[native basalt]

whats the point of bashing scopely, this is what they do all the time and people expect them to do that benefits the players thats the joke but no ones laughing

[true tulip]

They made decent correction to V event last week, they got some of my €.
Current event proves they choked with income, so it makes me buy better whisky 🥃😂

[grave charm]

Bugs have not been fixed for years, long-time players are being taken for a ride, it's time to rage quit the game 🤬

[high aurora]

Current event proves they tried to lure people in last week and now they are jacking milestones up and reducing scoring in hopes of preying on sunk cost fallacy. Jokes on them, the tap is closed as long as these changes are kept.

[true tulip]

Agreed.

[ashen notch]

<@&509690795536941056> The Vengeance SMS has been "fixed", but the fix is still abysmal. 166K UC G6 mats or 83k rare G6 mats is still an outrageous expectation for just one milestone. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the event costs to reward payouts has become absolutely horrible. If you want players to put time, money, and effort into your game, you need to start making progression actually achievable and worthwhile. Not asking of instant gratification, but lately anything worth doing requires literal years to complete without money spent (and far too much money for far to little reward). That is completely unacceptable to me (and I would hope many other players).

[cerulean fractal]

"Thank you for you patience and understanding as we ensured the event aligned with the intended design...

The intended design:

[true tulip]

We have week off. What’s not too like 😂 any recommendations for binge watch?

[ashen notch]

LOL, actually, just watched Ozark. Great show I shouldn't have passed up when it came out.

[cerulean fractal]

Watched through Defiance the other week, pretty decent overall

[ashen notch]

There are also several Star Trek Series out there. And get this, they don't cost you $100 per episode to watch... at least not until Scopely gets broadcast rights...

[faint sierra]

The more broke the event, the more for bourbon 🙂

[true tulip]

My liver hates Scoply 😂

[sharp flame]

Yes without a drink this pain i can see anymore

<@&509690795536941056> and pls Tell the guys who change all what is ok into all ist ok if you are a Wale.

It cant be that the vengeance Milestone Event from Event to Event need 10 Times more mats.... also if you go down to 1,9 Mio at least it isnt passable again as dolphin get 1 Milestone ..... 160k uncommen g6 for 50 parts..... no thanks then i will save my Cash Till them change it back!!!!

[stiff sierra]

So I went to run my Q trials for the event and guess where it was located? In a Surge system that is locked behind a token that I don’t have and wouldn’t spend even if I did. Cmon Scopely. You should have exempted these areas from Q trials.

[visual robin]

So Jinnia is out of Question then 😛

[dense lynx]

the event payouts in this game are literally the equivalent of management buy you pizza for tripling business and profits.

[small rover]

Oy vey with Trial spawn randomness, lol.

[visual robin]

Trials always spawn 2 systems away. So there is that.

[meager herald]

The new vengeance event they have made the requirements per reward 1/5th what they were but the points for g6 rare are 1/20th what they were

[ashen notch]

Just the latest change in the long list of 2025 changes which are unfavorable to the players.

[warped grove]

it's great that the BP events are aligned but why such a disparity in how many points are needed for each?

[meager herald]

Luckily I just got mine in last event but will make tiering it up really difficult

[alpine widget]

Throwing AT as the BP event on Sunday, then again today just Is. Not. Cool.

[short orchid]

Well certainly not getting the vengeance any time soon given its entirely pay to play now

[brisk bough]

This iteration of the Vengeance BPs sms is truly dreadful. Bring back last week's version!

[loud obsidian]

<@&509690795536941056> @near saddle Milestones Too High, Point scoring Too Low!! This is beyond rediculous!!

[high aurora]

I think the buckets for Quark’s trick or treat are a bit….messed up

[elder fern]

Just went to spend my October choice rewards but it has already disappeared from the event store. October isn’t over yet. Any chance it comes back or am I screwed?

[novel mango]

For the love of god stop with the regional events.

[hollow sage]

Forgot to spend my 300k Ferengi tokens....and they are not opening that store back 💩

[molten marlin]

contact support to have them manually exchange them

[hollow sage]

i did and they said they already did that for me few months ago...so they are not doing that again hahaha...once per account

[grave charm]

It's the same as with Vengeance SMS, the players are just being taken for a ride. But as long as enough people participate, Scopely has won.

[hollow sage]

yup bring back last week vengeance sms!!!

[grave charm]

Words fail me 🤣

[fierce belfry]

Please stop putting free daily claims in the Event Store tab. Please put them in the Gifts page.

[rough ravine]

Thank you for putting the SLB events (for 51+) back to top 50 instead of top 25. You have restored my faith in humanity.

[dusky mortar]

trick or trick event... there's no treat, just tricks.... what lousy rewards

[steel shell]

<@&509690795536941056> y'all have failed us again in providing quality game content...this Halloween battle pass is pretty worthless as the event store is even more shabby than the ferengi store (which also sucks and completely underwhelming!).

How about doing the STFC community some real justice by fixing the alliance tournaments? Also where has the mega event store gone off to? For the past 2 arcs it has been MIA and these stupid little substitute stores are not being updated with relevant content.

#disappointedaf

[proven sparrow]

Don't you think these targets are a little high for G5 players? We cant hit anything higher than level 60 due to locked systems

[meager herald]

<@&509690795536941056> The Changes to the vengeance event scoring and rewards makes it impossible to progress now so I won’t be spending any more on packs there’s just no point any more

[molten marlin]

20+ most likely

which is the level for the battlepass

[cold herald]

<@&509690795536941056> Is there any word on an extension of the Choice Rewards store please? The multiple outages combined with terrible lag and my health conditions meant I didn't get to claim in time, the store timed out as I was frantically clicking to claim but only got about 20% claimed. 😢

[mystic ember]

So is the AT relegation issue gonna get fixed? My alliance was above the relegation line and still fell, there was another alliance that relegated but got the avatar for top 3 in Master League that makes no sense either

[blissful island]

Scopley just so you know….. #BringbackSyndicateScoring!

[ashen notch]

The last version of Vengeance is Mine was actually very fair scoring wise. It wasn't too easy or too hard to score. It should've been left alone, but as usual, Scopley can't have anything out there which allows players to make reasonable progress on anything.

I haven't scored a single point in the new version, and I have no intention of doing so. I will not waste my mats on such a pointless endeavor.

[neon dragon]

Shame you haven’t put the spider HF in the trick or treat store - seems like a missed opportunity for something actually Halloween themed for those of us who missed it last year.

[quick yacht]

Anyone else feel like they need to extend the Alliance Tournament Store? Completely missed the opportunity to pull what I earned. Kinda feels a little fast. Only asking because I missed it. But also, because life events take place, and would like to have a little more grace period to claim when we spent money.

[errant wind]

I call it the Vengeance Auction ,

[worldly cedar]

You have a kill hostiles event, kill faction event. Over limit kills give no chests. Thanks a lot for thinking that one through. NOT!!!

[ember vortex]

The alliance store currency should carry over to the next tournament.

[mystic ember]

So are these officers ever going to rotate...... We were promised rotation every 3-4 months, it's been 6 months since the last rotation

[wooden kite]

If the Trek or Treat event is only available to level 20+, then why is scopely denying levels < 20 the ability to collect alliance rewards other than the Trek or Treat tokens that we can not do anything with? Not the stupidest thing I've seen scopely do, but it's right up there with the stupidest of them. I have almost 6k Trek or Treat event store tokens that I can not use for anything.

[regal plank]

Should we consider how often you forget a trade should be mutually beneficial? And how many of the deals you offer are often beneficial only to you? ( exactly why I don't engage, so you loose them)

[noble aspen]

Look at all these tokens! I’m level 14 so I have no event store in which to use them. Sure would be a happy halloween for low-ops players if we could redeem our treats!

[flint geyser]

why are the 71's in their own arena matches just like all their other events, our group lvl 60's against lvl 72's 💩

[outer dome]

Give us FC SLOT in event store

[ashen notch]

It's open for 7 days, which I think is plenty. Also, the currency will carry over to the next tournament, so you can use it then if you have to (I always save some for day 1 pulls the next tournament).

[frozen stratus]

Hey, people might buy it thinking that those 75 keys must lead to a real value! Of course, those people have never bought anything from Scopely... you never get your money's worth!

[grave charm]

Sure, I agree with you. But there are "good" packages and there are hoax packages.

[ashen notch]

Seriously, can we either update borg content to matter for the state of the current game, or just ax the Mega Cube trash?

[gray stirrup]

Imagine my surprise when many events are retrieving. Reboot didn't help.

[verbal wharf]

In fairness, this discord has been absolutely bombarded with people begging for the return of the MegaCube event to come back.

[neat crown]

Nice scopely, bunch ppl on 717 getting this bug

[ashen notch]

OK, I'm being selfish with my words. Mega Cube is still important to people G5 or lower, and likely to some G6 players. I just find it annoying that probes and spheres are absolutely meaningless to upper level players. They keep putting out mediocre (or outright awful) updates month after month, when they could be modernizing things like Borg, Cardassian, and Dominion content so that it isn't just a void of useless content to a good size portion of the player base.

[fervent meteor]

🤔 Several "retrieving" events today ...... is it a "retrieving day" celebration ? Or the witches mess up the game ? 🤣🤣🤣

[strong anchor]

could there be a common cause behind all the event launches that fail at “Retrieving”?

[verbal wharf]

That, I agree with. G6 and higher should get a different event while everyone else gets the MegaCube

[ashen notch]

I think they need to just make everything work for all level players. Lower levels are getting left out of some events, and upper levels get useless events. There has got to be a way to make everything matter for everyone.

I get that there are some Ops locked things which lowers simply can't access, as well as some content that is endgame that lower levels could never hope to complete without better ships/research, but beyond those items, events should be able to be universal.

[errant barn]

We were promised a lot of things that never happened and never will.

[neon terrace]

Like quality

[novel mango]

We don’t need events that try and force us to ops up every week. I will opps up when I am ready!

[ashen notch]

Well, not everyone is on your time table, so they should have that every week for those who are ready. Those who aren't can just wait for when they are.

[novel mango]

They can oops up anytime they want. But trying to force people up before they are ready will just cause more to quit the game. They can’t afford for people to keep quitting at the rates that is happening.

[ashen notch]

How are they forcing it? Events are optional. I'm not going to get the rewards this go around, and that's no big deal. It'll be the reverse when I'm ready to do something, I'll get rewards while others won't. The only thing they do is hope they can prey on players' FOMO. If you can ignore that, it's not a problem. the rewards aren't worth the effort to complete all milestones of the spend event anyway, so easy to pass up for me.

[novel mango]

By tying the event a to battle pass progression, they are trying to push people up. It be different if it wasn’t. As you said they are trying to pressure people with FOMO, your own statement kind of proves my point. There are other ways they are trying to doing it for example taking away certain events, choice rewards. I am the type it doesn’t work well on, if it did I be a much higher ops by now, That said I will still call out BS when I see it.

[neon terrace]

"Go for higher ops or we delete your account". Now that would force you to go higher. But I never saw them saying this.

[novel mango]

There are plenty of was to try force people to do things not one single way. You can pretend that’s the only way but you’re kidding yourself.

[terse vessel]

Nice, 2 single purpose officers one for Sulliban, one for mining isogen (which quickly becomes pointless as an officer boost) both of which have a below deck abilities. One mediocre, one alright for now once leveled up. The SMS allows for about half an unlock of each if you complete it not counting the slb. However, requiring around 300k uncommon g6 or 150k rare g6 for a g6 player to even barely finish the sms (give or take a little) seems excessive. It would be cheaper to just buy the officer packs outright when they are in the store. To do the sms is like 1k+ in packs assuming you have an even spread of material items to spend it on. The value just isnt there.

The higher the cost to participate in basic holiday sms or events, the higher the cost to access content. The less value perceived. There's no avatar associated, theres no special boosts, just a 5 to 10 times cost increase compared to the past for mediocrity.

The goal is to push G6 to veil content? Thats the incentive? Yeah, not much of one. Watching veil chat and talking to those that went up who regret not sitting at 70 longer makes that pretty clear. Thats just a hey theres not enough pvp here to keep heavy spenders who dont care either way happy. Hope folks dont fall for low quality events, overpriced payouts for sub par rewards and skip p2w content until focus is made on qol and stability. Not just its a new week drop another $k.

Happy hunting, shield or share.

[steady tiger]

Wow, I'm thrilled! A frame as a gift? They must mean a lot to you. So here's my offer again: you can buy my frame back for only 2/3 of your original price, just to cover costs.

[crystal heron]

[molten marlin]

https://tenor.com/view/not-right-silence-observing-awkward-silence-gif-12599967

[civic oak]

Is this accurate or is the season pass not scaled appropriately? 1.2 million for the low 20s??

[indigo oracle]

I simply used ship xp for vindicator lvl up from 21 to 22. 😉

[molten marlin]

level a ship

[queen kindle]

How does it compare to your OFP domination event?

[civic oak]

It's 10 times more difficult

[spark radish]

I'm not sure what G5 and under players are getting out of it... I do it because it's sort of fun, low pressure. The actual rewards are almost entirely pointless at any G, especially with how terrible Locutus is compared to new FCs. Now Hugh's in the TP list there's really nothing going for it, except... you know, silly something to do.

[civic oak]

@queen kindle Does that seem off to you? In the past, at my level range this was normally 125k, not 1.2 mil

[queen kindle]

I've already escalated it.

[civic oak]

https://tenor.com/view/wilson-dan-appreciate-about-you-letter-kenny-hick-gif-9506960

[queen kindle]

Should be easier now.

[civic oak]

That look more appropriate?

Also...return of the mega cube slb at 24 used to clump 20 - 24s together.

Was there a change to make 24s now compete in the 24 - 29 range?

[obtuse shuttle]

<@&509690795536941056> anyone notice that these HABP event stores close when the SLB event that awards store credits ends?

[noble aspen]

What possible reason could Scopely have for excluding low ops players from Halloween? Trek or Treat tokens keep piling up, but we have no store to redeem them. It's like giving out candy coupons that aren't valid anywhere.

Also this…

[regal oxide]

That’s easy, if there is anything in the reward store that $copay think a low ops player might actually pay for…..your not getting access.
Rule No 1 of STFC = If $copay think there is the slightest chance someone might pay for anything, it’s getting put behind a paywall or blocked 🤷🏻‍♂️

[outer brook]

Adding incursion consumables alongside the other incursion stores would be generous and welcome.

[keen plank]

We don’t do that here (generous) 😉

[elder fern]

Why is it that there are 3 days left in the wave defense pass and no event for it today? I did the math and thought I had just enough events left to complete it, so this leaves me short one.

[split zenith]

I haven't paid attention.

But is anyone mentioning and talking about how horrible all the Ralbs are. The payouts are utter garbage for even just normal ALBs..... For a regional it's just horrible.

[small rover]

Can we please remove FCs from any store when we get them? I just mistakenly blew my Incursion Coin on FC Lorca instead of his Skill Points 💢

[woven kettle]

Thanks for the incursion comp and two of the 3 incursion stores. Could you please add the incursion exos? Those are also usually offered during these bye months…

[gritty haven]

Why am I not getting points for losing pvp in return of the mega cube?

[jade sparrow]

This event's scoring is not working. Just tiered up 2 x survey ships and it didn't accumulate the materials I used to the scoring.

[turbid hamlet]

Cant wait to compete against EVERY SERVER ALLIANCE FOR A WHOLE 3 EPIC OFFICER SHARDS.....

[gritty haven]

Trick or treat - although open to lvl 20+ there is no way we could complete it because there were 2 events we couldn't possibly complete- this was all trick and no treat and complete misinformation about the event - it was a cruel play for spend that we wouldn't benefit from - shysters - if you advertise as you did lvl 20+ we should be able to complete it - absolutely disgusting!

It was bad enough the rewards were awful but this just added insult to injury - badly done Scopely- you should be ashamed of yourselves

[turbid hamlet]

Im starting to think the person who thinks the rewards on these All Server LBs is this guy. Because these rewards. Are ridiculous. Especially for the cost to Rank.

[left marlin]

@full swan Hey OH, hope your weekend is going well. My RL weekend is off to a good start. But unfortunately, my STFC weekend is off to a frustrating start. And that’s because whether by accident or on purpose, the Incursions Consumables Store is not active which means no Loot buff Exos. When I saw the news post on STFC Official that said Incursions Store bundles would be active, I assumed that also meant the Exos as well. Guess not. I sincerely hope this was an oversight by the devs and that we will get to use the Loot Exos before the next Arc starts. Cuz for many of your players, the Loot buff Exo is hands down, the single most important part of Incursions, for individual account progression. #FreeTheLootExos thx 👍🖖

[molten marlin]

not an oversight

[vale laurel]

<@&509690795536941056> When will these be updated to G7?

[wild pelican]

Login for 1k incursion credits. Then laugh cause that doesn't get me anything skill-wise for FC Lorca. Great job dropping the monthly thing I look forward to on this game 🤣

[astral shell]

How..what?

[jagged current]

It is patently absurd to bracket the borg pvp event from 51-70.

[mystic ember]

Incursions store without the exos is complete garbage, if y'all want me to drain my mada directives for the ALB that gives no rewards then you shoulda allowed us to get the loot exo. Total fail

[vernal fulcrum]

@full swan Comon, the only good part of Incursions, the Exos, and we don't get them? Alot of us save ALL month waiting for them, where they at?

[turbid hamlet]

Just think, if your Alliance manages to get 26-50, you'll get enough rewards to be short by 100 currency to get yourself Frequency modulators! It's Fantastic! Like seriously, who approved this to be a thing in Game Design. Fire Them.

[marble parrot]

As soon as they update the aways teams legacy reputation rewards.

25mil per day from 3x chest is an insult at ops 65.

[noble aspen]

Never let it be said that all we ever do is complain 😃

[marble parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/borg-wormhole-star-trek-picard-cube-wormhole-borg-gif-21804210

[civic oak]

I don't understand what you're asking or not understanding here?

[queen kindle]

Which two events did you find impossible?

[trail adder]

Augment echoes is too unattainable. I'm out. 450 kills at level 56 and ships repair every 8. No thanks.

[gritty haven]

There was an armada one i don't even have an acc. I forget what the other one was let me see if I can find it - curiosities of the cosmos - borg probes or eclipse hostiles- no lvl20 can do those - absolutely ridiculous - there is no way a lvl 20 could ever complete those - its absolutely ridiculous and I was stoopid enough to buy the paid pack so I'm doubly annoyed @candle this was a money grab - there is no way lvl 20's could complete this - we were always gonna be short those extra point - could never complete the bp - you set us up to fail - badly done scopely- you should be ashamed

[queen kindle]

If you see an impossible event again, try and report it early so it can be corrected. An armada event for ops 20 is pretty unreasonable, same with borg probes. Some 20s would be able to do eclipse, but some alternative scoring might be needed there. Generally, holiday events are meant to be done f2p for everyone they target so something went wrong with design if you're seeing something impossible.

[light elm]

nuqnEH QaPla' MajQa yl’El. Any ideas on this code?

[queen kindle]

It has been solved: ||pemel|| is the redeem code.

[light elm]

Damn that got censored. Oh I see

Ok so that didn't work. Are you just bsing me?

[queen kindle]

No, that's the redeem code. I'd try typing it in, 5 letters, no spaces.

[potent trail]

Worked for me. Reward was a bit underwhelming

[astral shell]

What's the code!

[astral shell]

That's not the reward. It did not work for me.

[queen kindle]

What level are you?

[astral shell]

19

[astral shell]

Why can't I redeem it?

[queen kindle]

Probably a level restriction. I've asked about it.

[junior fern]

The Aug Ex hostiles event task is an OUTRIGHT PAIN for how many are needed and how long it takes to complete.

[queen kindle]

What level are you and what's the level of the target you've chosen?

[junior fern]

Best I can do for best return is the 38 Aug Ex hostiles but need a total of 705+K for completion which takes hours. Only recently had Ops upgraded to 46 and using one of my strongest Faction ships - K'Tinga - currently with Loot crew aboard to collect Splicers. Faction Rare ships still need more upgrades yet before I can use them in place of my K'Tinga, Valdore, or U.S.S. Kelvin.

Can only do 2 or 3 lv 40 Aug Ex hostiles or a couple dozen in Gamma 400 for the Lv 38 Aug Ex hostiles.

[sick furnace]

Boring isn't it! Classic example of Scopely not know it's own game or player base

[left marlin]

#FreeTheLootExos

[civic oak]

There's a weekly event for those under 25 that includes starting armadas and I've never once beat it and it counts towards ahead of the curve so it just limits getting points on that. I know exactly which one he's talking about. I can post it when its up, it's the weekly Wednesday or Thursday one

[severe edge]

Spawning rate of Mega Cubes still 5 hours? On an event to run Mega Cubes....

[errant jetty]

Thanks for the TRICK, sNopeley.... May the results of Your All Hallowed Eve be well

[near holly]

The mega cube event store should have things we can buy with Borg Nanoprobes or Vinculum Fragments. Once the Talios is archived, these events have us grind out otherwise useless loot.

[grave charm]

they release only new content and existing events will not be adjusted... see ecl

[hollow lichen]

Thanks for nothing I guess

[idle parcel]

Starting Tuesday, the new content, made to, surprise, once again keep us on our devices longer, when we have said over and over and over and over again that we wanted LESS time, not more, on this time consuming game. Smh.

[ocean crypt]

you lot ,do know you re-introduced the mega cube event, because they are not respawning, so how are the majority supposed to do this event with the lack of respawns, yet more lack of insight from this company

[novel dagger]

You want me on for six farkin hours, you’d better be paying me, Scopely. That is nearly a full time job. What a ridiculous event.

[junior tree]

🤔

[silk hill]

how does 'be afk for 6 hrs' add u more screentime?

[tacit zephyr]

When Scopely says in their videos, "With this new event you'll be able to claim valuable rewards," I get a smell of 💩 🧻 coming from my computer screen, which is 🤮

[ocean crypt]

like every other "new" event, works only for scopley - cash grab, and always useless for the player

[idle parcel]

Always defending Scopely. You're so predictable.

[obtuse shuttle]

But haven't they already started this? Uss Dauntless autogrinds.

[hexed ridge]

It says ships auto.defend. what's missing is if they defend optimally. Explorer vs Battleship is not optimal. Then there is no armada no hostile crews

[woven tulip]

If I read notes correctly the Enemy ships that attack during the wave have triangle advantage. So if a BS spawn it would target your Explorer first

[opaque hawk]

I just wanted to thank scopely for the new outpost feature. This is the first feature in probably 2 years that I have felt 0 compulsion to spend money on. My wife and my bank account thanks you.

[fast sonnet]

It's set and forget, so....set it before you go to bed or work and forget it 👍

[stuck elk]

As far as I've been told, PEMEL was not the word derived from Quarks Klingon riddle. The Frame was from a previous event.

[novel dagger]

That is NOT what the blog says:

[glass pewter]

Solo outposts looks to be the worst designed concept since starbases. Clear this designer has NEVER played the game.

[fast sonnet]

@novel dagger

[glass pewter]

Yeah standard Scopely. 1 part of blog says set and forget the other says fight in the triangle. Inaccurate information and we all wait to see when it releases.

[plush fulcrum]

"Set and forget"...So it'll work seamlessly!!! Like other mechanics in the game that work seamlessly...Waves, Arena, issues with the Squall, Dauntless, Kir'shara etc.
Outposts will be broken on day one, Scopely will sell "solutions" to the mechanic, (but it'll still be broken).
In 3 months time, it'll be slightly less broken and that's how it'll stay.....Until in 6 months time they do yet another maintenance/ new arc for some other new broken mechanic, and Scopely break outposts completely.
You know it, l know it even Scopely know it 😀

[glass pewter]

Funny because it’s true

[fast sonnet]

That's why I don't stress new content. It never really works as described, if it works at all 😉

[raw bramble]

I usually just wait a week or 2 after new stuff comes out to actually try it. Its generally "fixed" by that point.

[novel dagger]

Yea, thats a strategy but you’ll notice they are encouraging active participation.

Pay me a sakary, Scope.

[torn jewel]

How much we're betting the IA will be ignored yet again, despite the claims it's not abandoned?

[hollow lichen]

Only thing archived will be another connor 'we really listen to you' video while also adding in a 6 hour grind 😄

[merry marten]

I am 95% confident it will not be updated this year (who knows, I've been wrong before).

[glass pewter]

Scopely said there would be more updates this year so it will 100% not be till 2026.

[vast ferry]

2028,,, I fixed it for you

[tiny saffron]

Thanks Connor...your team is truly coming thru delivering excellent content...equally exciting and rewarding as your generous comp chests 💖

[calm salmon]

Regarding my experience with the Alliance Tournament and the incorrect downgrading of the Liega.
Several tickets were not answered.
Then a ticket was answered and the Master Liega rank was restored. However, there is still an error. This rank jumps back and forth between Master Liega and Expert Liega. So sometimes Master and sometimes Expert.
After I reported this again with a ticket, the only response was, “We are aware of the problem and are working on it. Please follow up on Discord.”
What is that supposed to mean? We are being left in the lurch here and are not getting any answers or anything.

[fluid nest]

reading the patch notes I gotta say, wasn't expecting this 🙁

[brisk bough]

Obviously too many people got it the fair way.

Vengeance BPs are now in the Outpost.

so now we are really forced to spend on it if we wanna progress further than 70, great stuff scopely

Level specific?????? If the ship is going to be required for these events, then drop the level required for the ship, and provide the ship to the F2P players at no charge.

They're providing events which give blueprints from 40, not the ability to build it. Also, getting from 40-42 doesn't require any uncommon resources, so people can move to 42 from 39, pretty much as fast or slow as they choose.

[small rover]

More Reliant/Squall upgrade events, please. lol. Holding myself back for fear of missing out 🤣

[simple helm]

causality and the schematics sounds exactly how the reliant arc should have been, havent seen the actual events and content but much improved focus/concept and actual focused to appropriate ships. good improvement if the events and content make sense

[brisk bough]

Are there so few players left in the game that all Outpost events must be RLBs??? What are you thinking?

[late orchid]

Im really getting tired of you schmucks not being able to set up events and store times to reset with the rest of the daily events

[ashen notch]

Oh look, an event came out early by mistake. We have a Regional ALB to NOT look forward to.

[ocean crypt]

how insane can scopely go, how many players on each server, how many new outpost nodes on each server, how is everybody expected to conquer a outpost and hold for only 6 hrs each, there is no possible way everybody can complete this insane event because there is far too much greed and selfishness amongst far too many players in this insane game, can nobody at scopely learn how to think a simple thought or is it just complete stupidity that controls everything they ever know

[visual anchor]

Heads up…. Those regional leaderboards are about as popular as leeches on my server. If you never did another one, it would be too soon.

[fervent meteor]

Retribution BP broken.., its a total normal $copely new release event ! Lots of Lag, feature broken and a painfull game expirience !!! Well done !
<@&509690795536941056>

[glass pewter]

True Scopely planning. Launch events early, don't provide gift to build the building so you can participate in events.

[high harbor]

Why did the event store end early? Less than a day after the battle pass. Yesterday, it said one day remaining. Now, it's gone

[compact crane]

Can we get an extension on that event store

[left marlin]

@full swan Good morning. Just wanted to ask you to convey to Scopely one last time how deeply disappointed I am that Scopely intentionally withheld the Incursions Loot Exos from us this month. For many of your most dedicated and hard core players, the Loot Exos are the most valuable part of Incursions. We literally plan our entire month in anticipation of being able to use the Loot Exos. Even in past months when Incursions has been cancelled or postponed, we still had access to the Loot Exos and all the other Incursions Exos for the day that Incursions was supposed to run. So for Scopely to withhold them now, and with zero explanation, just digging a deeper hole when player sentiment is already trending way downward. Ofc this is not gonna make or break us. And yeah at some point I’ll get over it. But it’s still very disheartening. At least, the devs should be honest and tell us why. Thx 🖖 #FreeTheLootExos

[fervent meteor]

WAY TO GO $copely !! Today is being a "raise the bar" in incompetence !
Retribution BP broken.., its a total normal $copely new release event ! Lots of Lag, feature broken and a painfull game expirience !!! Well done !

[restive lotus]

I lost claiming the event store because it's impossible to sync events /store during daylight savings. All that work for nothing? Please restore. Thank you.

[keen plank]

Thank you Connor, the game is really much better now 🤮

[spark radish]

Can't even kill 60 hostiles for this event... Have to go down to 56.

[vestal cloak]

I don't understand why it says max number of armadas reached in system when there are 0 happening.

[mellow fjord]

Thought this Event couldnt get Worse but well you did the impossible and made it way worse compared to last run. Good job.

No other scoring apart from laughable points for G6/G7 and only 2 days instead of 1 week🙄

[vagrant topaz]

Looks like Scopely scopely’d again

[slender moth]

Same error

[vivid delta]

<@&509690795536941056> I’m not seeing choice rewards in the event store despite earning them from the BP. I’m level 41

[honest gust]

I do see them, Ops 68 Here

[raw bramble]

I sure love when mobile cant load after any new update. Figured id try, but as always just a black screen.

[sand sky]

I guess as usual no one thought providing enough systems for the new content would be a good idea

[split frigate]

By the way: away team tasks payout worse than ever! Where's the point to start them at all when normal ones only get minimum and priority 1 failing 80%?

[jagged current]

Looks like the outposts are borked. A single person running one in the system seems to stop anyone else from doing my of the other free ones,

[hollow flare]

How am I meant to do 72 waves of a guaranteed at least 6% max HHP per wave? And that's assuming I can kill the hostile round 1

[vivid delta]

@near saddle any idea why choice rewards are not showing in event store? Server 402 level 41

[cyan forge]

???

[ember sapphire]

Had to restart my game while occupying an outpost... now nothing is happening. Shows my ships there but no more waves. Which means no more rewards. And the node shows open and no buffs after i had increased apex barrier to 2500. <@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532>

[left marlin]

Sincere thx for extending the Event Store for another day 👍🖖

[civic sphinx]

This for real scopely? 25 shards? Guess with g7 out, i just skip the ship

[gloomy rain]

51+ promo doce not working

[gilded turret]

Event not scoring properly. Relativity bonus not being applied to all hostiles.

[forest hedge]

So the outpost is severely broken, i login from another device and the outpost ended. So far for afk feature

[urban valley]

huh ? warning but no option to cancel

[vivid delta]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> could we please get some form of acknowledgement about the choice rewards not being available in the event store before I raise a refund and compensation request with apple?

[molten marlin]

they should be up

[hard sentinel]

Can already tell after 3 hostiles at an outpost that the spawn timer needs to be reduced to 2 minutes or below. There is absolutely no need for a 5 minute timer to drag this out so long.

[visual helm]

<@&509690795536941056> what to do if you're too heroic for the heroic sms and have the ship completely OPS locked?

[vivid delta]

Still nothing on server 402, tried clearing localisation and get stuck on this each time

[urban valley]

[odd yew]

Almost had me there for a minute by letting me start an outpost. Good one Scopley.

[marble parrot]

Too far?. Im on top of blodd.y thing.

[urban valley]

what i am supposedd to do now ? restarrt the outpost ?

[thorny wedge]

If this is only going to be running for 60 days and then periodically after that, you are wasting your outpost loot spending it on vengence BP's unless there is other sourcing. I'm running a 63 outpost, but if I were to instead do a 70 outpost and finish all 72 waves every day, it will take me roughly 375 outposts to finish the vengence (I have 430~ right now) - i expect to have a 73 ship by then, so i've given up on trying to acquire vengence.

[plucky pawn]

Bring back the SMS for the vengeance...no one wants your ridiculous 25 bps packs. Quit being so greedy.

[cerulean holly]

<@&509690795536941056> great event for the few people still upgrading their relativity. Guess you're expecting me to buy a second, since it's a heroic?

[sharp hollow]

<@&509690795536941056> @full swan @near saddle is the team aware that even though you have completed the outpost event for the outpost pass that you are NOT getting those 20k points to unlock the milestones in the pass???
KINDA A BIG DEAL

[flint dirge]

Got kicked off my outpost after a few rounds despite ships being at full health. Fantastic feature launch as usual.

[cerulean holly]

great update, thanks for saving me 25€ for the BP because of the terrible rewards it has at OPS50🙏

[hollow lichen]

It's super unfair with an slb running for amount of hostiles defeated in these things though. Get that bug, you're done. And the comp chest for sure coming with dirs will go to everyone so those already ahead just keep the same lead. And they get to tier their building more for even bigger advantages

[visual helm]

If you have the respective ship OPS locked, this month is basically dead.

[cerulean holly]

Yep, my relativity is OPS locked. I'd much rather have disco parts, since that thing won't be done for another year than parts for a ship that's so easy to upgrade

[odd dock]

Arc BP compensation required ... as stated before launch, ppl hitting down, holding outposts / broken outposts = no way even with 2 days half the G5 players will even get to attack an outpost.

[hard sentinel]

My outpost just quit sending hostiles 31 minutes ago. My ships are still orbiting but the outpost says it hasn't been started. We're gonna need some starts refunded.

[glass pewter]

Make sure to submit a ticket so they can track how bad this really is

[red sun]

<@&509690795536941056>
Just ran into an issue where a max fortify was applied in a system where outposts were occupied. It appears all the outposts kicked out all players from being occupied, even players outside the alliance.

[normal cove]

<@&509690795536941056> any word on this one?

[plush smelt]

💩 arc already not enough outposts and full of bugs what a waste of everyone's time

[neon bane]

Yep .. pathetic arc

[hard sentinel]

My ticket just got closed by the bot due to it being a "current release issue"

[harsh ocean]

Max armada limit reached even though there's no ships present

[hasty crater]

the new battlepass gives out choice tokens but there is no place to redeem them or iam blind 😳

[vagrant topaz]

Here comes the USS Compensation !

[delicate pebble]

I'm in G4 but but my Relativity is maxed out. Will there be a way for me to participate in the events where you spend ship materials, since I can't spend any right now?

[golden summit]

After 5 waves i have this, so…. Should i recall or wait for what?! I guess its bug…

[umbral apex]

Can someone explain this crap upgrades? After finishing outpost this disappears?

[fringe fossil]

Same thing here. it ran fine for a bit then just died.

[sharp hollow]

@full swan so I am currently in the middle of one of these outpost runs .... have had 3 alliance members had theirs stop and end early .... so.... since your announcement about being "aware" of the problem after I started ... IF it quits on me ... there will be compensation... yes?

[restive lotus]

No clue what this means. Nobody else there. Logged in/out. Not working

[hexed hawk]

So one of my ships got destroyed in an outpost. The other is still there but the ships have stopped attacking despite the fact that my game says my ship is currently defending

[sly sonnet]

Same here just terrible🙈

[hexed hawk]

Took me 6 tries and 2 restarts before I stopped getting this message, and I was able to start one

[mental relic]

Game crashed while defending an outpost and now I've lost the outpost despite my ships still being there.

[red coral]

wth, ships just stop defending the outpost as well 🤬

[cerulean fractal]

Same here, was through over 30 waves too:

[raw bramble]

Im surprised everyone commonly forgets that new things never tend to work week 1 of any major update lol.

[fiery violet]

Same stopped killing hostiles after 14 kills. Shows me still in but shows I can start it lol. Typical scopley roll out.

[strange idol]

Mission is broken

[plush smelt]

They can't even get the redeem code to work properly let alone the rest of the stuff most jobs would have sacked people over this and seems like scoply hired them

[languid frigate]

<@&509690795536941056> what happed to the unity event for the outpost pass? It was there this morning I scored it in and now it and my score are gone.

[tiny remnant]

So how exactly do they work? First come, first served? Hoping you get a spot while everyone else desperately tries to do it?

[queen kindle]

Unity was the regular bp event. The outpost bp has a different feeder event.

[main tendon]

My outpost ha abruptly ended, incomplete??

[noble tulip]

Mine did as well, seems to have happened when I rejoined the game client.

[languid frigate]

There was a unity event in there this morning. 500 points for that event. And it does not reward bp points

I stand corrected I see that is 20k in Bp points

[umbral apex]

[hollow sphinx]

so what should we do when the outpost attacks stop after 6? just leave ir wait?

[placid basalt]

I am very much looking forward to this current event set as an ops 42 player. It is awesome to finally have a source for a ship within the events-the relativity. I appreciate being included in this set of events after having been left out of the last few arcs. I hope to see more opportunities like this as well as I would love the opportunity to play some of the older arcs that I previously couldn’t because of low ops level.

[loud cloak]

Here's some feedback on the Upgrade Relativity (Heroic) - SMS event...I'm Ops L46. I have a Relativity that's maxed out. And is not upgradable again until Ops 51. Therefore, I cannot score in this event.

[umbral apex]

I don't have this event in my game is this a payable event or what ? Im 62 ops

[queen kindle]

This month they're running separate bps for ops 50- and 51+.

[balmy oracle]

The idea was not bad with that solo outposts, how it is I won't say anything about it, it's what I expected

[loud cloak]

What's wrong with this picture?

[molten marlin]

The alignment issue is known

[random dagger]

re: "hanmiee — 12:48 PM" about issues with arc rollout, probably be a good idea to start looking at extending the windows on the events, gonna cheese a lot of people off if the events aren't completable because of issues @full swan @rough spear

[deft rain]

36/72 and the old buff "Destroyed: bug that has been around since 2020 stopped my outpost attacks, the outpost shows available but my ships show in te outpost still. So a 5 year old bug is destroying your new content. Imagine what would happen if you actually fixed bugs rather than punting them on....

[ocean crypt]

when i do a g6 , lv 63 outpost, i expect to unlock a g6 chest in refinery for g6 loot, not a g5 chests for g5 loot, what use is g5 loot to an ops 67, none whatsoever, and with outposts breaking up left , right and centre, we will be expecting compensation and replacement directives

[verbal wharf]

<@&509690795536941056> I know it's a balancing act, and nothing is perfect but having an event for ops 29-50 to upgrade the Relativity when it gets ops locked until lvl 51 is silly. I think with these heroics, there should always be a second avenue (eg upgrade Relativity or destroy 1,000 hostiles). Just some way to earn the rewards for players who have already ops locked their Rel.

[delicate marlin]

If someone’s level locked with a particular event. They should automatically get the heroic reward. Not jumping 3 ops levels

[rich wyvern]

wow is scoply deleting comments, was just reading one and it disappeared

[limber stream]

Where are the story missions? I can't find them. I can't rememer and arc starting with just a bunch of random task with no connected story. I looked in gifts and the holodeck. the usual places

[pliant ingot]

Outposts are just solo madas with extra steps. Not creative at all Scopely. Quit trying to change old things into something new.

[limber stream]

I like them. Solo armadas are the best content in the game. I like this new wrinkle. Not sure about the rewards yet but I'm willing to see how it turns out. Let people enjoy things. 🖖

[pliant ingot]

No one said you could not enjoy. That comment is not necessay in a feed back forum. Get over it with your little bottle emoti. This is event feedback. I gave honest feedback.

[balmy lintel]

Is anyone else getting booted from the command post for no reason? Bug in the gameplay?

[hybrid parrot]

Are G4's really only going to get 10 bps of the Relativity every 21 days via schematics? There are already 10 schematics via today's sms and 24 f2p in the battle pass, with an additional 56 in the paid track. 🤔

[jade sparrow]

<@&509690795536941056> I am not receiving my rewards from the Retribution BP track.

I open Retribution BP but it says it is the "Outpost BP".

What is being done about all the bugs EVERYONE is experiencing today?

The game is unplayable at the moment. 🤬🤬🤬

[abstract glade]

Seems like Scopely want us lower levels to quit the game.

[balmy lintel]

Anyone notice any problems with gameplay today?

[sharp hollow]

So awesome to be told to "put in a ticket" and not one of these options get you to a person to actually PUT IN A TICKET

[harsh ocean]

Still unable to start an outpost

[limber stream]

After you buy it, the cooldown is the standard 22ish hours. So I'm assuming there will be daily events to get BP's

[keen plank]

Try “Missing Rewards or Items”, I have used that option in the past and it let me open a proper ticket

[sharp hollow]

IDK how long "in the past" you've tried that, but last time I did .... it still filtered me thru Chatbot and I never got to "talk" to anyone ... auto close & "we are aware of the issue" garbage

[plush fulcrum]

I don't think they are discriminating against lower levels, they appear to want all levels to quit 😀

[sand geyser]

And us higher ops too. 😂

[covert wadi]

5 minutes between each attack wave is just way way way way too long

[pliant ingot]

Can anyone remember the last time a new arc thing like this went smoothly? I cannot

[visual furnace]

well if you believe the stories there was a guy called Noah that successfully launched an ark?

since then, nothing springs to mind

[keen plank]

That was many months ago, I suppose they got around fixing that “exploit”, wouldn’t want people actually adding tickets 😂

[sand geyser]

When FT dropped, it broke my game. And FT was actually useful in the end. I don’t see any way to salvage these 💩rewards.

[delicate marlin]

So killing hostiles for the relativity level battlepass doesn’t score. You guys are killing it.

[fresh stump]

Congrats on another fantastic arc launch 👏👏👏

[worldly cedar]

Just iPad or universal?

[molten marlin]

update your game

[amber wyvern]

This will take me killing roughly 2,428 hostiles to complete.

That is using only the ships that are bonus and hitting level 56+ only.

[smoky rose]

So good of Scopely to keep releasing buggy untested crap each month. It's not easy maintaining a level of quality

[worldly cedar]

There is no update for iPad ( but thanks for thinking I’m too stupid to check)

[plush smelt]

Still not able to use redeem code or complete a stronghold even if you manage to get one to work

[lime cove]

May want to check your math? lvl 56 gives 5.1M with a regular ship and your goal is 17.19M. That's 4 lvl 56 hostiles.

[ocean arch]

The game forced a restart and now nothing is happening but one ship is stuck there. I don't know if I should quit the outpost or wait or what. I know the team is "looking into it," but what do i do in the meantime?

[amber wyvern]

I've killed a ton more and ... No ... It does not give that much

[lime cove]

Are you sure you're killing 56s and not 46s? (asking because I've been half asleep and done that before)

[amber wyvern]

Got it finished ... There are two potential issues:

1. Hitting something higher than 56 gets you nothing
2. Has to be LOST hostiles and not just any

Unsure which or if both are true ... Annoyed at an event that has either with the wording of the event.

@full swan

[lime cove]

I can confirm, hitting higher than 56 gets you nothing. I completed mine hitting lvl 56 Freebooters, so I don't think it has anything to do with LOST hostiles.

[amber wyvern]

I was hammering on 58 freedbooters before I posted the first time.

Getting no credit for harder is bad design.

[lime cove]

In this picture - you'll notice there's no + sign next to the 56, so it has to be a 56 or lower to score. Definitely annoying (I hit 58s first as well).

[novel totem]

ok this is the opposite from engaging gameplay. Also node shortness is an issue. Why are attacks on a 5 min timer - this serves no purpose. Defeating a 63 outpost gave ~44k loot. A G6 chest pull is 400k loot. You see the issue?

[light trout]

Good grief. I went to collect a chest in the Outpost refinery, clicked on the button, and nothing popped up the button just went gray. Now I have to check my inventory again. This is a joke of an arc so far.

[pine minnow]

Good day, I started an outpost defense ans it seems to have stopped 3h ago. My ships are still alive, but hostils stoped comming. Could I please have the directives back?

[worldly cedar]

iPad had no update button in apps store.. reinstalled game and could start outpost once I found one that would work.
After 6 rounds it stopped working.
Why do the rounds take so long?
You started it on tech Tuesday but you can’t start a Q trial while outpost is running.
Are we back to Quantity over Quality again.
Please do something that gives us the will to carry on

[molten marlin]

you can start a q trial, you just have to go through the building itself

[worldly cedar]

And the rest of the issues? Everyone has wasted directives.

[hollow lichen]

Great, it glitched out again. slow clap for the developers who vibe coded this together but never bothered to test beyond round 1

[night goblet]

I can't even start an Outpost. It says the maximum has been reached, but nobody is on it

[hollow sphinx]

great communication. 8 hrs of event not working and last update 4 hrs ago that they are aware of the problem. just cancel the event until you fix it.

[errant chasm]

So is the advice to not run outposts on the first day launch of outposts for fear of losing out the directives? I haven't seen anything official other than there is a known issue they don't work.

[queen kindle]

I'm running one now, so are a lot of players. It's simply a risk to take. You can wait til tomorrow as well, the bp event gives you 2 days to do it.

[delicate raven]

It shouldn't be on players to risk the core function of a new arc working when there is an SLB active, the task can take up to 6 hours, and directives are limited.
I shouldn't be punished because my Outpost broke and someone else's didn't, nor should someone else be punished because theirs broke earlier than mine.

[lethal mountain]

Where do we sign up for a notification when Outposts actually work?

[indigo cliff]

Team is working on it. Notification will be smoke signal, and expected correction time is 2035. Set your calendar…

[sharp hollow]

Email ticket sent hours ago .... as expected, no response...

[humble sleet]

<@&509690795536941056>

Though the inclusion and focus on G3 and G4 players is welcome and shows that Scopley is trying to give more consideration to lower OP’s I feel like the way this Arc & it’s parallel BP’s are “locked” for the duration of the month ends of feeling like it instead excludes and discourages those on the edge of upgrading to the next Gx tier

Rather then making players on the edges of the next tier completely miss out for the whole month to instead reward them for tiering up by either allowing them to switch to the main Arc/Battle Pass or better yet allow taking advantage of both.

Heck it feels like a basic of the psychology of gaming to focus on the “Upgrade now to get access to…” and a failing on Scopley’s part to understand the fact it would likely result in the sale of more packs vs having players on the edge of G5 feeling disconnected and discouraged.

[indigo cliff]

Yeah, sorry about that. The AI responder designed to placate you, is running on the same computer the Outpost event is running on.

[rose ice]

<@&509690795536941056> should we expect an Events Calendar this week?

Typically they're released at in-game News on Arc launch day

[left marlin]

<@&509691205798592532> Any word on when we’re gonna get a schedule of Events through in-game news? Thx

Edit: nvm lol. Didn’t see the post above

[stoic linden]

How come this Battle Pass has no broken desealing rods in its overflow or am I blind?

[molten marlin]

you're looking at the outpost overflow

[stoic linden]

I was indeed, looking at a different overflow. ta

[hardy torrent]

Don't do a victory lap when these are fixed. Do one when you figure out how to add content that works day 1

[sharp flame]

If one has managed to get an outpost, and not been ejected after killing 5-8 attackers, the outpost sticks on 29 kills. There is flashing red text stating an incoming attack, BUT nothing happens ! The ships are not ejected and the whole thing is locked. I thought it was just me but there are several in the same state.
Also, when I tried reseting localisation, everything locked.

[azure isle]

doesn't the outpost supposed to be released after completing all waves ? why so many of them sitting on the last hostile forever

[molten marlin]

There was a bug with them, and a fix went out to address that, but it doesn't actually fix the currently bugged ones. Players need to start a new one if they can find one that works (another issue that is being worked on)

[harsh ocean]

Still can't start one so the fix doesn't matter

[gloomy rain]

Great fix.

[late orchid]

So How in the heck are we supposed to get bldg mats to upgrade this new bldg? Other then spending because all I see is a tradedown of rare in the refinery...why would I want to do that?

[molten marlin]

The building mats come from defeating the outpost (a chest)

(the first fight)

[late orchid]

These retaliation hostiles need to have guaranteed chests.

[hidden glade]

I'm assuming events will continue regardless of who can compete in them due to bugged content..bravo. Congratulations to the one person who wasn't bugged and can win at a canter👏

[lost vault]

<@&509690795536941056> this event needs a major rework, 80 premium dust is not worth going for at all, maybe if it was 800 but 80 is an absolutely pathetic reward

[marble parrot]

What the point of surviving the 30 hostiles??

Managed to get an outpost then leave my 2 best ships doing the hostiles....and then ??

No rewards? Or a simple " well done"

🦧🦧🦧

[molten marlin]

the rewards are from the initial kill and the hostiles that spawn

[marble parrot]

The lvl of loot should increase with each single hostile you take down.

[merry violet]

Although I am not 51+, I do think that replacing the Q trial button might be annoying. I don't think you can use the button on the building when it's upgrading, correct? So wouldn't that be removing existing functionality?

[sharp iris]

This image says it all about this new feature, all stations waiting on attackers or our ships not attacking the hostiles that do reach the outpost. <@&509690795536941056> we need compensation for the directives spent trying to run these, and for the wasted time. I appreciate its day one, but out the box this isn't as advertised.

Yet again Sco shoots and misses the goal by a full field length. Rewards are **** , lvl's are ****. This is nothing but another way of ending this game and killing it

Outposts: the most depressing and, as far as engagement goes, the most pointless gameplay i have ever encountered in over 35 years of computer gaming. If you can eventually start an event (far too few targets) there is no point in waiting around. Just log off and come back a few hours later. PATHETIC!!!

[tacit zephyr]

The problem with Scopely isn't just the number of bugs that appear with new events, which are getting worse and worse. The real problem is the lack of transparency and communication with the players. Worst of all, when they do decide to communicate, it's usually to blatantly lie and make promises they know they won't keep.💩 🤮

[deep crag]

Game (Outposts) is still broke. Outpost stopped at 17/72. Better than my first one at 66/72 though.

[tacit zephyr]

Well, the system hasn't let me start any of them yet.

[tiny remnant]

the waiting time between the outpost waves are ridicilous long. 5 minutes per wave? including the preparing time, and assuming you're beefy enough to take all 30 waves, that means you're occupying the outpost for 2 and a half hours. With limited supply of (buggy) outposts, you have to pray you get a chance to get one.

[tacit zephyr]

We all know that math isn't Scopely's strong suit, but the fact that they haven't realized that with the number of players there's an unworkable system says a lot about their lack of control.

[odd dock]

Light the torches, G5 demand compensation for inability to complete the outpost conquer intro sms because higher grade ops are holding the nodes.

typical scopely, was told this would happen, blanked the warning. now its compensation time

[tacit zephyr]

Well, if you're expecting good compensation, you're out of luck because Scopely's compensation level is the same as their communication level, which is to say, almost zero.

[spare creek]

Too few outposts especially when they are bugged. Too few rewards come from outposts until building is way upgraded, but my engagement to get the building to that level is, eh…..

[marble parrot]

The initiaal reward for capturing the outpoat should double if you survive all 30 hostiles.

Or 72.

🙄🙄

[odd dock]

what a great way to troll the G5 players... noty

[neat rampart]

Still cannot run an outpost - nodes all taken and when do I eventually try and start one get the too many armada message - so outpost bp task 1 unachievable - classic and as reported above if you are g6 player why not try the higher level ones and let us g5 get a go

[haughty quartz]

another lame duck update with another lame idea. rubbish after garbage after incompetence, time to leave the game just about reached level 70, but enough is enough. sick of all the lies and broken promises, all these want is your cash and they dont give 2 hoots about your welbeing on a game or mental health. They allow rogue players to spoil the game for most players and then do nothing the alleviate that issue. hope you enjoy the toxic game that they have brought it to. I for one will start playing assassin creed or other games. I am done here.

[verbal lion]

Did someone mess up the math on the pulls? Ops 64, 1 chest is 125k Outpost Credits.

63 Outpost rewards 18k for beating it, 270 per wave, 70 waves, building at 18% loot increase, total 40,302 outpost credits. I'd need to do four full outposts to competiton (not happening) for a total of 24 hours to get enough for a single pull...

I know we joke about Scopley math but this is just a bad joke.

[haughty quartz]

this game is becoming a big joke

[worldly cedar]

It’s Scopley’s twisted thought process. Make something worthless and try and sell it. Quantity over Quality again.

[craggy elm]

• 70 Outpost rewards 120K when u finish it.
• 1 G6 Chest costs 400K with a 20% chance for rare mats
• u will need a t12+ G6 Epic to do those
• 1 G7 Chests costs 3,7M
• Outpost Building at level 60 increases rewards to 255% of the original values

on top: Outpost will not stay permanet - there will be events. We saw how good this worked with the war room for example.

My Result: Don't buy - especially if you are OPs 60+

[marble parrot]

Its not a joke.

Its normal procedure. Unfortunally.

🤗😉

[red plaza]

Any yet everyone keeps spending money.

[jaunty ingot]

It would be nice for the 42-50 bracket that actually have locked out the Relativity to beable to score and obtain the artifact thats meant to help us ops up (more loot)

[thorny glen]

Oh not everyone. I stopped spending with the Borg Cube battle pass and haven’t spent a dime since.

[winter wasp]

Poorly planned event, one system for each level. Come on. Can't even get to an outpost. Really didn't think this through.

[jovial roost]

Less new content. More Stability!

[light wadi]

<@&509690795536941056> with all the problems surrounding Outposts when the game is restarted, which tend to abruptly end the outpost activity without any warning, and seeing as an Outpost event takes around 6 hours, the SLB and other events are unfair to those whose 1. Game client crashed so a restart was necessary 2. Player exited the game knowing how long it would be running and logged back on before the activity was done, thereby prematurely ending the activity (this happened to me), 3. Any other reason a player would leave the game and log back in before the activity completed.
This makes the SLB and other events extremely unfair, as the results by the majority of players will vary widely depending on when they restarted the game.
What is Scopely going to do to address this? Scopely has already admitted this is a known issue, and it's affecting the entire player base.

[ashen notch]

And make old content relevant again. Expand/improve existing content for things like Dominion, Cardassians, Eclipse, Borg, etc. Plenty of opportunity to develop arcs around those items. Larger hostiles/madas, new research, updated faction stores, new ships which actually fit into Trek lore, new crew who are glaringly missing (thanks for Nog by the way, but enough with the PvP garbage), story missions which revolve around popular characters, and all without needing to overly expand an already crowded in-game galaxy.

Just found out one of my alliance mates completed a full level 60 outpost last night. They got 7577/240,000 of the currency required to do a single mats chest pull in the refinery. That is NOT worth the time required. Scopely, you need to start getting realistic with rewards and progression ASAP. It has been getting so bad in that regard. You keep losing players, and lack of meaningful progress will be boring and drive more people to leave. You need to learn when people feel something is an exercise in futility, they stop caring and stop trying... and eventually don't bother anymore.

[lime rain]

Yep. Scopely support is basically a choose your own adventure for closing the conversation and not allowing you to actually submit a report.

[tribal meadow]

Cannot find an outpost to start, all occupied. Planning this did you consider the amount of players needing to do this fir your event or did you thumbsuck a number and pull it from the air like you seem to do with so many other things.

[jovial roost]

occupied, or bug

[tribal meadow]

Occupied, so many players trying to do this. There is not enough outposts in the L51 systems.

[stuck canyon]

The last wave has been going on for over 30 minutes, but nothing is coming; the outpost is blocked.
Yesterday at least the outposts were clear, even if not all waves had passed through.

[dark horizon]

This mechanic is messed up. Not only you take away the use of normal crews, you also lock 2 ships in this outpost for multiple hours. There is no logical reason it takes 5 minutes between each waves. 10-20 seconds should be plenty.

[idle parcel]

Exactly what I came on here to say. This 5 minutes nonsense is unnecessary.

[proven sparrow]

My server has no Outposts left to attack becasue they are all stuck at 1/72 waves remaining
Except for them Stupid NODE outposts but no1 is wasting their time hitting them when they lose 4% hull every round no matter what. dunno what you were thinking with NODE

[pulsar pewter]

I tried this crap. You forcing for new Crews and then have to attack as low as possible to not waste my directives. I will ignore this like Trashpoint!

[ashen notch]

And zero reason to take 3 mins to start once launched. Who doesn't have both ships in the circle within like 10 seconds? the start timers for the outpost should be 30 seconds (like chimeras), and the time between round should also be 30 seconds (as that is ample time for shield recharge if depleted).

[proven sparrow]

purpose?

[molten marlin]

No use at the moment

[ashen notch]

Wait, so they did design a way to speedup the start times on outposts but didn't implement it's functionality upon launch?!?!?! Who is making these descisions, because they need to take a class on critical thinking... I guess maybe it's for the best given how broken everything else has been.

[dark horizon]

They are waiting for everybody to be peesed enough to pay $100 for the research

[ashen notch]

I truly hope no one is crazy enough to spend $100 to bypass a 3 min timer. Even if it speeds up the entire encounter, not worth it. Just run them overnight for free.

[proven sparrow]

Right i Understand that the reason why attacks take so long is becasue you are ment to keep the Outpost buffs for 6 hours
However the system is silly.
You should not have 2-3 ships locked up not being able to do anything for 6 hours
you need your ships for other things, armadas. other events, station defence and so on
Locking up 2-3 ships for 6 hours for actually quite pathetic buffs is not the way to go.
It also means that active servers have no Outposts to attack as they are all already taken

You could quite easily speed up the waves so they hit every 1 minute. each wave you defeat adds 5 minutes to a outpost timer
So after 1 hour (which is still to long) the Outpost is over and you have your buffs for 6 hours.

But again as far as the buffs go, they are rubbish and if there is no event on I certainly will not be wasting my time doing them

Also the upgrades are not permanent so I do not see any reason to waste resources on upgrading them to just lose them in 6 hours. especially with them costs. you cant even max the buffs while you hold the station.

Very bad form

[crude spoke]

There’s not enough outposts, too many players on now. Can’t do event. Especially systems 51,

Waste of money buying special elite pass.

🚽

[random dagger]

Unhappy that it is needed, but, #⭐-official-announcements message and the previous post from Hanmie are exactly what should be communicated regularly and in a timely fashion @celest kite

[wanton moat]

What actually happens with the battle pass for the outpost? Since I am one of those who CANNOT do outposts, I cannot complete the first task, which means I cannot fill up the pass because you have to complete ALL tasks to do so. Great stuff, honestly!! :/💩

[normal ruin]

BRING BACK EOA EVENT STORES! No one ever asked for the Ferengi season pass, no one asked for the Ferengi store. We liked the EOA event stores, something people ACTUALLY looked forward to.

[ashen notch]

If there's one thing I've looked forward to in the arcs of 2025, it's them ending 🤣

[random dagger]

You ignore it since it doesn't apply to you?

[boreal coyote]

I set up an outpost last night and logged out. Looks I got 31 kills. my ships had minor , minor repairs. I got 20 building parts. Sounds like it didn’t work out. Do we file tickets?

[errant barn]

Thanks <@&509690795536941056> for splitting the battle pass in two! Since there’s no value in any of them anymore, you allow people saving 25$!

[normal cove]

retribution bp still broken...trying to claim crashes the game. <@&509690795536941056>

[old mason]

Perhaps we can get a comp chest?

[proven sparrow]

Will we be able to finish the outpost pass if we dont have daily events?

[wanton moat]

dont think it will work, i can ´t even do the mission from yesterday .

[tardy berry]

am i the only one who isnt getting credit for completeing the new missions? i wiped them out yesterday. however it still shows me needing 25 more points to complete the "New Missions SMS"? i collected all the new missions in the holodeck ( atleast the ones that showed in my holodeck) Since there is no Friken Mission log for Players i can track down to see which one isnt registering.

[wanton moat]

we get the next part in the next arc i think

[jaunty nacelle]

This is all I got for lasting the full outpost attacks?

[tardy berry]

No or it wouldn't count for the SMS now running. this BP seems a waste of time. might as well do the regular game stuff that came out before this pile of steaming Bleep since I tried 4 times last night to start and try those new Outposts and welllll.. all i kept seeing is " this outpost has exceeded the amount of armadas " so screw it!

[craggy elm]

[coral bane]

Before joining the ‘critical thinking’ class, a finished ‘thinking’ class is required.
Thats too much to ask

[crude spoke]

Waste of time and money buying elite passes

[tardy berry]

thats why i havent put my normal BP lower tier in this past 6 months due to the game being screwed up from the get go with new content

[civic oak]

@queen kindle This weekly Wednesday task which counts towards ahead of the curve is impossible for folks under 25

Also ship xp for domination battle pass events was changed from 8 to 3.... was that expected

[tardy berry]

Hey Scopley. May I suggest you cancel the New Outpost BP since we CAN'T run them due to content Failure, and Refund those who may have already bought it (I didn't buy it due to your last 6 month history of failure on new content) but for those who have its not fair or right if they cant complete the bp and were already in 2 days into the bp.

[honest crane]

Some suggestions: take out post off-line and fix them. It’s a horrible introduction to an arc and I think every one of the beta testers need to be fired. Five minutes in between each ship is ridiculous and lock up your shifts for too long. 30 seconds max. Even better is once the first ship is destroyed send another one. I will freely admit I’m a spender, but after this arc, I am seriously cutting back as the money I spend is not getting a good return.
I find it hard to believe that when designing the outpost that it was agreed to have five minutes in between each ship ….

[vestal vessel]

@full swan <@&509690795536941056>
Just how we supposed to use 1200 Solo Outpost Directives.? When the Outpost don't work. Are trying to make people more angry. Because it sure is working unlike the game. You sure do know what you're doing.

[grand orchid]

Is there some way to get wave 2 started. I just get to the end of the first 30 ships and frozen out of any further joining or starting.

[hollow lichen]

Nice to give 1200 to EVERYONE so those where it didn't bug out can really make sure their top spots in the SLB is secured.... Because of course, can't have an actual solution that's fair.. no no, if you got kicked twice just get rekt I guess and the ones that didn't can tier up their building even faster

[queen kindle]

What level are you?

[normal cove]

<@&509690795536941056> how does the 1200 directives help those of us that cant start any because they are stuck with a corrupted outpost? its been 24hrs and i still cant start a new one due to this issue

[unreal coral]

is there a way to clear an outpost battle? I can't start another outpost as it thinks the last one is still active (after clearing it and it hanging on last hostile)

[haughty quartz]

too many outposts stuck at 1/72 thats 6 out of 12 on our server of level 60 ones alone, what a joke. and as they rest are 6 hours long, many people are just saying they have had enough, think game now officially SUCKS

[feral finch]

Ah. Maybe the only reason for the less amount of outposts and the long time of running each outpost session for one player is having less frustrated players - because only a few players can run a outpost. This is a very good strategy from scopely. 🤡 🍻

[umbral apex]

What about the upgrades rss waisted on unnfinished outposts . You give directives but no upgrades rss that was lost

[dusky mortar]

Every time Scopely has an RSLB with only 50 winners it makes me hate Scopely more.

[prisma night]

Solo outposts are
horrible.... not enough to run that work. But thanks for the directives for something i cannot find an open one to run

[civic oak]

24

[queen kindle]

While I'll request a separate event or scoring mechanism, the aotc series of events aren't like holiday meta ones. There is a considerable amount of extra pts available in these so missing these weeklies aren't stopping completion, just making it harder.

[civic oak]

You're addressing for the Wednesday event right? Appreciate that.

Can you find out if the battle pass event was supposed to be nerfed and ship xp is now worth 3 points vs 8?

[queen kindle]

SS your bp event.

[ocean crypt]

yet another useless arc, the outposts are useless, the only reward is build parts for taking the outpost, you get absolutely nothing for taking out 6 hrs of hostiles, the chance chests of g5/g6 are stupidly ridiculous low amounts of rss, theres nothing of value in the outpost hostiles, be as well taking the outpost, get the build parts, then drop the outpost, again another massive waste of time by scopely, hype that completely fell flat on it's face yet again

[ashen notch]

<@&509690795536941056> Since there are no outpost events today, will the Outpost Introduction Meta - SMS be extended so that players can actually complete it? Or maybe a compensation sent out to provide all players with points for the day(s) with no outpost events?

[civic oak]

Ship xp went from 8 per to 3 (I've seen others calling this out in discord too)

Also didnt buildings or defense used to be worth 40 vs 20....)

[stuck canyon]

The entire outpost event is ruined; there's no way to find an outpost that isn't affected by the bug, so there's no way to earn points anymore. Great idea! 👏👏

[deft wren]

I'd like to have attempted your new content and progressed on events like I usually do Scopely but there isn't a single 51 Outpost available - looks like they're all bugged - and the 53 won't let me start them because of armada limits 🤷🏻‍♂️

Great job /s

[queen kindle]

This event doesn't seem out of line with other power gain events. Are you finding that it's too difficult to complete on a regular basis?

[vale frost]

Has it been addressed why there is no new event for this today? I’d like to know if I should start asking for a refund.

[queen kindle]

There'll be enough events to fill the overflow f2p with perfect participation. Yesterday's 2-day event awarded 20k pts, and we only need 280k.

[tacit zephyr]

I couldn't do any yesterday. And today I think I'm headed down the same path. So it's impossible for me to complete this event.

[civic oak]

Yes, it's a challenge when this event cycles through a battle pass every like 5 days. I used to have ships to help with it but at my ops level, I cant keep up doing that every 5 days.

I think the concern here is the values of buildings / defenses and ship xp was nerfed while the amount to complete (despite staying the same level) continues to go up every event...

[queen kindle]

Why don't you build extra ships like you used to anymore? Back in the day I'd have several ready for using ship xp into.

[civic oak]

I do this as well. But there's higher level players as well saying this changed, can we at least not inquire why the values changed? That change about tripled the amount required

[queen kindle]

All of the bp events were changed, and updated to a new standard. That's expected. The only concern is whether or not the difficulty is appropriate for your level range.

[civic oak]

One or the other needs to give. Either the battle pass amount goes up (it used to be 75k, now it's 150k..... whatever)

But then the points for xp should still be 8 and buildings at 40.

Being able to do this 5 times this battle pass is going to be pretty difficult

[errant wind]

No outposts available, most are stuck on 1/72
Scopley this is a shocker

[viral wadi]

Still dont work properly

[dapper escarp]

Any chance that scopely would be willing to not add new content to the game and just fix what is currently not working? I think more people would want to stay if they did that.

[civic oak]

@queen kindle I just did the math on it, to put things in perspective, I would need to fully build and max out two or 2.5 envoys this battle pass if I was just doing ship xp.

That may seem laughable but it's a lot of for a low level 20 in a very fast time

[turbid cloak]

Still can't start an outpost. Have cleared cache and data. I know compensation not finished but needs to include resources in the outpost slb and alb as I was in top 15, now not even in top 100 and unable to compete.

[frank osprey]

Am I missing something? I looked at the event schedule and there might be 1 thing listed to start tomorrow(kill [I guess because they still haven't replaced the proofreader they fired some months ago] Fed hostiles)? Are the LBs supposed to count?

[vagrant topaz]

https://tenor.com/view/scopely-gif-24824538

[sand lintel]

more and more unplayable / unattainable content/events from scopely. I don't know if they will ever learn, but maybe one day they will run out of people willing to throw money at them.

[opaque hawk]

@queen kindle any idea how we are supposed to complete the intro to outposts meta event? 2 events released with it that have the same time as the meta, but we need two more events and i dont see what they would be based on the calendar?

[queen kindle]

Nothing on the calendar is a permanent state and today's announcement about an outpost event postponement leaves unanswered questions, but they'll post when more information is available. Generally, there'll either be additional events or a comp chest, but we'll see.

[frank osprey]

Already had 2 comp chests this week or has it been 3? I’d say their team is failing pretty hard atm. Thats what you get for hiring people that put “been playing Roblox for the last 5 years” as experience on their job application.

[frank turtle]

Scopley can't figure out the proper number of outpost. None available, not enough for the amount of people. Still can't get it right after all those years !

[vale laurel]

<@&509690795536941056> Can we get clarification to whether we SHOULD NOT start an outpost that will run into the maintenance? Will this cause our ships to be docked? ......Probably not the best idea to do this during the end of the outpost slb event, just saying or tell us what will happen and or what we should not do please.

[stoic ferry]

Three hours and not even half way through this Outpost. People are WAITING IN LINE for these. Six hours is way to long to tie up an Outpost and two ships for us to do an event. A friend says reduce the time between attacks to a minute or less.

[errant wind]

https://tenor.com/view/skull-issues-gif-12650825103867367926

[shadow yew]

It would be nice when a captured outpost is successfully defended, the ships are auto-recalled back to the docks.
(also, my cat was mesmerized by the circling dots around the post and quietly observing it. that counts as something positive for me. heehee...)

[feral finch]

On the test system in Scopelys lab they had 5 players and everyone could take an outpost. So where is the problem? 🥳

I did an outpost capture more than 15 hours ago. I have since done various hostile hunts/grinds. Tried to do another outpost capture and i cannot. The msg i get is that i cannot start another capture whilst one is still underway…please sort this out.thanks

[marble parrot]

I could try another capture..or mine iso

[blazing lava]

I am getting tired of all these failures. Stop the new content, and fix the game. And please stop giving these almost worthless comp chests. They are just insulting. You are raking in a lot of money from us. The least you can do is hire some good programmers.

[little wraith]

About comp chests: I was really looking forward to an incursion event so I could finally get those 100 keys… instead I got 2000 upgrade parts… still can’t build the structure. Would be nice if comp chests at least reflected the possible rewards we would get from these ‘failed’ events.

Let down #2 was being ops 31 for this current event. I’m still actively working on my discovery as it’s a pain to get parts for and now there is an event for it but I can’t access it.

TL;DR: Voyager event shouldn’t start until ops 34.

[vast ferry]

No chance, with scopely it’s $$ first and players can bug off.

[stuck canyon]

My good start the day before yesterday on outpost ebl has been ruined by these damn bugs and now ..no chance To get back to the top spots, ah of course there will surely be some great packs to help achieve that.
Those with a wicked streak might suspect that Scopley plans this for every new piece of content 😉

[limber stream]

Wish Scopely had given us the option of which event path to take
They gave low level Ops Voyager, mid tier Discovery, and higher levels Relativity. I’m really not interested in getting on a new loop right now so the Relativity BP’s are going to sit. I would have loved a chance to finish off Discovery and the Discovery research. Its a slog if you’re FTP.. I do the weekly events and get the trickle of spore drive parts. I’ve maxed so many specialty ships that I started working on after the Discovery. Slowest grind in the game.

[vast ferry]

I say defiant was worse but agree with your sentiment

[pearl crest]

Scopley can shove outposts where the sun don't shine.... not enough of them to be able to do them lvl 51 systems flooded with lvl 60 players... total joke..... and wont bother wasting my time

[turbid hamlet]

Do not create an SLB on new game mechanics day one that award some form of progression specific to the Arc again. You are about to reward a lot of building materials that will give those that didn't have the outpost glitch, an unfair advantage, on top of the brilliant idea to reduce the starting payout awarded for an outpost BEFORE an SLB that uses those materials in its scoring! Meaning those that did them before THAT also have an unfair advantage that will persist thru the entire Arc. This is beyond dumb.

You do not change scoring mechanics in the middle of an SLB because YOU made a mistake!

[unreal crater]

Please fix the timing and quantities of these outposts!!! 2+ hours for lvl 51. They just got fixed and there is 4 hours left in the event! And everybody is trying to rush through and get it done! With only 6 Outposts half of the lvl 51s have lvl 65-70 players camping them!
So far there has been no reliable feedback on what us going on with the events!
Please stop feeding us piles of 💩 and then shoveling glitter over it and calling it a rainbow cake!

[tacit zephyr]

There are still outposts that have a ship inside a loop waiting for the final attack that never comes.

[silk tide]

5 Minutes each round x 72, that is insane, sry to say that, please Remove the Timer or reduce it, it makes no sense

[tacit zephyr]

There's really no sense in the whole thing. For example, to defend an outpost, you have to prepare everything beforehand. But they demand equipment that they only give you if you manage to defend outposts, or if you pay extra. And the amounts they ask for are astronomical; it's a real chicken-and-egg situation.

[rough ravine]

Really love the idea of Outposts and for the most part, how it is implemented (ignoring the first day issues). I have seen this comment already but wanted to double down on reducing the time between attackers to 1 minute. Should be plenty of time for your ship's shields to recharge, and would cut the time on target down to 1 hour and 12 minutes, from 6 hours. Having your strongest 2 ships tied up that long is inconvenient, particularly right after introducing the Transogen arc where I am using those same ships overnight to autogrind out Cannister and Containers.

[dark jewel]

I'm just wondering how could you have not created enough outposts? you know how many active players there are in each server. You know it takes 6 hours and more than likely all these players that are active are going to be trying to do it in the same time frame. They'll be some overlap but not much. And you certainly can't assume that people are going to do it all throughout the day. My point being we need more outposts at every level. Thank you. <@&509690795536941056>. Oh and you can't attack so there's no way to clear until they finish their run which is and a minimum going to be a few hours.

[unreal anvil]

The length of time for each round is a joke, why is there a need for such a long wait for each round. There are over 400 lvl 51+ on my server making it impossible for everyone to be able to complete the dailies with so few of these systems.

[tacit zephyr]

I don't know who came up with this. But it's clearly only for paying players. It's impossible to get enough to upgrade this. The worst part is that every time you defend an outpost, you have to refill it completely, wasting a ton of resources. This is a bottomless pit.

[haughty quartz]

YOU seriously need to look at the chest rewards for outposts its a joke!!!!!!!!!!!! so done 2 outposts and got 9736 tokens for 6* materials like 150 or 300 rare and up to 800 uncom, guess how many tokens i need 240k so another 200+ outposts for 1 chest, what the hell are you folks smoking, its a joke

[rough ravine]

You get the Material Fragments from the building, not attacking the outposts. They are a constant drip. It's basically a free small drip of materials. At lower level Outpost Control Center, it is kinda useless, but should get better as you level it up. Mine is at level 8 so far and I have already claimed them twice from the refinery and have another available now at 50k a pull. I am only level 59 though so in the G5 mats.

Editted... oh, NVM.. You are talking about the Solo Outpost Credits. My mistake. Yeah, I only have 6350 of those and need 10k for a single pull.

[hallow echo]

Between the underwhelming availability of The outposts in the overwhelming number of bugs related to the outposts. I have zero interest in this event going forward. What's the point having events when I you can't even participate?

[zinc burrow]

after today's patch, the outpost is still kicking ships after the first round of retaliation hostiles - occured on a lvl51 outpost

[tight jetty]

Thank goodness for Causality! Us lower level ops players felt forgotten and left behind. This helps us catch up in ship upgrades and attainments. There some strange glitches showing up in regular play though

[sullen badger]

<@&509690795536941056> these outposts are entirely too long and too slow. These need to be like the fast Data nodes or like Speed Dating. Make them like 10 rounds like Waves and have the gap time between rounds like 1 minute. That way more players can have a chance to run them instead of players squatting on them for at least 3 hours.

[worldly cedar]

2 ship out of action for 6 hours for rewards that are less than the repair costs. It’s another mining event but with useful ships that are needed for other things.

[analog flax]

How are you supposed to do the Not Quite Right event, killing augment hostiles? All the appropriate systems for me have no hostiles, just skulls floating outside of the area. Nothing spawns

[tough crater]

I love it. My 2 strongest ship were in it for 6 hrs and i got enough to pull 2 Rom shards. So only 356 hrs to complete him and 360 hrs for other officer.

Who needs life when you have scopely

[viscid phoenix]

The content is 2 days old. Did you expect to max him by now?

[tough crater]

Nope, but was expecting to get something out of 6hrs in outpost. Rewards are laughable

[tacit zephyr]

Since the beginning of 2025, they haven't done anything that isn't ridiculous.

[lost phoenix]

When I meet someone that enjoys the Outpost mechanic I will post. Until then, assume at best people like the rewards and hate a 6 hour mechanic that doesn't work. Still a long list of problems with Outpost's..... can devs pull the months events and install replacement events?

[glass pewter]

I mean the first arc was call the year of hell...

[bleak apex]

Tja 6h die 2 stärksten Schiffe an Außenposten gebunden, ist wieder einmal ein perverser Hohn von scopely. Zuerst wie immer seit deren dämlichen Spruch "Qualität statt Quantität", aber stattdessen ein verhunztes Update nach dem anderen. Dann lächerliche Entschädigungen und in ein paar Wochen vielleicht ein Einsehen, das man zahlenden Spielern auch etwas bieten sollte. Scopely hört endlich mit euren unausgegorenen Updates auf. Wechselt eure unfähigen Programmierer endlich aus und bereinigt endlich die alten bugs, bevor ihr etwas neues versucht.

[slender comet]

Please fix the battle pass claim

[glass pewter]

<@&509690795536941056> so no compensation for the currency on failed outposts that drained this currency then an event to score based on lost currency?!?!? Who dreams this stuff up

[echo cedar]

Kill 100 of the outpost hostiles in 24 hours with what directives since they were used for the other SLB?

[gritty haven]

How at lvl 22 am I supposed to unlock biometic gel in chaos tech - that's the sms you gave me?🤦‍♀️

[molten marlin]

it's pay store only

[raw bramble]

Love the idea of outpost as it requires crews that we haven't used since the game launched and not good enough to use for away teams. But my gosh add more outposts cause 180 across the server is not enough at all. Especially when we now have enough directives to run them back to back to back allowing the same people to literally occupy them for a full 24 hours if they got them fast fingers.

[gritty haven]

Yep

[gloomy rain]

So, we have both armada event (Apex and Vindicator), and outpost events, but outposts (even though they aren't allegedly armadas) when active, makes it impossible to launch armadas??

[lost vault]

<@&509690795536941056> Removing the Venge Heroic SMS for bps has completely messed getting 1 up, i'm only 205 bps off getting 1 but it's gonna take around 100ish lvl 66 outposts to complete without an RLB which I always have bad luck with... I don't have max g6 epics so can't really go higher if i want to finish all 72 outpost waves... Please bring the Heroic SMS back, god I never thought I'd ask such a thing in regards to Heroic events lol

[near valve]

lol. How the hell am I, as a lvl 63, supposed to compete with a lvl 70 in this? Ridiculous event scoring.

[gloomy current]

Restrict G6/G7 players to fighting outposts of their own generation, having skilless monkeys completely lock out the outposts for younger generations is not cool.

[celest axle]

at level 18 or 19, how do I even do the event for upgrading Chaos Tech? I don't even know where to find it to upgrade it... Chaos Tech Fusion Rods? update: A team member told me about Amargosa, but even with my Northstar - I can't reach it. So I guess I can't do this event... And got a ton of the Halloween special gifts, but had no way to exchange them.

[raw bramble]

Tbf. Me at 64 with my 8.5B cube and 8B Minerva cant even clear lvl 60 outposts fully unlike 56's. So in that regard its more efficient reward wise for us to go down to where we can full clear vs where we cant. (Also borg outposts are the exception since iso is easier to mitigate due to two officers having that ability vs hypo and shred not even being abilities (outside of labeled hostiles and players) and limited by research that may or may not even apply.)

[high basin]

Finally got enough after 3 runs of outpost to pull the new outpost G6 chest. What a disappointment. 18 hours without my 2 best ships, for this?

[glass pewter]

But the patch notes say that is significant 🤣

[vast ferry]

Get use to it, scopely philosophy is buy a pack

[near valve]

$copley wants you to ops up so you can use the chaos tech.

[jaunty nacelle]

Yeah... the rewards for this whole arc are lacking in every aspect. The pulls aren't worth any of the grind.

[rapid cove]

This event is crazy stupid --- 18 outposts in 3 FKR systems for hundreds of players ... an armada limit on the total number of outpost attacks per day ..... and level 60+ ships camping on the level 51 outposts., ---- completely unplayable .. unless a person wants to waste all day watching 3 systems ... hoping that they can sneak in ----- if $copely wants us to try Outposts --- then add more systems and we might be interested. Be sure to give EVERYONE the OUTPOST event rewards that we cannot even try to earn.

[high basin]

Spot on. At first glance, the only decent reward is the premium dust, but even then, since outposts aren't a permanent addition, it's going to turn into a trickle later on.

[cunning chasm]

For Outposts they need to add a lot more systems or decrease 5min interval between waves. as it is now there is 6 outposts per type and level and it takes 6h 15 minutes complete so only 18 players can do one in 24h. Thats way too low.

[oak crescent]

what makes you think they're not a permanent addition? the directives might not have permanent sourcing yet, but I suspect that's one of the things they'll be adding in month 2

[high basin]

I believe they said outposts would be turned on and off after the first 2 months. Sort of like galactic invasions. Let me see if I can find it.

[oak crescent]

ah, I see what you're referring to. I didn't spot that the first time I read through the article

[turbid hamlet]

Thanks for screwing me out of my 3rd place finish by changing the value of the outpost loot others got to take advantage of before the wonderful update. Not buying this months BP either if you're going to jerk people around in the middle of slbs.

[fervent meteor]

I KNOW its only a visual bug, but all this players ships "circling" around is sooooo annoying !!
Will ever a new feature be released without messing up everything else in the game !?
Is it time for a SERIOUS talk of a beta tester server !? ( retorical question )

[plucky glacier]

Maybe don't make events that are literally impossible for people to do because high level players hog the low level outposts for 6 hours...

[urban valley]

its been like this forever

[civic oak]

Can level 24s even do this??? What is this

[shadow trellis]

It’s this

[urban valley]

20k officer choice tokens for 99.99$ 🤣 like 2 officer sharrds ?

[stoic ferry]

Look at All the People waiting for Outposts. And the picture on the right shows that the Outpost at twelve o'clock is locked up with attack incoming. Not enough outposts. TIE UP YOU SHIPS for six hours. This was not thought through. COMPENSTATION GIFTS to all who can't finish this thing!!!

[stoic ferry]

👆 Six hours doing Outpost only to find your ships die at the end and you must go to a lower level outpost. An Outpost WAY WAY below your level. How the heck are we supposed to do our Dailies when our two or three best ships are tied up for Most of the Day! JUST END Outpost and give us all compensation gifts.

This is the Outpost that is locked up with attack incoming at twelve o'clock.

[grand fulcrum]

@full swan why are most of these events only giving outpost COMPONENTS (the mats for the temporary buffs) where are the cores and medals and plunder

[rustic kelp]

MORE OUTPOSTS please all full

[sacred scarab]

Can we knock it off with these regional ALB's which are just feeding more stuff to the whale alliances with no one else even getting scraps anymore?

[dapper kraken]

More outposts are desperately needed

[molten ridge]

Limited outpost nodes with a 6hour timer is some buuuuuuuuuuulllllll! drop it to 2hours so that the nodes clear faster

[rustic kelp]

Total joke its one step closer to me quitting must admit.

[carmine nacelle]

Outposts are mostly occupied by overpowered ships without a single useful officer on the bridge.( With better crewing those players could actually go to bigger systems imho.) So the chance is low for smaller players to participate in this event when big ships hug the outposts for 6 hours. How do you think that is fair play? This problem should have been easy to anticipate.

[worldly cedar]

What were the test player base numbers? Did they have a mix of levels? A mix of research? A mix of officer levels? Because in the real world it makes no sense. As with Transogen you have not looked at your customer stats for a baseline of capability and engagement.
Not to mention the fact that servers have over 2000 player having to sit on outposts for 6 hours each.

[jaunty nacelle]

The 5 minute wait between each attack is ludicrous. At most it should be 1 minute for the first few attacks and then once the outpost has been boosted enough the attacks should be within 20 seconds (preferrably less than 10 seconds). The overall time an outpost is captured wasn't thought out very well, especially with the extremely limited outposts available. Lower the time between each attack and increase the amount of outposts in each area. This NEEDS to be done !

[sleek mist]

The "game" is currently to watch for nearly-ended Outpost Captures and start your own Capture as the previous one ends and before any other player can fire off their Capture directives. This game mechanic isn't about ships or research or crewing, it's about sitting and waiting and being slightly faster to click than the other person waiting. And the 9-5 workday isn't even over for 2/3 of the country. It will only get worse over the next two hours.

[tawny falcon]

How are we supposed to do these events when every single outpost is filled up at the same time? 6 hour outpost defense is a bad idea when you have SMSs for them and everybody is trying to do them at the same time.

[late siren]

Outposts will be an epic fail unless you double the number available. its obvious that with a 6 hr duration that everyone is going to try to do them overnight. No one is going to to give up best 2 ships for potentially 6 hours while they are active in the game

[turbid hamlet]

Sweet.. an Outpost SMS.. right after an event that required using all the directives to score leaving with not enough today! So fun! Is this supposed to make me wanna buy directives? Because its not labelled Heroic, it just further irritates me. And if Im supposed to have enough thanks to the BP.. well.. Thats still Borked..

[frank turtle]

It's already been said, but I'll say it again cuz you don't listen and take actions. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OUTPOSTS!!! It's a recurrent problem (ex. One system with everyone trying to kill not enough hostiles). Happened multiple times with different arcs. You don't listen and clearly don't want to address issues at this point. That " I'm sorry " video didn't mean 💩 Scopley just disrespect the players at this point.

[restive barn]

Outposts are ridiculous. Double the players waiting in system than those doing them... those doing them have 2 ships locked out of anything for hours. Crazy idea.

[red atlas]

Keep those comp chests coming just lost 600 directives

[willow root]

The biggest egg scopley ever launched 4 b in ship power wont win. 600 directives nothing. Scopley wont be having a merry xmas because they went for broke

[edgy bison]

There is a shortage of outposts. Everyone wants to run them overnight and they fill up by 5pm. Double the low level system.

[short pier]

Whose brilliant idea was it to have an event funneling everyone to just one faction's outposts? Am I meant to just stay up all night waiting for one of the 12 outposts I can do to clear up? What a dud.

[molten marlin]

Any outpost works

You kill the fed hostiles outside of the outpost

queue 1 or 2 ships and then kill fkrs with a different ship

[short pier]

I see. Silly event then.

[left hare]

Why are Outpost retaliation ship timers set for 5 minutes? Worst case scenario, our ship's shields regenerate in less than 15 seconds. Can't you set timers to at least 30 seconds? Waiting for hours to get critical ships back for other things.

And honestly... Scopely has yet to fix the issues they had with the Transogen arc. So they start something else with issues?

If I may make a suggestion from all of us little people: please fix what you have now before introducing another "thing" that is broken!

[tacit zephyr]

The worst part is that this will end up being like the Sarris invasion. It will only serve to create a completely abandoned area of ​​space, linked to an event that will appear sporadically, totally useless for the players.

[merry violet]

Also, if it's a sporadic event, it is possible it will just stop being ran, leaving some players with a building they can't use, and others with a space they can never fill.

[left hare]

Oh... Like this system? 🤣

[molten marlin]

that one never made it to live if i recall

[tacit zephyr]

There are so many examples that you can choose the one you like best.

[neon terrace]

*a building and a refinery tab.

This content should be permanent. Or if it is an event the outpost loot exchange should be placed in event store, not in refinery.

[tacit zephyr]

The new building will end up abandoned like this building, which the only way to upgrade is by paying.

[tacit zephyr]

And let's not even mention the number of ships that have become useless and offer nothing to the players.

[frigid steppe]

Another Scopely launch disaster. Why do we waste timne with this crap????

[waxen mango]

Has anyone found the other missions for the complete mission event, I did the one in Holodeck, dont see any others

[molten marlin]

one a week

[neon terrace]

Read patch notes: "Missions roll out weekly across the arc. Part 2 continues the story next month."

[tacit zephyr]

Yes, that's when they'll release the new ship that can defend these outposts, and thus continue to squeeze the players' wallets.🚽 💸

[blissful island]

Crickets still….i mean how does interjecting something only lvl 71s can start and it takes them 4 days to get a start. How does this improve the customer experience? These should be instances just like Wave defenses…..

[dreamy solstice]

typical scopely incompetence, bring out a new event, give only 24hrs do get it done, but bring out very limited amount of outposts for the entire server to work with, not enough outposts to go around, especially when bigger ops go low just to get the 6hrs out of 1, a total blasphemy of scopely yet again

[fresh rune]

indeed, I have been looking for THREE days now for an outpost. No chance! I tried the next stronger and got shot by the first ship. I think a nice fat compensation chest would be welcome for anyone who did not score in the events

[misty bluff]

having issues with not being able to attack bases previously hit. no message, just stops

[safe flicker]

<@&509690795536941056> why does the event scoring for the continuity BP not include hostiles above 56? The weekly voyaging beyond includes hostiles up to 60 for scoring.

[queen kindle]

What level are you, and are you capable of killing 57+ hirogen?

[wooden sail]

M Completionist is BROKEN. I just completed today’s Impressionist SMS after finishing yesterday’s Node Strike and neither is reflecting in the count.

[queen kindle]

Scoring will be adjusted on the bp event(up to 60s). The server side should be done soon, but score card might take longer to reflect this change.

[safe flicker]

Lvl 50 and yes you can kill up to lvl 60 hirogen in the DQ systems at the very top of the map

[safe flicker]

Thank you! Also here is proof that the lvl 60 hirogen can easily be taken out

[rare cobalt]

Scopely doubled down on breaking the game. Before it was just items out in left field. Now it's right field, center field, infield, dugout, and parking lot

[proven sparrow]

This is a RALB not ALB and only top 50 win something? rather tight

[woven tulip]

Useless mats only for temporary buffs

[crude mist]

I think Scopay should do an event called “bug fix” in which they finally fix the core code of this awful game so it becomes… playable.

[runic arrow]

How does this work?

[queen kindle]

Get pts killing roms, get bonus pts if you're holding an outpost at the same time.

[runic arrow]

We tried that and points didn’t change up

[odd dock]

so your server doesnt have G6 and G7 players on all the lvl51 and 53 outpost nodes?

[restive barn]

Yes indeed we do. Hoping players figure out to go bigger soon.

[rancid blaze]

As an OPs 39, I have not seen the Complete New Missions SMS for 35+ event. I have a pip in holodeck, but no claim of Pattern Buffers. #💫-event-information message

[tranquil oasis]

😫

[grave charm]

What the hell? It's super annoying when you only get enough guidelines to start one every two days.

[slow ermine]

Where are the officer depot tokens in the rewards? I see the icon on the event but they appear to be missing

[civic oak]

Is the ship exp per points nerf going to be addressed? Reminder these used to be 8 pts.

Buildings and defense was also nerfed from 40 to 20.

Thats a 50% nerf

[lost phoenix]

<@&509690795536941056> Help please! I have written to support about my losing Outpost directives - including 3 screenshots. I keep getting messages about getting a gift of 1200 directives. I have received none. I cannot start the Outpost events because we get 300 a day and need 600 to start the BP event. I am DaveAIPhD on server 89. I have written to support about this now for the third time. Please help.

[civic oak]

Here's a screenshot of what the scoring normally is for buildings

[flat cove]

600 RL gone! This is so frustrating! The outpost won't start, the ship is still damaged, but nothing happens. Not even after restarting! How am I supposed to finish the Conqueror outpost if the RL are gone? I have the Elite Pass! I'm so angry!

[jaunty nacelle]

So a few issues with the outposts today: First off I lost 600 credits due to the outpost not allowing my second ship to join, even after rebooting my game a few times, nothing.. so a bit upset on that one.
Second, I’m mining ore in romulan space and the system thinks there is an outpost there… how is it even possible for the developers to mess up so bad that they have elements bleeding into the wrong system like this? This arc has been nothing but an awful nightmare. Already raised a ticket for the loss of credits… I won’t be doing these events anymore. Fix the game and stop adding garbage like this!

[stoic ferry]

I posted this in general-feedback but it is event feedback. WHY are Outpost rated at level 53 when I see ""level 63-67"" forced to do them. I can't even finish it at level 61 with 2B power ships. And you can't use crew that is best against hostiles. We can only use crew that works against yellow enemies. What a waste of SIX LONG HOURS! Just to fail. I can only kill the easy 51 Outpost.

[halcyon kite]

The annual "you're underpowered for your ops level despite pushing everyone to ops up at the expense of actual capabilities" gutcheck events huzzah

[lost phoenix]

4 systems are mentioned thart contain 4 types of outposts for 3 types of that are supposed to score. So can one do an Independent system (like that listed) or will it not count because it is not one of the types (event though listed as a system).

[ocean crypt]

need better descriptions for outpost champions event, we all know what klingons are, but the regional space hostiles - no such space, and the outpost holding, klingon hostiles x2, but which outposts give klingon hostiles, total incompetence with this event

[molten marlin]

regional space is inside the veil

and the event has you hold an outpost and kill kilingon hostiles with another ship

[grizzled pelican]

The veil?

[molten marlin]

g7

[grizzled pelican]

Ah ok, I’m still G5, thats why I don’t know about that.

[opaque hawk]

so, are the credits that the outpost control center generates gonna be useless for g6? cause seems to me we wont get the building to 63 before the 2 months of this event are done. and we can see how slow buildings level when its a once a month event (my war room is still only 43)

[opaque hawk]

ok, guess the chart i saw was wrong, or i read it wrong, thought it showed g6 at 63 not g7
it was me reading it wrong, the number is straight across from the 63, but the whole block covers more space lol, thanks Arsenic
still technically pointless until 60 though (never had an issue with uncommons during g6)

[opaque hawk]

also, dauntless still breaks too often, 3 surges, and i have had to stop and reactivateit 3 times now.......

[gritty haven]

Why is the Cosmic recruit slb not updating?

[upbeat spruce]

idk who decided that the weekend spend slb should only reward officer depot tokens, and not the new officers you just released, but that person should be demoted, if not tarred and feathered

[opaque hawk]

just found a cheese for the get outpost directives from the chest event, if you cap out on directives, you get to pull the maxed chest, which also counts,

[woven tulip]

to max you would have to do no outposts, which means you done none of the battle pass so not really a win 🤔

[modest marsh]

anybody know what i do with this? earned it from the spend materials sms 🤔

[copper shadow]

that's scopley in a nut shell tell players to ops up cause they too low and don't deserve new content(paraphrasing) meanwhile makes it harder to ops up so you rage buy packs or quit either option works for them lol only game I've ever played where it feels like they hate their consumers as much as it seems they do

[tawdry flame]

I can’t do the new missions. Support is informed, but 🙄

[molten marlin]

will be for an upcoming event

[modest marsh]

Thank you, would be helpful if this sort of thing was made clear in game 😬

[errant jetty]

Doing some Research speeding for Research advancement Power points and wonder at the Firangi math involved here.... Can we actually NOT be paying for these Instant buyouts?!?!

Seriously?!? 37k Latinum savings by manual adjustments?!!?

[queen kindle]

Quit using the instant button, it doesn't use existing stockpiles and attempts to buy everything with lat at inflated prices. It's better to use the start button and buying only the speedups with lat.

[wooden sail]

They completely skipped giving me credit for M - Node Imperium Investigation from 11-04-025. Wow - it was easy to complete and yet they are claiming I never completed it..!!

[tranquil crescent]

I was was just typing the same - Really? PvP for a BP event?

( or... oh gosh, 90060 hostile kills!!! )

[vague rapids]

Pvp kills dont count atm😅😂

[copper oak]

900/15=60 😉

[tranquil crescent]

okay, that's slightly better... mis-read it initially... even so! still turns into 18 PvP wins, or 90 losses... however it spins, they have some silly ideas on the numbers

[pliant quail]

is it realta only or somthing? didn't score with my big ship

[queen kindle]

Are you in the right system for your pvp?

[vague rapids]

Right system and no points
System in event says Risa

[pliant quail]

i think its realta

[floral folio]

Surge event for a non-ascended server is not FOMO. It’s cruel. Also please fix titles crowding the chat. It’s making something fun into something annoying

[amber hound]

BP: Scrapping Risa PVP points are not scoring in or out of the PVP system. Only hostile points are scoring.

[placid minnow]

Server 706 hasn't ascended yet either and our ops 70s also have the surge event. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[runic latch]

Gotta love when the game has events with SLB’s that group the OPS below 65 with the above 66, ships are not in the same league, and they are not on the same level!

[stoic linden]

300 starts per day is all we get for outposts that cost 600+ to run and daily events doesn't mix well - up the starts, reduce the costs or spread out the events more so we can get some value out of these things please

[glass nymph]

3 x day @ 300 latinum each + 1 x 3 hour is even cheaper. You can buy an instant result that jumps the queue.

[red plaza]

Try leveling up

[outer dome]

thats for ops 40/41-50 - you, ops 30-39 get janeway

[lost vault]

<@&509690795536941056> please tell scopely to stop gatekeeping the Venge behind Rslb's and an outpost refinery that takes forever and a day to get done, bring back the Heroic SMS's please in regards to both bps and parts

[verbal surge]

A silly title is not a worthy replacement for g6 rare crystal
Stop borking over the players with useless rewards

[errant wind]

They won’t change that , it’s an Auction , they are making a bomb out of it , I know , Lol 😂

[proven juniper]

Please reevaluate the scoring levels in the “Limited time Building and Research Upgrade -SMS” daily.
Just got the 35 this morning, upgraded the Academy, R&D building, Science lab, started the shipyard and I’m not even a third of the way through it. Seems poorly scaled for a 12hr event….really a lot of the spend events are poorly scaled at low levels for the costs of buildings/research. maybe poorly scaled at higher levels too but I wouldn’t know.

[woven tulip]

the daily/weekly are not intended for 100% completion, also there no good at any ops 😏

[proven juniper]

Except they also have it count towards the ahead of the curve event. I realize we don’t have to finish every event that counts for that but having one that is so miss-scaled in the middle blocking one of the options is annoying. Though I guess most of the limited time ones aren’t worth the effort either

Glad to know it’s a thing that never scales right though. 😂

[woven tulip]

You don't need to do 100% of them to complete the META event (You can basically skip the SLB, the Ship/Research/Buildings SMS ones also) timing them with main events is beneficial for extra rewards

[austere bay]

Great design making a SLB where its only possible to score meaningful points by doing borg 3.x solos and polygons (in g6) nothing else even comes close to the score you get from doing them

[hollow lichen]

3 day dealing damage slb, yeah no thanks. grind your nut off for 3 days

[raw adder]

Please add GS-31 Ship parts to the Ferengi Exchange store, thanks 👌

[civic oak]

@queen kindle Season pass has the true values, another example that I think they messed up and changed the battle pass values in error (if you haven't brought it up with them yet)

[craggy gorge]

Another Exiles event where you have to kill 100s of hostiles. Please stop with this nonsense and lower the requirements as it is not fun or appealing

[lime prawn]

First of all, thank you very much for including GS-31 blueprints in this event store, that's a great move!

On the negative front though, the fact that players who took the "instant command" path to unlock it don't have the ability to get a second Junker, while players who followed the "path of patience" do feels like a slap in the face. If you add the ability for all players to obtaing a second one, I'm sure that will help to make sure we don't see purchasing content as a bad move that might lock us out of additional progression later.

[rose ice]

We're 217 days removed from the release of the GS-31. 161 days since the release of the Reliant.

Neither of these ships have parts in the catch-up mechanic event store

This is frustrating compared to the past experience of being able to catch up specialty ships in end-of-arc Event Stores. Also- we know it's possible given that GS-31 bps were added this month

Can someone (GM Connor, a developer, someone) explain why this choice persists? Why we can't catch up with the catch up store mechanic?

[gray stirrup]

Is Latinum Rush sms not scoring? ALB/SLB did. <@&509690795536941056>

[wild pelican]

It scores. Mine was slow to register.

[gray stirrup]

It hasn't for me in an hour. I cleared and rebooted.

[wild pelican]

That's really weird. Hope it sorts out for you.

[stoic linden]

The 53 outposts cost 600 to start - but we only get 300 tickets a day.... How do we get more so we can actually start the half decent ones to actually complete these events that are popping.... daily!

[dawn fossil]

By all means, don’t update the Ferengi store with newer ship parts. No one wants Serene Squall or Reliant parts. 🤦‍♂️

[upbeat harbor]

can we not combine these into one bucket? i missed the outpost champion event yesterday partly due to me not being attentive enough. i might have been able to pay more attention if i didn't need to work to pay for this game 🤣

[delicate pebble]

Its great that the GS31 has been added to the Ferengi Event Store, but where are the ship parts?

[lost vault]

Scopes seem to be real intent on not adding ship parts to said event store, maybe we'll see them in it next year, i'm hoping for squall parts mostly at this point but def wouldn't get my hopes up lol

[wispy echo]

Paid for the “Upgrade Rewards” elite track but can’t claim the rewards. Green checks are there, I claim them and the rewards screen pops up, but no rewards are actually granted.

[gray stirrup]

open a ticket?

[wispy echo]

I have submitted a chat on the help website but don’t really get any feedback that a ticket has been logged outside of “I’m going to put you in touch with a member of the team”

[gray stirrup]

yeah that sounds right. I keep that page open.

[queen kindle]

Was escalated awhile ago, haven't received any comment that it is going to change.

[proven sparrow]

So any type of damage scores on this event even though it says "hostiles"

[upper mango]

Everything scores, but only polys SCORE

[graceful tundra]

Having an event that scores all the way up to g7, but only rewards up to g5 is just a perfect little example of how incredibly dumb this game is getting.

[normal ruin]

MAKE BETTER BRACKETS! I am ops 53…it isn’t fair to compete against a 72! Come on!

[hollow lichen]

Nice to see the ferengi BP being copy pasted over rather than being adjusted with the clear 20K score a day for consistency with the rest of the battlepasses (it makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth even saying there are multiple but that cash cow ship has sailed clearly)

[tired zodiac]

Where is the wave defense? Would rather have that than than stupid outpost thing

[alpine fable]

Baby steps. First the BP. Then maybe in a year or two, parts.

[shut nebula]

I just wanna say thanks a lot for adding the GS-31 into this run of the Ferengi pass.

Just… please no more Augment hostiles grinding. Not everyone’s got a Reliant, so you’re stuck farming 200+ hostiles in Lvl 38 or so space.

[sharp iris]

The outpost drop rate for chests is pathetic 2 chests out of 72 hostiles, how are we meant to pay for the buffs if we cant get the material at this rate ill need to run 100 or so even to get full buffs on one time, get real scopley

[small matrix]

The solution: OPC hunting.

[limber stream]

No, that does nothing. The event scores by killing hostiles not getting loot. He’s right, without a Reliant you can’t kill anything above a 38. So 80% of the server is crammed into 1-2 system fighting over the same slowly spawning hostiles.

[jaunty ingot]

That is only true for lower ops, from ops 46 to 49 I have gone to 42-46 systems with my Pilum

[limber stream]

Yeah, you’re part of the 20% so this doesn’t impact you. The vast majority of players in this game are in G3.

[red plaza]

You're right. Scopely are pushing for all players to be in the 50s. There's no incentive to do so.

[slate stump]

Scopely is not reading ANY of this ..

[tacit zephyr]

If Scopely is dedicated to conducting surveys that they then ignore because they don't read them, imagine what Discord is like for them.

[vague urchin]

Event: 2 Hour Maintenance
Result: Yet another display of gross in comp etance by Scopy, how Path Etic can one group of Moro Ns be? Sad

[delicate pebble]

CotA was a good way to earn extra points in the Ferengi Event Store, and taking this away from G4 without an announced plan for those players to earn more points is disapointing. I hope there is a plan for G4 players and lower to be able to earn more for these event stores. And a repeated note as well, Please bring back the end of arc event stores. They were superior to the Ferengi Event store, which has had too few updates, and does not have as much utility as it could.

[snow solstice]

Domination events are not scoring.

[lament jewel]

“Inflicted Damage” Outpost event not scoring

[lone crater]

no events, even dailies are not scoring

[plucky pawn]

How about almost every freaking leader board since update being a RLB...great now I don't just have to compete against the whales on my server but everyone else who spends thousands.
Not only that, the rewards are the SAME as the previous SLB and most are even worse!
Message received: Not gona drop bank Scopley says no rewards for you!!!
...oh and if you do manage to score we got stingy rewards for those guys!
WTF....do they want us to quit???

Hey there folks, the rest of us who spend a little, regularly, or not much (sorry f2p, but we like you too) make up the majority of your player base! How about a little love and consideration for US!!!

[woeful whale]

Can this event have more milestones? Not changed point values on the existing milestones. Just more of them. I’ve got 20 days when nothing I do scores because it’s all done.

It’s just passive power gains. I haven’t intentionally targeted this event. Happens every time. Usually between 18 and 20 days before the event ends I finish.

[shut nebula]

OPC hunting ain’t helping for that Augment hostiles event

Besides, I got way more than enough splicers long ago, no OPC needed.

[pseudo stump]

Can we get Borg Cube blueprints added back to the Ferengi Exchange store? I was able to pick up half of them last month and was planning on getting the rest this month but they aren't there. Thanks

[small matrix]

I thought it's about getting the Reliant blueprints. But your are right about the events. Just ignore them like all those events with unrealistic high bars demanding zigzillion hostile kills.

[shut nebula]

Problem is it gives battlepass points, and I kinda need those.

Anyway, the biggest bottleneck I have now isn’t even getting the splicers. It’s SPENDING them. Being limited to 1 bundle of 2BPs a day forces me to wait a whole stupid 100 days for a ship I coulda gotten within a month.

These 10m splicers have rusted up pretty hard by now, and I’m still 5 days away. They need to stop this 200BP model and make actually obtainable ships.

[small matrix]

Well, I'm at OPS60, did each Discovery event and claimed each refinery rewards. Just a month ago I finished the Discovery on top tier but still I need to collect the spore drive components to finish the research for the USS Discovery Summoning. I know exactly how you feel.

[shut nebula]

Oh yeah don’t even get me started on part sourcing, especially if you’re playing catch-up to people who got it earlier.

My impending Reliant’s gonna take even more out of me to upgrade because I didn’t buy it Day 1 release, and actually I was taking a hiatus from the game at the time because it was that rough along the edges and I just didn’t wanna play anymore (which was unfortunate because I missed the anniversary lol).

I came back because I wanted to try STFC again, if by some miracle the game fixed itself up, but that bar is yet to be cleared.

And the 200 BPs model sucks.

[pallid bloom]

The New cota scoring is pretty horrible.
Why did Scopely remove all the scoring from other special building and only score with new ones...
Making extremely difficult to complete SMS...

[pure skiff]

Absolute joke, DTI credits no longer included in the chronicle event is ridiculous, well done for further annoying the player base

[shut nebula]

…oh god.

Well at least I got 6 days for this, but come on.

[viral socket]

That is what I call a nerf

[signal ferry]

Don't forget they removed Nova Squadron, IA building, War Room, DTI Building and District 56

[sacred scarab]

Y'all cut the building upgrade event down to 3 buildings...

[pallid bloom]

Even reduce points on some of new building like Racon and Transogen is pretty big nerf move.

Feel like all these dev don't play this game at all.

[sacred sail]

Each event is getting worse. Payouts are a joke. They want us to quit the game. Nobody can be that ignorant and stupid

[tribal meadow]

Not enough outposts to go around. Stuff this, you can keep your crap.

[rapid eagle]

uh <@&509690795536941056> this is a crazy change from the last Cota event. this is what it was the last go around:

And todays looks like this:

[simple helm]

<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> Ferengi bp event missing, relogged and checked both season passes tab and events tab. Ops 50 for reference.

[molten marlin]

has been raised

[plucky cove]

<@&509690795536941056> what the actual **** was scopely thinking with this change to CotA? Way to totally burn your players

[sacred scarab]

They're trying to refocus people on spending mats to do it thinking they'll buy packs rather than get irritated and not engage. The same stupid tactic that they've been doing all year that's driving out the people who do pay. I've never seen a company try so hard to strangle the golden goose

[meager herald]

<@&509690795536941056> Vengeance is mine event is back with the same pathetic scoring system as last time…..nothing there to entice us to spend on this game…..revert it back to the better scoring system of earlier events or I won’t spend another penny

[gritty haven]

Where is the ferengi event for today?

[grave charm]

Yeah, sure, most people won't even manage to do the SMS. Where are the other special buildings and stuff?

[fiery depot]

I'mma be honest, not really liking the changes to Chronical of the Ascendant. Way to screw your player-base

[hasty crater]

Ferengi Pass Daily Event Missing 👈

[errant chasm]

#FreeChronicle

[tribal meadow]

Communityy managers got no clout with Scopely. These discord channels are uterly useless. Nothing gets raised or listened to

[bitter bough]

Chronicle of the Ascendant scoring with only 3 buildings is 💩 move and to remove all the other buildings is a bad move

[limpid galleon]

Chronicle if the ascendant is trash now. Thx scopely. People are planning and you just give a 💩

[eternal arch]

Surely someone meant to add those new options to the list and accidentally deleted the old ones.
CotA is the only event I have looked forward to every month for the past few arcs. If this is how it looks next month, I will likely have a lot more free time on my hands in 2026

edit: I hadnt even noticed the scoring error losing me 3 sms milestones...

[plucky cove]

@near saddle Lots of folks (like me!) are pretty darn upset over Scopely’s decision to totally screw us over with changes to the CotA event. It’s moves like this that make us feel devalued and disrespected. Does scopely really think we’ll spend $ to buy mats for this event? Because the more they treat us like ATMs instead of a community of players the less likely we are to spend money, and the more likely we are to just walk away from the game. If they listen to you & the other mods at all, I hope you pass along just how frustrated we are at how we’re being treated.

[wise rapids]

Completely agree, while it was certainly done as a cash grab, there are far more of us who will refuse to spend on anything when they pull this kind of thing than the few that it will drive to spend...and before this I was thinking of getting one of the bp this month. Not anymore. <@&509690795536941056> If you guys keep doing this sort of thing a lot of us will not only stop spending but stop playing too.

[viral socket]

It’s one thing to maybe remove one old mat to replace it with a new one, but all of them? With no warning? Players have been saving those mats for a month waiting for this event and now they are a month behind on progression for those buildings for nothing

[normal cove]

elite rewards for retribution battlepass are still screwed up and not being able to get collected thou they show checked off <@&509690795536941056>

[bitter basalt]

@near saddle@molten marlin Not cool to reduce the number of specialty buildings we can use on Day 1 of Ascendant event, trying to force players to buy packs, it might backfire on scopley

[pseudo compass]

What's up with nerfing the Ferengi BP event with outpost? There are much too few ones so lots of players are bound to miss out.

[strong anchor]

Thanks (not) for removing most of the specialized building upgrades from the Ascendant event. You’ve effectively made it pay to play — which really is another innovation to leave the game

[sharp hollow]

Upgraded from lvl16 to lvl 17 using roughly 2000 cores .... <@&509690795536941056> , @near saddle , notice something missing from the scoring ??? I SURE DO

[molten marlin]

this has been raised

[viral socket]

<@&509690795536941056> Did they all get nerfed? Can you give us a preview of what the research and ship events will be so we can decide whether we want to work on our ships now instead of waiting and finding out they won’t score?

[simple helm]

Is the FKR Favor Event Ticket that was from completing the cosmic choice SMS supposed to be the same as the Reputable Reasonable Ticket? To allow us to opt into an extra event is in its description and it says week 2? It really seems like that was its intent based on context clues but does not function as such. Or is the event for this not released yet?

[forest moat]

Missing from mine as well

[pastel swan]

Scopely does not like us to save stuff for events. So they will not tell you. They want you to spend everything all the time and buy packs for events so 💩

[acoustic zephyr]

Same here upgraded 11 outpost levels no points for sms

[winged niche]

It's too hard complete Shing song BP event because of lower point system we need Regular events Not these types events in BP it's too Time Consumed event Miss the last BP points 😭😭

[tawny falcon]

Now this makes me wonder what the other events are going to be. Will we only score for upgrading new FTs and new Ships?

[ashen notch]

Holy pile of awful event scoring and rewards Batman... seriously, it gets worse every week. I'm pretty much over it. Love how we get told they are trying to make things more progression focused, but literally doing everything they can to make progression harder.

[hallow acorn]

These Chronicle events are difficult and you continue to make each new one more difficult to complete. This one is straight P2P.

[small heron]

Why would you not count the other buildings too and make this event fun? This is a terrible change and I can't see many people pushing to complete it. DTI and Galactic acclaim used to be in there too.

[patent dust]

Taking all those speciality buildings out of event was a huge mistake (after everyone has been not upgrading and saving them for events) .... and changing the dynamic dti/augment credits changing as well .... if your goal is to lose more players .... then well done ... i think these sorts of actions will certainly be putting the nail in the coffin .... as well as oh yes ferenghi pass missing .... give yourselves a good pat on the back ... job well done !!!!

[dawn heath]

add more buildings to cota sms fkrs

[manic crest]

Why scoply are you trying to kill the game. These moves on every event show nothing but that is the case. There's no way anyone could have thought removing all the scoring metrics for COTA was a positive sentiment to playerbase. I get company has to make money but at the expense of the F2P and light spenders to not complete events is getting ridiculous. Please stop killing the game. Please 🙏

[flint dirge]

Your nerf to chronicles scoring is complete trash, keep pushing the spending angle and you will soon have no player base. Then again maybe that's exactly what you are trying to do with poor game decisions becoming the norm.

[shadow ermine]

The scoring for this CotA is absolute garbage, at least leave in the DTI credits so people can finish the SMS...

[eternal arch]

I think the thing that frustrates me the most about the CotA change is that it feels like goes against the entire theme of the event run.
It's a Chronicle of The Ascendent - an epic event that records the journey and growth of stfc commanders. I understand that not everything is perfectly tied to the lore in this game, but for once it was actually fairly fitting.

It's been a tangible way of tracking out progress and rewarding us for milestones in ways that all of the other events don't. If anything I was hoping to see things like ex-borg credits added in, because that was such a massive faction store that I know a lot of the player base is still upgrading.

[wanton hearth]

GM Connor has some explaining to do. I understand having to move windows with new things coming out but outright deleting things without new things in the window is silly and hurtful to the player base

[neon terrace]

Congratulations killing CoA. Just give back original Tiered spending event for new officer. I don't need garbage officer choice token.

[ashen notch]

You assume they care if people finish events. They don't. Making you spend to complete is their goal, always has been, just getting more desperate and obvious as of late.

[shadow ermine]

I get that and also old stuff eventually phasing out. I don't like it because it takes little to none spenders' ability to save up and place their bets on an officer they like.
Imagine you save your credits for 2 months or more and then can't score any more when you're looking forward to getting the current officer. Really frustrating

[woeful smelt]

Yep.spend a whole arc saving ready to go from ops 67 to 68 for more specialty buildings to score and now none of them count what a joke

[viscid thorn]

They really need to learn how to communicate. This is just rediculess..there would be more accaptance with a slow phase out of old currency. So people would actually See what is loosing value. Just removing all old curreny is again a clear sign of bad design and no underetanding of the game

[pastel swan]

What would have been wrong with „adding new stuff (building, currency, ..) and pushing out the oldest in the queue“ ?! How can anyone think it is a good idea to clear out ALL the old stuff at once? I would like to get a footage of one of those meetings where something like this gets decided. Must be a hell of a party such a meeting….

[charred wing]

This is utterly ridiculous, they have phased out everything except the last 2 arcs. F2P people will only recently have been able to even get the Reliant and Squall seriously reducing their ability to even score in this event. If you havent engaged fully with outposts AND saved up the building parts theres very little you can score with.

[jolly condor]

Q trails button seems to be gone

[severe relic]

Damn, you brought receipts.

[pure skiff]

And as usual, no one stepping forward to answer for their crimes against CoTA scoring, they hide away

[lost vault]

<@&509690795536941056> I am glad the Venge is Mine Heroic SMS is back for bps, but it never should have been removed and the participants of last Venge Rslb got screwed not being able to have gained bps from and sms cause scopely cannot make their minds up... wish i hadn't gone hard on that rslb and just waited, probably could have got venge via this SMS rip... oh well, i'll try for it end of month or something

[molten mantle]

the good old times... 😩

[stone glade]

COTA ... thanks for nothing

[brisk bough]

<@&509690795536941056> I want to add my thanks for giving back Vengeance is Mine SMS for bps, but seriously, you have to adjust the scores higher for g6. Even if I tier my Ent-E from 8.5 to 9 today, that's only 180k towards the first whopping 1.52 million milestone. I'm only just 71, none of my buildings want uncommon or rare g7, let common count! Be more generous with those pixels!

[grave charm]

The calculation is simply wrong! I spent 15k c Outpost cores and should have over 100M points according to Scopely (15,000 x 6,718). Scopely can't do math! <@&509690795536941056>

[molten marlin]

It's being looked into

[molten mantle]

<@&509690795536941056> good catch! should have scored 62m+ ^^

[obsidian fossil]

it seems to me like uncommon control cores are specifically not part of scoring. just common and rare.. for some reason?

[woeful smelt]

They probably forgot there are uncommon ones 🤣🤣

[eternal arch]

my common didnt score properly either

[grave charm]

sorry meaning common

[fallow patio]

There are NO Uncommon cores, the outpost control bldg always needs Common cores and at lvl51 it starts requiring Rare cores as well as Common. Never any Uncommon.

[woeful smelt]

Ah ok good to know not looked that far

[obsidian fossil]

???

[molten marlin]

Those are not cores

[fallow patio]

Those aren’t cores for upgrading the bldg itself. Those are “components” for upgrading the buffs on the outpost when your holding it. Not the same thing, and the buff components don’t count on the events.

[turbid fjord]

Echoing the sentiment that you have killed CotA by removing scoring for DTI credits, access keys and galactic acclaim. I mean might as well just sell a pack or two to complete the event.

[molten mantle]

nxt time please..

[obsidian fossil]

So you only get to complete if you pay money. Got it.

[grave charm]

I hope this will be completely recalculated and the score updated, because I not only spent 15k outpost cores, but also recon locus schematics and transogen forge foundation.

[hollow lichen]

at this point its too late, this is the final nail in the coffin for a lot of people on our server so congrats to you for that. and you wonder why income is down

[neon terrace]

I feel much better. These infos help calm down everybody.

[modern spade]

How to lose friends and (negatively) influence ppl. They read the book wrong.
Chasing us away..

[untold zephyr]

these are more the true value of the event scoring 😄

[grave charm]

So many of our players pay a lot of money, and then they and those who don't spend as much or anything at all are cheated out of points. That's going too far.

[modern spade]

The head of whomever made these decisions should be served up on a silver platter, and then liberally punted around in a 125k-a-side player soccer game.
Or maybe 100k-a-side now.
Can’t imagine players aren’t still fleeing this sinking ship at a sustained pace given the way things have been going.
Seems Scopely takes absolutely EVERY opportunity they can to antagonise the player base.

[sour sapphire]

Just adding to the pile, the updated COTA event today is terrible, my alliance hates it. Golf claps for whoever came up with this great idea 😖

[mellow fjord]

If you cant be bothered to make the event good again then please just make it 1 week and not only 48 hours.

[floral folio]

I have been saving and looking forward to COTA. I am insulted. Reducing the ways to score in reoccurring events does not make me want to participate in them. I do spend to win - but when you make it feel forced by reducing options I feel cheated and will not spend to participate.

[tropic mantle]

This event was quite difficult if you don't have the latest augment ship, which I don't have

[sterile sail]

Read above, that event was ludicrous WITH having the ship

[granite mantle]

This is the (ferengi) way! 🤣🤣

[dapper halo]

Waves are still broken

First stopped sending ships in Wave 3/5, then re-docked my ships

Second crashed in Wave 1 first attack, check Internet, restarted game, ships were all back in dock

[molten mantle]

Rule 62: "The riskier the road, the greater the profit," 🤪

[placid fossil]

Which is why I’ve accepted that I’m not competing any more.

[sharp hollow]

Any updates on the Vengeance SmS not scoring your Control Center Cores?

[azure gazelle]

Why are there so little possibilities to score in the "Chronicles of the ascendant"? This way the 80 M I have to score are WAY out of reach... don't understand... this game is supposed to be entertaining not punishing...
I have collected DTI credits - now you change the scoring??? What an E.V..I.L decision of yours... (don't know how to write how angry I am without being blocked...)

[gusty rock]

it's truly sad that you guys ($copely) are killing off any strategic element in this game

[patent star]

I'm really disappointed with the CotA. If you were going to remove so many ways to score, you should have dropped the tiers so that it was achievable with some planning. The communication and execution of events is really frustrating.

[molten mantle]

The Unwritten Rule: Create a new rule if an existing one doesn't fit... 🫣 Let's hope that after some well deserved rest, we get a bit of clarity regarding the changes made around CotA.. and perhaps.. the rest ✨ 😉

[sweet valve]

Usually half the points for me came from all the stuff they removed. Now it’s completely out of reach to complete no matter how much I try to hoard for a month.

[visual swallow]

they made it impossible for f2p players to complete the sms... scopely is in a true war against f2p, that is what it is

[grizzled owl]

did you get anything for this event?

I didn't get anything and spent a crap load of resources

[errant chasm]

Foundations of Power was a scoring display issue? Really? #🛠-known-issues message

[high aurora]

133k G6 uncommon for ops 69 choniclllle event today...lmao. You guys can't be serious?

[craggy elm]

About 106k G6 rare for Ops71.
They totally lost control.

[patent star]

I'm in the exact same boat. I might have had to stretch before but now it's completely impossible. Even battle pass purchasers can't complete it. This is really geared towards getting someone to buy multiple packs of something. I'd like Scopely to recognize that it would do better providing a path for hard core F2P to complete rather than shutting them out entirely. By excluding them from events, they eliminate people they need to keep the game going. Why would spenders spend only to play alone?

[high aurora]

Chronicles of the AMEX now....sigh

[woven kettle]

You can’t simply call “display issue” and leave it at that when people took action based on scoring we were told would happen. Additionally, I see people did get the inflated scoring (that’s now being called a display issue) if they upgraded shortly after event launched. So it wasn’t a display issue. You changed the scoring. How is that fair to anyone? This on top of removing so many of the scoring options.

[hollow lichen]

wow that's some tone deaf solution, slow clap

[past cobalt]

How awful is the new event I’ve not even reached prize stage 3 let alone four I’m out of everything and now out materials which will screw me for the rest of the event in coming days

Absolutely unrealistic for players without spending stupid cash

Bleeding fun right out the game shocking decisions and even if they fix it everyone resources gone trying to do first day as it’s screwed

Or add outposts which players can’t do because they are hogged by bigger players or overpowered

Really need give heads a wobble. Wounded how many players will quit or refuse to play or spend anything after last couple weeks

One way kill game make it impossible to compete or have fun

[upbeat harbor]

@full swan <@&509691205798592532> is it my imagination or are we missing ~11 other ways to score in the Foundations of Power SLB? Is this intentional or a whoopsie. and if it's intentional should we expect the same pruning in the following days of the meta?

[queen kindle]

Until they release the planned schedule, the only scoring that looks firm is the card for mat spend. Last I heard about today's event, they're investigating.

[indigo oracle]

Investigating my stopped using of the cashshop

[oblique adder]

Scopely dont want players anymore

[civic pasture]

almost guaranteed that older content will no longer score. i expect that many who finished the sms before will not be able to do it this time.

[queen hearth]

first COTA event sucks.

[oak crescent]

that sentence could be simplified: COTA events suck

[brave wigeon]

Done spending anything now.

[long solstice]

Yep tired of this the one event that was kinda fun and i was looking forward to got changed to a spend only. If you cant do day 1 of a 7 day event might as well ignore the rest is how i feel.

[twilit adder]

Guess COTA is going to be trash now too.

[long solstice]

Yep they can keep their virtual trash and i will keep my real money!

[novel oak]

Unreal how much this company hates its players! Is there some reason you screwed us all over by ruining the CotA events?

[livid yarrow]

Outposts are really dumb. The changes to the COTA event are an epic fail. Great job as always scopely 👎

[strong anchor]

If every new and “updated” event offers nothing but frustration and boredom, what’s the purpose of the game supposed to be? To grit our teeth and try not to yawn too much?

[winter grotto]

Oof, well I thought I was the only one having issues with this event, guess it was an intended change, highly questionable TBH.

[novel oak]

Not just you, they just felt the need to ruin a good event

[sinful heart]

I think this picture says a lot about this event. (Ops 64, Server 8, and I won the CoTA for my level last time)

[hushed otter]

This will be the first cota sms I won’t be able to complete except the weekend spend material one last month. 🥲

[rapid eagle]

why even bother putting this out now? the damage is already done. The only acceptable post would have started with an apology. Also, this reads like it was meant to be released to people before COTA actually started...not half way though day 1 of the event

[queen kindle]

More info about the upcoming event is good, even if it's bad news.

[sacred scarab]

Honestly, why even bother putting the events out now? Almost every path to scoring in them has been removed, why bother?

[dusky mortar]

removing the scoring from the Chronicle events is total BS move. UNSATISFIED. Scopely keeps doing things (and not doing things) to make me wanna quit.

[limber zephyr]

Chronicles needs to be renamed to Chronicle of the Spender now

[lyric quiver]

This info should have come out during the previous run of ascendant

[static star]

Total trash to pull all the scoring. If they don't count anymore put out an archive for it.

[obsidian fossil]

if gorn, vindicator, nsea, et al are being removed from scoring events, does that mean we are going to be seeing them enter the independent archives? why do i think not. lol

[sacred scarab]

your "upgrade everything you have as high as it can go" event has suddenly turned into "upgrade one thing maybe a level or two, if you bought the pack"

Also the only ships that count now seem to be ships you can't get parts for in the ferengi event store....how convenient. I get now why gs-31 and reliant were never added to the store

[sand geyser]

Live ops hates the players.

[novel oak]

Well to be fair, I think the whole company does

[small heron]

Why even have events if we can't even use what we have to score in them. I can't be the only one who was saving all of these things for a fun event to only have the wind taken out of my sail <@&509690795536941056>

[lyric quiver]

Only to the extent that it’s weak damage control for Scopely, how is knowing now “good” for any player

[neat thorn]

COTA is now a paid event. Thanks for ruining my month.

[sacred scarab]

They took a chainsaw to this event. Can't even call it a nerf, they just completely gutted it

[queen kindle]

Knowing CT mats probably won't be used in future cota events means I don't need to hoard them, especially since there's an slb today. The value of older specialty ships staying as they are will also drop accordingly. In all likelihood, we'll get new ship scoring off of newer specialty ships and that helps me plan for future scoring.

Also now that most scoring has been stripped, the value of mats has gone up, and so has the 2x final event.

The earlier this info would come out, the better it is for planners.

[meager moss]

You hv taken to many thinga from chronicles of descent. Morale in game is low , you trying to make it lower?

[sand geyser]

Yes.

[molten ridge]

Chronicle of the ascendant changes are bad and I don’t like them.

[lyric quiver]

The time to know they wouldn’t score in future events was when they still had value for scoring, not finding out after the fact, that’s how it would have been better for planners, bc people who plan things out don’t appreciate learning that their planning was pointless after the fact

[queen kindle]

The current set of events aren't good for players, that's very much true. But the info is appreciated.

[dark jewel]

So I'm not really understanding the scoring changes, but why don't you just change it to say whoever spends the most money gets the rewards? I mean you've removed normal things that normally should score.

[oblique adder]

U cant defend this, no warning, and why drop all that at once u could have done one or 2 to make room for new and keep it rotating not turn it into pay to play

[sullen coral]

I have to say sir/madam, it's both brave & impressive to shill for Scopely today. 👏👏👏

[queen kindle]

Who said I'm defending it. I don't like the change either. But they were going to do this either way, with or without giving us planning information.

[halcyon kite]

Planning lmao

[upbeat harbor]

not to be a 🍆 about it.... but a heads up would have been literally any point before 3/4 of the way through Day 1.

[indigo cliff]

OPs 60 here. I know it's not the fault of the <@&509690795536941056> and you other mods, but just a heads up. Please tell the hidden voices whispering that folks are going to spend to ops up to compete in events structured like Chronicle of the 'Ascendant", have lost touch with the spenders. Folks are not going to, or are, spending to compete in these events. Look at the lackluster reception G7 has gotten. Who ever is talking to upper managment, and think the players are "wallets" to dip into whenever they feel like it, needs to be removed. DIGIT has quickly moved all the big events to G5 or better, and you know what? Nobody cares. You are systematically removing any motivation to ops up, by telling newer folks they don't matter enough to compete. I really hope for this game, because at the heart of it, it's a fun game with a great community, but trying to force people's hand, and wallets, is going to go over as well as the Vengeance. Yeah, remember that? You've already chased away those whales, don't do your best to chase the rest of us off.

[stiff meadow]

I spent encursions loot on what is now a non scoring building. And I win encursions slbs. That look could have been spent on fc Lorca a scoring currency..... at least its for a worthless officer.

[opaque hawk]

thanks for killing chronicles, after killing normal weekend slbs with it. might as well just replace the event with a link to the store

[pallid bloom]

Wait until you see if they remove FC Lorca from scoring as well lol

Folks already think the rest of cota might just get worse. I mean we told them that it was impossible to complete Day 5 SMS for spending events. They listened to it, and they make it even harder to complete Day 1 SMS now lol

Edit my statement : they just published the upcoming cota SMS/SLB in ingame announcement 40 mins ago. FC Lorca is still there, but FC Sloan is gone. Multiple changes for sure.

And yes, it's getting really worse...

[strong anchor]

• Dull arc.
• Gutted & endullified Chronicles.
• Another tedious loop.

If STFC were to launch today as-is, would players find enough fun in it to stick around?

😒 please

As many have said, I’m still playing largely to be with my teammates. But I’m also playing bc I’ve been invested in my progress over the years.

But this game feels like it’s grinding to a halt. And it’s totally unnecessary.

[stark warren]

Fortunately I had yet to spend any money when Scopeless swooped in and said, ‘No Justin, you can’t have any fun either.’ This game is hanging on for dear life and these stooges just can’t let us enjoy it.

[twilit adder]

If the goal for 2025 was to destroy the game Scopely has done an amazing job. Half the whales from the two biggest alliances on my server have left in recent months.

[pallid bloom]

Disappointing is far beyond what I can express. I mean as a newly progress player from 50 to 54 before this arc starts, Scopely really kills the fun of cota. I am glad I moved up because Scopely removed Cota from g4 players. And now Scopely removed all the scoring that we care... Remove CT from scoring and throw this CT SLB with first place price as 5 BP of Epic officer is really a joke. Completely the wrong way for driving revenue. And then now you guys want us to fill up another survey.... I mean if you actually played the game, you would know the feedback by now already ...

[wise rapids]

Honestly, this is the sort of tone deaf response that is exactly why this game will eventually die and why a lot of us won't spend this month...and are seriously considering quitting. I'm ops 65, and most of my other special buildings were maxed up to my previous ops level before this event. However, cutting all of these methods of scoring was the wrong choice. While telling us for the rest of the event that it's been completely nerffed is sort of damage control it is the wrong choice. <@&509690795536941056> reverse the scoring changes and at least tell us before you cut scoring (at least the event that scores beforehand) if you ever do anything this stupid in the future.

[sacred scarab]

But this game feels like it’s grinding to a halt. And it’s totally unnecessary.

I guarantee that management is pretending to investors that this is just the natural life cycle of mobile games rather than admit they're driving it into the ground through incompetence or malice

[cedar bay]

Gutting CotA isn’t going to create spenders. It’s going to make people unhappy and play less - which makes you less money and the game less fun. This seems like it would be obvious.

[sinful heart]

Why did we have to be there n a “test Vault” instead of a control Vault. 🙄

[lavish basalt]

Thumbing through events today, I can see only a couple I can do without spending. 85% are ‘heroic’ SLB or RLB.

Enjoyed a nice day off, went for a drive, replaced a couple of light fixtures around the house, enjoyed a neighbourhood walk, cooked some dinner, now gonna watch a movie.

[thin void]

Do you want to make folks angry and quit? Because this is how you do it

[oblique adder]

Too late

[stoic linden]

Scopely you really need to come to the party here. Taking things away is not how you look after your players and the latest cota announcement isn't it at all. It's time you give back to the community for a change. We really need a morale boost

[pale oak]

At this point Scopely would have been better off renaming the event to something else.

When Faction Hunt is announced we know what we're gonna be doing ahead of time. Same for incursions. Or mega cube. Or mining Monday. Or any of the other infinitely recurring daily events.

We don't get up one Wednesday and suddenly have the Xindi final weapon event ask us to kill doomsday worms.

You announced chronicle of the ascendant, people had expectations based on however many months the event has been running now, and this is now quite simply not that event any more.

[errant chasm]

They are really racking up ill-will points here.

[delicate raven]

Is there a reason why the new TC Trailblazer started after our TD today, meaning that we got zero points for it?

[ashen notch]

Pretty much took out 80% of the scoring options. Definitely killed COTA. I will be ignoring these events for sure... it's not like the rewards were worth the effort before they made it worse, so easy skip

[limpid galleon]

i was really putting thought into which one of the BPs i will buy this month. thx scopely for easing my choise, i won't buy neither.

(and the message you just deleted was really on point. shame on you)

[high aurora]

Congratulations on making this event DOA now for the playerbase

Scopely: "We've made this event paid only" "Chronicles of the AMEX"

[grand fulcrum]

<@&509690795536941056> Vindicator should not be removed from CoTA scoring even if you bought it on day1 it takes 18 months to max unless you spend $$$ on parts and the ship has only been out a year

[hollow pier]

Just going to add to the chorus of voices saying how bad the changes to 'COTA' are.
Not to mention it's for a useless PvP officer as well...

This one won't be being completed by me or anyone who values their credit card balance.

[fiery depot]

Well screw me 😂. Guess Scopley just hates the players. I've given a lot of leniency over the past several months, but screwing the player base out of a, frankly worse Event store than was previously in the game. I will not be contributing a single cent to this game until some changes are made FOR THE BETTER.

[neon terrace]

They warned us in January... They said it will be the year of hell. Pretty accurate. So far the worst year. So many thing taken away.

[dreamy solstice]

incompetent scopely, you have made the outpost that hard, that all the ops 60s are down in the low 50 outposts and cannot get 1 for an overnight 6hr stint, as 6hrs throughout the day is not a viable option, you lot certainly never think anything through before you implement anything, well looks like will never be doing outposts as not convienent timewise, and not enough 51 outposts, as cannot last in any other outpost, keep up the incompetent work, will only drive away many more players

[tacit tangle]

Scopley, remember when you tried to remove the previous generations of material for the spend event? Remember how well that went for yall? So why try it again with the CotA? You are killing any semblance of fun which will get people to shut their wallets not open them.

[languid ice]

COTA was actually a decent event until the scoring was gutted.

[stoic linden]

100% #freecota

[indigo oracle]

<@&509690795536941056>
Scopley removed everything that i holded back for nearly a month for the cota event.
I didnt upgraded my borg cube... i cut down my progress for weeks only for cota and now scopley you kick me in my testicles
Ty for nothing
I will never ever spend any money in your games again

[long cedar]

Why did you get rid of so many things that allow us to move forward properly...? We're fed up with you constantly changing your minds. We prepare for nothing in the end.

[craggy elm]

<@&509690795536941056>

And this is exactly how a lot of us feel.

• Some players like to prepare and play strategical.
• They also buy stuff but they check if it's worth long term
• We cannot rely on anything here anymore.
• This kills the fun and engagement.
• Players stop spending and reduce their engagement

[sacred goblet]

Let me fast transalte this to human language.

We listen our whales, they were crying that they buying new stuff etc at the start point.
They were crying that others shouldn't get it faster than in 3 months or pay it only.
And we decide to do something about it.
As the only way for you to score were hoarding parts above, we decide to take it away from scoring.
So you gonna wait 3 months for new officer or you can always buy it out.
This change is only to make happy **whales * and maybe earn extra money

LLAP

[nova aspen]

☝️ 💯 % You have screwed over the normal player and it's disgusting. that you have removed the scoring items. You wonder why people are leaving the game it's because of stupidity like this. And that fact you mess everything up. If I was a swearing person nowadays this would be full of swearing words.

[long cedar]

https://tenor.com/view/lenin-must-crush-capitalism-undead-communist-communism-gif-20636305

[hollow pier]

Well, kinda... It was until the last SMS with a ridiculously high bar to complete...

[proven night]

And a other event get killed by you, well done, well done…👏

[eternal arch]

Y'all really went boldly releasing the community feedback survey in the same news update as the Chronicle event gutting post🤔

[hollow lichen]

because they know people are too fed up to bother filling out a 30 minute or more survey that gets 0 results out of it anyway

[pure skiff]

The bigger kick out of this is by getting rid of these scoring avenues for CoTA, they are reducing the amount of event store currency we can earn, and therefore locking us out of the rewards we normally would've purchased in the store, so they have screwed us out of potentially getting Nog finished and causing us to afford less in the event store overall - the fact that they then doubled down after all of the complaints by announcing even more cuts in scoring avenues for the upcoming CoTA events is unquestionable evidence that they just don't care about anyone that isn't throwing money at them, if they really want to increase their income that badly they should start an OF and turn off the game

[scenic flint]

These milestones are too dam high. And I generally like these events and have pushed to complete them in the past.

[tacit tangle]

They were not even going to tell us, a cm had to fight them to announce the changes at all. Then the scoring that was listed was incorrect so people bought packs thinking it would complete the sms but it didn't so the quietly changed the listed scoring to what was actually scoring a few hours later with no plans to compensate

[main marlin]

Removing the scoring doesnt even make sense for what the event was meant to be: a big blow out to upgrade everything to get players moving higher. Now half of the methods are gone, and the points are the same. It may as well just be 5 days of spend materials now. Easy skip.

[polar tapir]

I saved for a month for the CoTA event and now it's all worth zero points to Scopley. Well you won't be getting my money this month now. Maybe ever again. Three buildings from 70 too. Such a dumb unforced error due to your greed.

[chrome bane]

I took the time to do the survey and echo all the sentiments here. Not sure it will do anything but I agree with you people.

[eternal stag]

100% agree. Now like 85% of what I saved is worth nothing for these events. No prior warning, no nothing. Just ridiculousness. It would have been fine if the spending for CotA was actually different every month, but all its ever been was adding to the scoring, not changing/removing things. And there STILL isn't
even a posted schedule up for CotA....

[high aurora]

Whoever made the decision to change the Scoring Metrics for COTA has clearly fulfilled their Original intended purpose and should be treated just like those items in game are.

[vagrant topaz]

%100 many of my servers most active players have either quit all together or barely log in now. Dedicated players of over 4 yrs. Spending players. Gone.

[proven sparrow]

Well done on Destroying an engaging event.
There is only one person in my whole bracket (56-60) on my server that was able to complete the SMS to score on the Meta.
I usually Purchase the Ferengi Exchange Pass along with the usual but since this event has shown me how low Scopley is willing to go to bleed money from people
You no longer deserve money from me.
If the only way we get anything new anymore is by being forced to spend and can get nothing free, then you clearly do not care for your community and have destroyed all my faith in the future for this game

[vagrant topaz]

So far only 2 66-70(maybe I'm not positive on the brackets) on mine have finished. I'm not spending mats on this or I might be able to

[delicate pebble]

If you are going to remove WOK Saavik from the Ferengi event store, can you please add her to the Depot Token store? She currently doesn't have sourcing.

[still nimbus]

The #1 player in my bracket has completed 25% of the Foundations of Power milestone.
If you hoped that people would start spending money to complete these bull💩 events you are mistaken.
This is the kind of move that kills off the game. If we don't know what we can expect, we will not pay. What may be worth "much" today can be worthless tomorrow. This is the kind of uncertainty that drives players and spenders away.

[manic nexus]

They don't care about the survey either. Nothing ever comes from those. 1 star review on app store with detailed reasons for the world to see? May impact revenue, so likely have more impact (just fyi)

[proven sparrow]

They lost their whales from what they did to the game, but instead of fixing the issues they were not happy with they thought they would make up for that loss in revenue by passing the buck onto the rest of the community.
Guess they rather make 2025 the final year for STFC

[oblique adder]

Haha 2 hrs to go and only 2 ppl have completed foundations of power sms

[pale mulch]

I think ppl are getting sick and tired of the current Scopely model 1 month new building and problems next month, new ship meant to solve said problem as long as you spend a couple of grand. Also, what happened to 3-5 month arcs and end of arc Stores that ppl would look forward to? The best days of this game are behind us, I fear. It's all about 💵 💳 and less fun for all. Even the whales are fed up.

[elfin compass]

I bought builders/researchers at the beginning but that's pretty much it.

[long solstice]

What makes it worse is the ships dont work for G7 and to upgrade them to be useable for lower spenders in the late 60s isnt economical so the new ships are not appealing to spenders either. What good is a dauntless to a 71 when it cant kill 71 reds?

[karmic sky]

Scopely, what is the point of changing SMS so that no one in a bracket can finish.
I understand wanting to make it competitive, but when you have servers with brackets that not ONE single player has it finished, the issue is the standard scopely set, not the players trying to do them.

[fickle peak]

Sounds like that crosses the line from unethical to illegal.

[molten ridge]

Chronicles of the ascendant - I looked forward to this event. "guaranteed" shards if you saved your tokens. I get weighting the new content for the most points, but this was a good way to guarantee progress each month.

I thought Boosting the spend bracket to milestones beyond was acheivable for most of the players was a line... and you've sunk under it.

[proven sparrow]

Kixeye did the same thing to their games, bleeding the community and in the end up everyone got sick of it and stopped spending and playing.
Scopley employed people from Kixeye and these people have adopted the same business model of bleeding the community inside Scopley.
Look what happened to Kixeye now, its a shell of the company it once was, the exact thing is going to happen to scopley
Scopley in the top 5 for revenue but that will soon change like it did with Kixeye and the future will be very bleak

[eternal stag]

g6 here on S80, not a single person in my slb bracket has completed the corresponding sms

[karmic nebula]

Chronicle of the Ascendant scoring update https://tenor.com/view/misha-collins-cas-castiel-spn-supernatural-gif-8677046

[vagrant topaz]

Unfair change:

• Unannounced
• Less diversity and competition: they've ruined the only strategic event there was.
• Now it's a stupid event: the only way to score points is to spend materials. This might seem okay for whales, but even then, if you're limited to G6 and you're level 70 with all your buildings at level 70, how are you going to score?
• If the goal was participation, it wasn't achieved. If the goal was for people to spend money, without competition and a limit on where you can score, it becomes a void. One more reason to get discouraged with the game.
  But what's most annoying is that they say they "asked" the community. Not Scopely. You haven't asked the community, nor have you listened to us. Don't use us as an alibi.
  Assume that if you ignore the community, the community will ignore you too, as it already is, and abandon the game. That's the reality.

[karmic nebula]

Yeah, on a serious note, echoing what everyone is already saying - this WAS a really engaging event pushing progress; you turned it into a blatant cash grab to force players to buy in to new content, really discouraging change and disappointing. And yeah - "asked" what community? if you're genuinely interested in feedback, you're getting in this thread - bad call.

[proven sparrow]

Whales actually need to spend less now because the smart F2P players that saved for the events to compete can no longer score so the whales dont need to buy 1st place 😂

[civic oak]

<@&509690795536941056> this CT Upgrade SLB is completely not achievable for ops 24

[dim vortex]

This the second time the scoring has been changed during a live event without communication. Seriously @full swan what is going on mate?

[thin void]

On my server no one is finishing this Foundations of Power SMS in my bracket.

[ocean arch]

It's great that you listened to us and let us know what was coming the rest of this event. My bigger point was that we need a few weeks notice for changes like this so we aren't wasting time saving stuff up that we can't use. Still, progress, I appreciate it. As for the event, these changes have killed it so that I for one won't waste time on them. I used to be struggling to get through and considered (sometimes DID) purchase to finish some of them. Now purchases wouldn't get me close enough to even think about it. So, great job there guys.

[red dock]

This “Reputable, Reasonable” SMS is complete garbage! 2 pts per hostile up to 1200 pts is UNREASONABLE at its best! You can keep your rep & one badge! Not sure who is coming up with these terrible ideas, but please demote them!

[warped grove]

if we were expected to complete it one day, sure, but it does have a six day timer...

[wooden sail]

How do you unlock today’s M - Federation SMS? Where do you get the token from?

[jaunty ingot]

Any word of if the 50 and unders will get some access to more Ferengi BP event currency?

[humble sleet]

<@&509690795536941056>

Have to say this Arc has me the most frustrated of any in the few years I’ve been playing STFC..

First:
The lack of notice to push G4’s to go into G5 before they go locked into the lower tier BP was a major blow from the start.
Yes you could argue some information was shared, but as a whole the community seemed taken by surprised by the complete cutoff of G4 and G3 from the bulk of the events this Arc (yes they have their own path, but they are cut off from the officers and majority of progression).

As a slow grow mostly F2P players (I used to dolphin some but Scopley repeated failures stopped that) I was carefully deciding when to jump and if Arc’s intent had been clear both myself and a number of others on my server would have chosen to jump up had we understood the cost if we didn’t.

Next we have the inaccurate information at Arc start:
Those of us considering the jump AFTER the Arcs launch were told a few different things…

First if we hadn’t scored in anything and we jumped to G5 we would be on the new BP…
Or all our events would be locked into the previous path, no change to events…
To the BP being locked in all the events changing..

And the last being the BP be locked, some events would change, but not all, without any real clarification which was which….
This left many of unsure what to do, and resulted in some upgrading to the next Tier of material grind, others waiting and upgrading mid arc and some just staying behind…

And finally:
It seems like the bonus BP’s like the Ferengi were also linked to OP’s as well, cutting out the players who could previously participate with little to no notice….

This doesn’t feel like it’s meant to be welcoming to players, or build trust, it feels more like being held ransom, upgrade OP’s and spend or be left in the dark.

[maiden condor]

Dear Scopely, <@&509690795536941056> , please tell me, which part of "listening to player feedback" in your videos resonates with making another event to kill 600 FKR hostiles? Which part of "we're tired of endless grind and spending way too much time in the game to complete events" was hard to understand? Which part of "new Scopely events are boring" does not resonate with killing 600 hostiles? Why do you keep lying to us?

[boreal coyote]

When first place can’t finish the heroic, you know it’s player unfriendly. I’m pretty tired of heroic having it’s tentacles in everything.

[grand fulcrum]

<@&509690795536941056> they forgot to add scoring for dauntless research to CoTA

[craggy elm]

they also forgot to make dauntless work - heard of it. hardly seen dauntless(es) so far

[silver briar]

That is fraud. Respond appropriately.

[civic oak]

600 kills in 6 days.... isn't that tough. That's pretty minimal effort if you want the goal. If this is upsetting folks then tech Tuesday that requires 1000 must make you guys go bonkers

[ocean arch]

If it required 1000 sure. But killing Q trials/hostiles does most of that.

[humble sleet]

Trials reduce that number significantly for most, but the broad point of players asking for less grind is what the OP was talking about

[ashen notch]

I'm tired of Scopely having their tentacles in everything. Need a less greedy developer to take over this game.

[glass pewter]

<@&509690795536941056> can we please fix the text for this event. This doesn’t not score for 51+. It doesn’t score for G7 hostiles by design per support

[boreal coyote]

I’m just kinda hanging out now…. I keep wondering when the end times will be….

[late siren]

<@&509690795536941056> Yesterday the nerfed GOTA got my goat, but seeing the double down by Scopely today I just feel comfortably numb. Another event not to bother with. I’m not spending a couple of grand to try and complete a 6 day event

[cedar bay]

<@&509690795536941056> was it intended to leave Dauntless and Squall research out of CotA or was it just forgotten during the butchering of the event?

[errant wind]

They are a business , do you honestly think they support F2P , answer is No . They want you to spend Money 💰

[sacred goblet]

it is like it is "we promised we do better ... but from september"
problem is nobody asked which one september

[haughty quartz]

well now that most of the points for COTA have been taken out and that is a few hours after event started nice one , its now a KINDA farce, one which you might as well give a wide berth. Whats good about this arc, as useless as the 3 previous ones

[dusky mortar]

cota point nerf makes me think of quitting game

[azure gazelle]

Take a look, noone could do all 4 milestones in my bracket for "Foundations of Power", only 7 did the first 3 and only 42 could do a milestone at all. Out of WAY above 100 players.

I was lucky as I had hardly spent any rare or epic wrath credits since they were introduced. Next month I won't have those savings.

Totally misdesigned this event now...

[gloomy current]

<@&509690795536941056>
Another score for Scopely frustrating the playerbase for absolutely no reason with the huge nerfs to CoA. That you do this after such a poor rollout of Outposts really seems like you're intent on pushing players away.

You guys are blessed with a great community in this game, yet at every opportunity you take that for granted and make what are obviously extremely poor and unpopular decisions. Your actions are that of a company intent on spiting your own players.

There was absolutely no need to change it, and if you guys didn't know this would be an extremely unpopular decision, you guys have zero ability to read the room.

I'll be joining the players no longer spending until you stop disrespecting us all - your players deserve far better, and you deserve far less until you stop mistreating your playerbase.

[patent star]

Normally after I've had some time to think, I'll get calmer. That's not the case this time. I'm more upset than I was initially. It's not about this specific event (CotA), it's about a series of decisions Scopely has made both as a game designer and as a company. I've never felt like a company is more adversarial towards its own client-base than Scopely.

• Constantly chooses a path to drive revenue instead of considering the impact to the game and the balance
• Instead of recognizing that revenue comes as a result of a job well done, it makes revenue the focus of game decisions which is likely to destroy both
• Not seriously vetting code and performing QC checks requiring the players to discover serious game limiting bugs thereby necessitating emergency patches and constant compensation chests
• Leaving bugs in game for months or longer
• Not providing communication to players regarding changes it intends to make and gathering player feedback
• Shifting from a "pay to advance faster" model to a "pay to play" model
• Giving platitudes to a community instead of making substantive changes geared to fix the community's complaints
• Abusing the players' trust over and over to the point where it feels like it's an us versus them situation.

It's a real shame because there is a great game in there somewhere. I'm not of the belief Scopely should be doing this for free. Scopely needs to find a happy medium where they're fixing bugs, introducing features, communicating with players, and providing a balanced way to advance where people want to give Scopely money for a game well built.

Three days ago, I was working these Main Timeline events, and somehow ended up with 40 schematics. I go to the Event Store and have to trade them one at a time to get Relativity BPs. After 8 clicks, the item was locked out until the next day. So one day later, the surplus schematics had disappeared.

Now, I find I only get one FKR Event ticket a day, and I cannot even earn anymore schematics until I complete another 5 FKR Events at the rate of one per day—for a 12 day arc. Furthermore, no schematics are available today.

Scopely, why are you moving the goalposts around during the game? This is extremely frustrating.
