never hit a drop ship below my ops level, never killed 900 of them, and finished the SMS in one run and 10 minutes.

[pulsar hatch]

What is your crew you are using and what ship? Also what ft and ct is on the ship? Thanks. Plus, show a screenshot of your milestones please?

[wind sail]

@full swan hello, the players of my alliance and me have the problem that we got no new refresh token for alliance tournament this time (since the beginning of this tournament). So it's quite difficult getting a good tournament task, because nobody is able to refresh anymore, except the players who got some token from the last tournament left. I think it's not just a problem of our server 405. Don't know if anybody already reported it. Would be great if you could help us out 🙂

[molten marlin]

dm me your playerID, i'll add it to the list

[stark warren]

So 30 kills at my ops level to complete the SMS. One run in the 64 system nets me 40m of the Targ loot before the hazard gets me.

[pulsar hatch]

What crew are you using?

[stark warren]

I recommend SNW Pike/Sam/Scotty

[pulsar hatch]

Appreciate the reply, which Scotty are you using?

[sinful heart]

Oh you mean the one you had to pay to get? That is not very helpful. Not for the larger player base.

And I am a beefy ops 62 (like waygu beefy) and 64’s kill my ships PDQ, and I get like maybe 6 62’s. So yeah no. The flash point stuff is over tuned and under rewarded for anyone but the folks with more time and money than your average bear.

Just do the bare minimum and refine as able.

The game isn’t going to be around long enough to spend anymore anyway 🤷‍♂️

[boreal coyote]

I think that / this is part of the problem. Scopley doesn’t understand why for some it’s easy and for some it’s insanely hard. They made the game so complicated they can’t be trusted to plan level appropriate milestones.

[stark warren]

I took out 9 66s and 3 64s before the hazard got me. I didn’t invest monetarily into Scotty at all. Unless buying the battle pass every month is considered. I agree with Kanetu’s statement.

[sinful heart]

You will pardon me if I call bs to that. As my Rot is only 3.4 whereas yours is sitting pretty at 4.0 AND you have Scotty?! You’ve spent on more than just the bp. 😉 (and I have access to more research than you, and it’s done, so yeah no)

[boreal coyote]

Pretty yoked rot 💪, Gratz

[stark warren]

Thanks buddy! I’m willing to help anyone with crewing/research that can improve your game. Shoot me a PM. I like this game and I do not want to see it disappear. To quote Henry Ford: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.”

[pulsar hatch]

Ok, I was wondering how an ops 60 was doing this and now I see your ops 62, big difference.

[hard sentinel]

@sinful heart unfortunately MrJustin showed us who scopes designed these events for. I'm a well leveled ftp 61 with level locked research and my max Ent D is still 1bil under that p2p Rotty. My scotty is even t2 as a ftp and I can't duplicate his numbers even on 60s or even 62s. This is the account that scopes set the bar at for the base g6 events and that is the whole problem.

[sinful heart]

He IS ops 60, *I” am ops 62.

And he does it because he has access to stuff you (and I) do not have.

[pulsar hatch]

How does an ops 60 get to the 66’s?

[hard sentinel]

Disco range research. Prime particles are in tourney store

[sinful heart]

Just so you have an idea, where I am at on my 62 progression. The research is 95% level maxed, except for some of the only pay primes. I stopped “spending” after Christmas’22 when things went down hill the first time. (I was ops 49 then). Been “coasting” since with a BP here and there after the choice rewards came out. I haven’t even done that since March? So yeah…for a mostly Dolphin turned f2p I am stout. And I find both flash point and the WoK crap over tuned and under rewarded for my time and efforts. (The FT’s are at lvl 49, and the CT’s are maxed, the Ent D has maxed armor upgrades)

[stark warren]

I can help you get stronger. Something has been overlooked. You can go on screaming into the void about how much of a spender I must be or we can get to work.

[gloomy rain]

Ah, it’s the building level, not ops level. How did I miss that

[dark jewel]

@pulsar hatch I have a t5 velox at ops 66. Ops 66 in this Arc. I can kill 64s but 1 or 2 66. The number of hulls of 64s is too much and I don't might get enough loot for 1 pull. What crew are you using?

[heavy ivy]

it's not a pay only event, you can easily get 15 rare solo's from daily pulls. The bigger issue is the amount of grinding the higher ops you are to be able to do those pulls. High 60's need way too many of the hostile resources to be able to do the triple pulls (you are guaranteed at least 100 of the rare directives per chest pull now with a chance for higher and for epic)

[dark jewel]

Is that guaranteed new? Because I remember one time I pulled it and I got no directives. I've got enough grinds to do already. I don't need more. It should be a reasonable grind.

[heavy ivy]

yeah they changed it now, its 100% to get rare but then that breaks down into 85% for 100 and 15% for 200 I believe, the chance for epic is the same as it was before. The grind to get them is definately broken tho

So getting rid of the interim events that give us the ability to buy shields? This is not a good move if this is the case...

[idle parcel]

I'm 64 and have been hitting 56/58s. The 60s, I can only get a few of, and my research is pretty good. I'm a newer 64 and strictly f2p. The 900 would be for the exchange needed to open a few chests to get the directives.

[idle parcel]

Easily get 15? How? You seem to be the only one getting that many. I opened one and only got 1 and no epics. The point is that many of us aren't willing to spend all day hitting reds to only get one a day. I'm not spending any more time on that horrid event.

[heavy ivy]

You missed the key point on the comment. You can triple pull each day on a 5 day event. You are guaranteed at least 1 per pull so 3 on a triple = 15 in the 5 days min. The issue is the amount of grinding of hostiles to be able to do a triple pull. I was trying to explain how it isnt a pay only event and can be done f2p. There is a huge issue tho and that is the amount of time required to grind to be able to do those pulls. I have a number of friends high 60's that spend forever grinding to be able to do just 1 pull a day. Was just trying to explain why it isnt really heroic, but at the same time pointing out to scopes the pull amount is too high for the chest pulls.

[peak bloom]

@full swan <@&509691205798592532>

[pulsar hatch]

Crew I’m using is SNW pike, snw gg, snw pelia. But I’m hitting 58 and 60’s. Tried hitting 62’s, get destroyed.

[copper shadow]

I'm more kinda wondering why we need like 6 battle passes every month without including wave defense or tc season pass like where does it end losing whales so less full packs being sold so let's 10x the battle passes sold seriously lol

[peak bloom]

I'm all for more packs that cost less than $99.99 and have F2P tracks, actually. It's all optional, so IDK where your frustration stems from, tbh.

[sacred sail]

Nobody wants to get to work while you are not honest. A 4.1B rota at ops 60 is not battlepass only. Period. Even revs rota before IA reset was at 3.9B and his account is on way over 200+euros per month and camps. I don't get why you spend money and telling people the opposite, while it is obvious

[solemn tide]

The cost of 1 chest for the flashpoint event for me is 9.56M... i'm only an ops 63 and it takes literally way too much grinding. I can hit 58's with no problem, but 60's i can only hit a few. You all need to change something. People don't have all day to play this game. Most of us can only afford to play a small amount of time.

[solemn tide]

how the heck do you get a rot at 4.1B at ops 60? that's got to be purchasing primes left and right

[idle parcel]

I didn't miss the point. It's a crazy grind just for one pull a day, let alone triple. No one in their right mind should have to grind that much for an event. It isn't even realistic to do that.

[twin knoll]

Twice I have started this task hit the confirm button and spent around 8k rare ex-bord credits on it only to find when I come to collect the task it has not registered to say I am annoyed is an understatement please explain why I should do your tournements if I am unable to get them to work?

[idle parcel]

I tried using my best loot crew for FlushPoint, and I got 66 hostiles and roughly 3m per load including the ship pulls. That still makes it over 3 trips and around 200 reds just for one exchange pull. That's insane.

[queen kindle]

What level are you, and what level hostiles are you hitting?

[novel patio]

I'm ops 64, hitting lvl 62 Huraks with Ent D. I need 2 hulls to get 1 pull chest (about 10m needed, I get about 5,5m per hull)

This is the crew I use...
Plus I switch on all the anti-hostile skills on FC.

[static patio]

This game needs a simplification reset. And, it needs a screen that shows the math for your bonuses, before and after whatever upgrade ro research/buildings you make. It's very, very tough to do research in the most effective way, because the impact is blind to the player. Even the power level addition is skewed so badly you don't really know which researches impact you more than others.

[stark warren]

I was hoping to have a positive discourse but since we are past that I will point to the obvious. Justifying one’s own ineptitude by screaming from the heavens that I surely purchased countless primes isn’t going to solve your problems in this game. I’ve helped multiple FTP gamers in my alliance achieve similar results. The longer you insist that my gains have to be purchased the further and further behind you will become.

[sacred sail]

Stop that nonsense. I am a Battlepass spender ops 67 in a top 1 alliance on my server. A 4.1B rota is no way close to a battlepass only spender at ops 60. We are not stupid.

[static patio]

I'm sure you have the F2P magic bullets to make it doable, as you state...but that's not really the point, is it? The game's goal s/b to make your magic bullets intuitively easy to recognize for any player, and then achievable for the F2P with some reasonable time and work. It shouldn't be this hard to figure it out for 2-5 year players. And thanks for offering the help, much appreciated.
