Whats this?!!? I even docked the haul and STILL don't see results! @100 per Token, that should have easily cleared that Quota!
You need to hit the 40+ ones
Then the Writer for this needs to be fired for not INCLUDING that information
Much more articulate than my constant swearing this morning ..... I really used to love mats events .... now Im thinking after 2 1/2 years of playing ....why am I even bothering with this ... they certainly are on their way to losing a lot of players .... and they dont even care ....
$copely offers us 2 kind of events - none of them I find appealing as a player, whoād like to have 1-2 hours daily engaging events to enjoy with my alliance.
Either itās multi-day mega-grind events that most cba with. Alternatively - and thatās how many of are now playing, is to be afk: send ships to autogrind Aggro or Augs, mine materials, send 2 ships to Outposts. Since all thatās needed can be done afk, why should I play at all??? You even introduced an afk ship to encourage us to not log in too often. š¤
Just to open boxes from dailies, faction store, refineries and the occasional battlepasses (that got terrible in useful rewards for higher tier players) is not really quality time spent in any game. Makes it really incredibly hard to motivate some of the best players not to quit in my alliance, since too many lost faith to see any improvement.
Oh, and the only engaging concept that I see - Arenas - are completely broken.
Just another feedback from another disengaged playerā¦š¤¬
IN-CRE-DI-BLE ššš that is one of a kind decision from Scopely, I canāt say anything different than perfect! Tyvm
<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> wth is this bug? The whole system is now stuck, and I cant complete the event
Fantastic work Scopely. Broke outposts again.
https://tenor.com/view/aplausos-clapped-leonardo-dicaprio-clap-slow-clap-gif-12389001
not like there's an SLB going on again counting outpost kills
Outposts are broken AGIAN. Now cant even win the slb. Thanks a lot
Cant even kill hostiles anymoreš¢š”
I can still mine, so they have not broken everything yet!
Surely their webstore works flawlessly
yep my outpost stuck on last attack ... just says ... "incoming". Been stuck like that for a hour cause you know i have a life and dont watch it 24/7
Outposts are broken yet again. I didnāt get a single hostile kill before my ships went idle. So much for the defender event.
<@&509690795536941056> Seriously, why arenāt the Battle Pass events for OPS50 and lower synced anymore, while OPS51+ still gets it like normal? Thatās such a mess!
<@&509690795536941056> removing the vindicator is a slap in the ftp/light spenders face. There is no possible way a ftp player, or light spender, has been able to max out the vindicator yet. And there is no additional way to source GS31 parts.
The CotA event has become a slap on the face of 80%+ if the player base.
Are you still getting Unity BP events on the mid ops battle pass? Just not in sync with the ops 51+?
It is just another event I am ignoring. At this pace I won't even be playing the game soon and just chatting with friends.
I received this today and yes ā it's basically unity.
But it has been asynchronous since the beginning.
edit: yesterday was "gain power" (normal) & "hostile hunt" (ferengi)
Game is a chore. UI for events is crapp. Half the events are buried. Why do I still play thisā¦ā¦
And Iām f2p. So I get left out to dry extra hard.
Hi, yesterday was the Xindi event and Iād like to give a bit of feedback. There arenāt enough of the higher armadas and the respawn time takes ages. As there are only 3 armadas in the systems. I know this probably wonāt be read by anyone but it was just a thought.
Doesnāt help that some let them tick down instead of speeding up
Unity on standard, ATs on Ferengi pass for mid ops, whereas the Conor zone have ATs for both
Chronicles of the Ascendant used to be an event I could look forward to, now its 100% heroic - very disappointing
Not heroic, spend to win....
And just wait, at this rate, they'll charge you for installation. If you install it on your mobile and your PC, you'll have to pay twice, and you'll have to pay to open the game too.š¤£
Spend to take part is probably more accurate after these changes
You've almost got my STFC
⢠By making the Heroic SMS events harder to reach the final milestone (with fewer ships), you create the itch to spend
⢠By rewarding spenders in the SLB with currency and Nog shards you turn up the dial a bit more
⢠But where I get hung up is offering parts for none of these specialty ships (except Relativity) in the Ferengi event stores these many months. We're 220 days since the release of the GS-31; 164 days since the release of the Reliant. And no catch-up store mechanic for either of them.
If you offered some pack concurrent to the COTA event that allowed us to get 2x or 3x parts on the GS-31 or Reliant ... Or a $50 pack with the same amount of parts...
I'll admit it. You'd have my dollars. I wouldn't be proud of it or feel good about it, but with those circumstances and that pack sweetener you'd have me
But given this set of circumstances, I can't do it
I like to complete events, but not today
@raw adder
When you give this event to G5/G6 and G7 players. Then update systems and events to G7.. That's also a recurring issue in this game: older content that isn't updated, what's the point of G6 and G7 in the game if all the content doesn't go that far? Very little
Stella needs archiving
Lots of stuff needs archiving and should have been archived by now but Scopely are busily dodging their own timetables at the moment
Scopely need to put more love in the game world and content. To keep it relevant. All the feedback what we give is sadly pointless.. Scopely donāt care š¤·
<@&509690795536941056>
Whatās with filling the calendar with Regional ALBās these days?
Our 401 server is relatively young.
Regional ALBās are just a gimme to the mega alliances of much older servers - youāre giving to those who already have, and the rest see it.
All our 79 members are now just kinda put off by this, every time.
Weāre no5 alliance on our server, and very active, we usually punch way high.
Participation is bare minimum, and some not even bothering for sms, just stockpiling the directives.
Make them Regional SLBās, with appropriate brackets based on the ships you SHOULD have at that ops and therefore which outposts you should be able to complete, and everyone will play. Maybe even put some money into directives packs.
It as it stands itās entirely stacked against us from the outset - this is just nonsense, none of our alliance is interested in acknowledging, and itās one more thing thatās turning players off, as if thatās what you needed nowā¦
FWIW not one single player has bought any directives.
not a promising track record lately, botched flashpoint arc series - abandoned, g7 buggy launch, outpost disastrous launch - players unhappy and spending less / leaving -> scopely push spend events even more to make up for this and in turn push even more players away - vicious cycle forming
The game is circling the bowl and it seems Scopely are determined to hasten the quickeningā¦
I wish someone from Paramount were reading all this and would see Scopely laying waste to their great IP.
Paramount doesn't give a damn what companies do with their franchise; all they care about is getting paid for it. They're entering a terrible decline, which is why there's been so much Star Trek-based garbage, which is impressive.
And how I miss when Activision made the good Star Trek games.
Isn't it weird that the Relativity parts still score while the DTI credits did not? It's almost as if phasing out old content wan't the motive. š¤
Whatās the point of this discord if all of it will be ignored anywayš©
Oh I am fairly certain that if some people didn't have this discord to come to and whine and complain everyday, they would probably explode. So... technically that could be the point to it.
So i won't even get started on the COTA event that everyone has already discussed, but I found a new twist today that just made my blood boil. if it wasn't enough they cut so many ships out to make it difficult for a lot of players to make the top tier, Last month I created a spreadsheet and wrote down the number of points each ship upgrade was given.
Found out that they not only cut the ships, they cut the point total for every ship and two of them were cut almost 50% to make it even harder. can you say EPIC FAIL.
It is recommended to have an external Private Investigation within the Scopely Universe. With all that is being seen in complaints and personal Star Trek Fleet Command immersion, I am seriously wondering if there is Employee Discordance to the point of intentional bugs and errors within this game. I am hearing of Player after Player, even First Day Players, quitting because of someone no longer caring how this Game works, nor caring what has been fixed.
If there was a detailed checklist to what has been overlooked and not fixed within the game, the post that describes the details would exceed a Posts character limits.
Lets do something about this before its too late
I'm genuinely saddened by COTA's scoring system change. I was finally ready to upgrade my CUBE and waiting for the event. Same goes for my other ships.
I wish they'd announce changes like this months in advance.
Scopely's always been light on announcements, but when this keeps happening, it really kills my motivation to play.
Governments have been toppled because of Discord. Companies should be easy.
Why do so, so many events still have 50-70 brackets? Itās very bad for engagement and feels like an easy fix. No reason to even try.
Regarding removing certain ship parts from the chronicles ship event scoring:
- I understand removing ships that should've been maxed by now.
- NSEA: I bought the ship day 1, but I still need (with exo efficiency) 4 M ship parts
- vindicator: I bought the ship day 1, it's currently almost T14, but still a lot to go till T18. I understand the ship is old, but by your design, since I'm still upgrading it, the ship should provide value for a few more years!
How about we set a deal: the ship stops scoring when it goes into independent archives?
6 hours , loosing 2 biggest ships , scopley fix this ridiculous time , who would even consider this rubbish
The Indipendent Archive idea is great, its not like its actually hard to consolidate, and anyone with any knowledge of programming would know that being told "its not an easy task" is just BS
āItās not an easy taskā is scopely language for anything free is hard to do š¤£
Thought these were fixed š¤¦āāļø
<@&509690795536941056> Alliance Tournaments Next week?
I disagree; it's not that it's difficult to do, it's just that for Scopely the word "free" is like garlic to vampires.š§ š§āāļø š„ š¤£
thats a contradiction, you disagree but then agree? i said same thing different tone š
Sorry, then it's the translation that has confused me.š
Good luck scoring. I think their popularity dropped so low, that it won't matter if they remove all the f2p tasks.
Battlepass Events again async :/
Stronghold siege - Tactical strike not scoring.
this is so stupid, Its ment to be an upgrade commanders event but now all i have is Lorca that scores and there is very few Locra SP to upgrade him
Anyone elses outpost battlepass event not score today?
Might have some info about this coming soon...
This event isnt scoring. I've had the outpost since a few minutes after reset and no points. Outpost hostiles x2 points. Normal hostiles are scoring.
Same here. But nobody care š Guess we have to do without 2x points, in a normal way. Just the usual scopely thing.
Hopefully they don't COTA the tournaments...
They just adjusted the tasks last run. If they messed with them again that would be catastrophically bad
Completely by design, they want you to buy upgrade packs for it. Just do it with armada directives this run, I'm sure those will be removed next time too
At least the RALB events have more than just 50 alliances winning something
The hostiles from the outpost it's self doesn't score. You have to hit the FKR hostiles to score, will get double the score while doing the outpost
The vengence is way overpowered. the arenas aren't even fun, they're so lopsided it's almost sad, it makes me wanna rage quit this stupid game. 5 battle passes a month is way to much. it's nothing but a clicky here game constantly, there's no enjoyment in it anymore. nothing about this game screams star trek.
yea, this seems fair
Whats the time table for a support ticket regarding bp reward claims
Think its 24 hours. But they might be a little backed up.
Iām not getting double points for killing fkr hostiles while holding an outpost. This game is a joke
I have the vengeance, BP now , basically a Dutch Auction biggest spender gets it and not on the first Auction cost a crapp load , but guess what another road block by scopley and you must have an epic G6 at tier 12 to actually build it , lol , more money , once I achieve this rubbish my spending days are over .
Not Worth the thousands of dollars pumped into this rubbish now , the enjoyment has gone ,
Will they be running the āPrime Outpost Retaliation (Heroic) - SMSā event again? By the time I noticed it, it was over. Now that Iām on the fence about the prime, I know Iād get it, only for the event to come back again the very next dayā¦
I donāt think they ever repeat those events. Theyāre bonuses for buying the primes on release essentially.
Ah ok. Woulda been cool if theyād have let it run for at least a couple of days. Or they could always just throw the 10k officer depot tokens into the pack lol. Oh well, thanks for the reply though.
You need at least triple the amount of outposts. You keep having these events for them, but the whole server is going for them, so they are full all the time.
Anyone else think this ops split for player events is crazy my alliance has a mix of ops levels Iām ops 54 we love to include all ops for alliance events now, anyone above ops 51 canāt see what events are running for lower ops or below our alliance came 1st in a alliance event for below 51 event and my admiral couldnāt even see the success š¤¦how can people keep alliances going if they canāt even see the events the team win in, come on scopely
anyone else am server 172
yep had it in 106 ... said communication error ... threw me out of the game and then that message came up . just as i was launching outpost š luckly outpost went ahead and alliance players have just come back online saying they had the same problem
am back in but Everytime i collect things keeps crashing absolute joke
I'd love it if the Cosmic Cleanup event counted kills of hostiles above level 60. it very may well do at higher ops, but at ops 60 it's not counting any of my higher-level MU kills
it counts hostiles all the way to 70, always has
as I said, it may at higher ops, but at ops 60 it does not
š they must have changed it. Cannot even check stfc.space anymore as they broke that site when they took it over š
Hey Scopely - remember this summer when we could purchase a second instance of the Battle Pass rewards?
Yeah, if you could do that again for this one, that'd be awesome.
Thanks.
What is the point of the surge refinery. In all categories of refinery are very old ships that I assume most people have maxed. Whenever I have collected one in a bundle I have 1 not maxed I always get parts for the one I have maxed. Either let me choose a specific ship rather than a choice, or give me the ability to exchange these useless ship parts for ships already maxed.
It's a catchup mechanic for lower level players and provides research mats for G7 players.
It's a saving mechanic. Spend nothing and when you finally get to G7 spend on surge research for a leg up
The amount of outposts compared with the amount of players needing to take them for the event is ridiculous. Iāve visited four systems with both 51ās and 53ās and theyāre all taken. There seriously needs to be more, or some way to prevent people from punching far down compared to their ops.
I'd visit them all, they aren't dark space so you can look inside to see if a target is open before you send a ship.
Thank you. I did not realise that.
This Outpost stuff is just lazy dumb filler BS.. what the actual stardust
Has nobody heard anything if they've (Scopely) changed the difficulty in Outpost? I've not made any adjustments in crew and saved to presets so no changes and where I could successfully complete an entire Outpost, now the last few days lucky if I can complete 10-15 waves of hostiles, before my ships are destroyed.
Honestly, would you rely on scopley coding
How often do we get more surge launch tokens
To whoever created this Syndicate battlepass event: I'm at level 55 Syndicate. I need 16.23 million Syndicate XP to get to the next level. Even with purchasing the battlepass, I'd get a total of 1.56 million XP. So your battlepass is worthless.
Every little helps

Its all TOO MUCH Scopely!
Battle Passes not synced for OPS50 or below is a slap in their faces.
Why the smaller Players have to do this and the 51+ not?
Another freaking battlepass? Are you guys so strapped for cash you have to have 5 going at once?
A PVP event without points for a loss or an alternate scoring method is trash <@&509690795536941056> We've provided this feedback for YEARS. Stop regressing
All it says by running an event like this is that you want players to waste their trit and time and that you have no consistency in your events. Even the Vidar/Tally PVP events have points for losses. You can do better. Also, 71+ have the same systems as 69's. Absolute fail
its also pretty dumb linking it to an outpost event
At least you can see it, a lot of people can't š
SIX!... SIX concurrent passes, ah ah ah!!! š§āāļø
Seriously, a good thing being taken too far by greed. Maybe instead of creating a pass for everything, you should look into why the original pass is so popular. Could it be that it's a good rewards to cost value? Yes, duh. Maybe making $100 packs only $20 (which is all they're worth in most cases) should become the norm so you increase sales by opening up the market to people who can afford $20 but not $100.
Waste of an event not counting losses with brackets wider than INSERT YO MOMMA JOKE
71s have the same systems as 63s as well... a bit lobsided ... obviously an event I will be skipping as I can't compete or score against that ops level.
The pvp event isn't scoring it got to 300/1200 and stopped
Quit it with that excessively long Augment hostiles farming event, or increase how much the lower hostiles are worth.
Syndicats BP is missing š«¤
let me get this right... 200 to 500 ships just to complete this Event. I don't mind grinding, but forcing folks to do near or over 500 of those Swarms because they can't do the Gorns or 40+lvl Swarms is just ridiculous
So as an ops 49 I was able to access Syndicate Pass, Chronicles of Ascendant, Special ships and building upgrade events etc..and now you have decided to downplay us and force us all to upgrade to ops 51.
Well i didn't complete bugger all
You did better than me, and I suspect few people were successful with COTA because the event scoring requirements were lousy (to put it as nicely as I can). Personally, I didn't even try to participate in COTA (I completed one event because I had a ton of depot tokens saved up). The events were simply unacceptable, and I won't participate in unacceptable events. The players need to not let FOMO dictate how they play, because FOMO is what Scopely is counting on when they make these greed filled decision. They won't be better unless we force them to be better.
Speaking of the above, and I know itās heroic, and I will unlock the officerā¦.. but, it doesnāt feel good. Taking first and completing 2 of 5 eventsā¦. Donāt think this is what scopes had in mind. Snapshot into the player base.
Agee 100. I only completed 2 since I had the depot tokens as well as being ready to bring up a few specialty ships.
I honestly hope this mission disintegrates and wastes away in a ditch, and itās not like people werenāt openly hating this repetitive-to-hell mission since long ago.
Dude I did it only being able to hit 38 level hostile literally took 4 hours if not mire
Thatās 4 hours I donāt have because of this thing called real life.
I had one till I broke my wrist and dislocated the hand to about a month ago
I am not a fan of this event two days in a row. spreading pvp out to 3 different systems only makes it harder to complete
Im less of a fan of a copy paste of the same event with the same goals we had yesterday with a 2 day timer and now add 1 more with a 1 day timer... could have just done 1 single sms rather than make it painful 2 days in a row....
@near saddle these events are insulting..not only was the scoring nerfed but the rewards were put to a minimum also..
Please tell me why anyone in G7 who not a massive spender should ever expect to get this ship? Iād love to know.. as a player that has already maxed my G6 epic and my Cube I cannot even if I wanted to reach the 1st milestone in this..itās pathetic
I think the worst part is that the ops level brackets are mixed... ops 63 + all in the same systems and you get NOTHING if you lose. horrible event
Ops 51 is Klos, Vehla, and Talora, I think it might be 51 and up. (At least that's what it looked like to me, based on who was there.)
For mine it's Ishka'du, Tera Nora, and Rudania...def ops 63 + for me.. got up to Ops 72 in there
@near saddle @celest kite @full swan <@&509690795536941056> as per my discussions yesterday after my warning..if I ask general questions/raise concerns/give general feedback and want some form of response..what happens..Ignored!
Ah. It would help if the information was displayed on the event (i.e. ops range for this event), rather than being hidden within parts we can't see. Especially considering the scoring doesn't always work as described on the event.
For context on my discussion yesterday.. This was a Public discussion so donāt believe Iām breaking any rules here..before my post gets deleted or I am issued another warning and/or ban
Slowmode seems to be activated in most channels..donāt like players speaking out Iām guessing
Wow really for T2 you want all this. Kinda ridiculous for a T2 officer. Makes him basically useless
<@&509690795536941056> - Since CotA got gutted for what ship parts matter (very disappointed about that still), can those be added to the "daily" ship part event? It would be cool to have some kind of purpose for all the various kinds of ship parts we have to factor.
@near saddle @full swan give me a reason to continue playing this game..Scopely has destroyed any hope/trust that I had that things would improve..
I'm so sick of the trend of making new officers use loop loot for tiering. Not that I care about either of these officers to begin with, but this makes it so I want them less than I already did.
hello all
Especially when they are not good loops anyway. Gee I want to finish a loop and be done and not have to do it 200 more times to upgrade a marginal officer that mostly only increases the loop efficiency that I don't want to do anyway....btw, when are we getting some loops added to the archive. You haven't taken anything away in months
Please tell me you've not added like 9 extra material tasks into the rotation
If you change the Syndicate task, the playerbase will riot. <@&509690795536941056> I appreciate you guys too much not to warn you.
Probably only see the ones that match your level to encourage spending, good luck G7 players. Same with syndicate xp one
100% agree.
Regarding DTI, if you look in your avatars, they now have meridian and mantis DTI avatars, so those must be coming.
How about you fix the problem where players canāt see the rankings at all. Since AT began Ive never been able to see the points alliances have at master class and up.
I'm a level 49, syndicate level 57. Still I still be able to do the AT syndicate task? <@&509690795536941056>
If a moderator could run it by scopely devs and let em know that āJimboSlice used all his mirror loot stored upāā¦. that would be appreciated. Iāve been sitting on it for a while. Since I used it all, then they should now know to release an SLB to spend mirror loot.
Ops 43, Synd 56 - and I sure hope as well!
Just wanted to relay the reputation STFC has earned for itself - so much of what you do is NOT player beneficial, especially some vague announced change. So you say you change syndicate task, that 100% means you bleeping us over. Raise amount needed? Remove the task from lower ops (some of whom could complete it) even though syndicate earning is largely based on syndicate level and other sources? Something else?
I will be thrilled to be wrong, but again, this is the reputation youāve earned. And if this is indeed what ends up happening - well, hereās your early feedback. Youāre wrong, sit down and accept being wrong, and for the love of all thatās good do better for a change! Stop thinking with your accounting department and try actually thinking whatās best for us, your players
I know Iām not the only one to say outposts are too damn slow! 10-12 hostiles an hour is ridiculous
They've already tipped their hand that outpost speedups are coming. I'm going to assume that will another thing for them to market to whales š¤
Run them during the night or work. Start them, buy a few buffs, check back in 6+ hours.
with only so many outposts the only way to ensure an opportunity is to run in off hours ie daytime and even then theyāre crowded
So if a G4 or G5 player can only see tasks they can do, and they have not increased the tasks slots, how are they supposed to be able to refresh G6 or G7 tasks if there are no G6/G7 players online? If you happen to get a bunch of g7 tasks taking slots and you don't have a g7 player in your alliance, won't those slots be locked till reset?
So the solo outpost exchange used to be 7T or 14T Trit. Now its max like 800B- 1.6T trit I think what it was. Wtaf nothing like hamstringing us with an already horrible feature and making it worse. Nothing has changed for me same everything you just cut the rewards by a huge amount. Outposts are now completely useless.
This is why I did not want to leave ops 60.
No Event Brackets (ops 61-70)
How are low level G6 players supposed to win anything against Ops 70 when they can hit high level Outposts for thosands of points. Low G6 can't even reach level 70 outpost zones let alone kill anything on them for all them points yet are in a bracket with people who can?
Where is the balance
With all the new boosts why are lower players limited when it comes to events. Iām running around hitting lvl 60s as ops 48 and they donāt count.
I am very, very, very, very, very, very, very angry. Iām hoping Iām just misunderstanding something here, but, it seems like the Station Efficiency Artifacts Event is designed to waste much of the reward currency. At this time, there are no reputation locks EDIT: for above 500B so having a limit on the amount of reputation I can acquire for a single faction means that I will waste the reward currency either by not using OR by spending on reputation for the other two factions which will then be destroyed as I go back to raising my reputation for a single faction. Iām sure you hear this a lot but Iām particularly upset that youāve taken something we desperately need (material efficiency) to support YOUR goal of having us advance in level seem to be a naked cash grab that we receive nowhere near enough benefit from.
there is reputation locks though? not sure what you mean
Is anyone not just doing triple faction these days?
everyone above HERO will have a hard time getting triple faction up, especially when they reach G7 and need to kill veil hostiles for the dailies.
Double Faction might work but not triple faction.
they need to add level 78 + 80 MU
I tried out one of the new 60 systems and it didnāt let me put both ships in. 60 Zarvei
Rare Outpost control core not scoring in Vengeance is Mine (SMS)
#ā-official-announcements message
meaning, it was to easy and here you go and spend
Making the syndicate xp task go from difficult but worthwhile to impossible to do ftp is ridiculous <@&509690795536941056>
Why you have to mess up EVERYTHING that works???
Please put free periodic claims in the Gifts tab, not the Event Store tab.
what a bunch of scammers, now acquire 3 million syndicate pts, in what reality do we do that, the one where we pay you thousands of cash
So now you need over 6.000 G6 instead of 2.200? Thanks.... š
What the hell is that? is was 400k last tournement !!!!
Acquire G6 crystal requirements for me almost tripled. That's some BS... Way to ruin one of the few events in this game worth doing, but all in the name of progression, right? Do you know what that word actually means?
How TH are these Syndicate tasks remotely acheaivable, wht a crock. š©š©
did you really think announcing the effective removal of the syndicate task was going to slide through because you called it an improvement?
I hope this is broken Scopely
for alliance tourney store, have it so that it DOESN'T DEFAULT TO TOP ALL THE TIME! I would like it to just stay where i am. c'mon how hard is it to do>???
even the resources now has to get a lot more than last time as well, what a thieving rip-off by scopely
AT Store refresh rate is way too high. A refresh every 2 or 3 seconds makes it impossible to use it.
"rebalancing" they said xD hahahahahaha how much crack can anyone smoke...
They meant their checking account, so this makes sense when you know that.
How are you guys thinking this is a pack :D.
The most we can get 1.5m from syndicate pass and other sources are only 200k š
Okay G6 requirements increased, now we waiting for battle pass choice reward increase... Oh wait that won't happen, because you dont care. Anyway I will just scrap some G5 ships to get G6 mat. OH WAIT....
Ooh itās a pack. The only way you can complete this now is to buy it
what a joke alliance tournament tasks are hard enough as it is the one good thing was the aquire G6 and being able to get lots of 10k ones done, they were aquire 2200 G6 gas crystal or ore now thats up to 6280 no wonder players are leaving we finally get to aplace to do things well and they screw us over again
and thats only if Syn 55, the pack only gives 200k if below syn 55
G4 player here. 10k aquire mats - a really nice change. thanks
They raised the friggin scores on tasks? Unflippingbelievable. Thanks for the heads up scopely!
I think I prefer our screens on 109 than any already shared
Alliance tournament tasks better adapted for all players? You're completely out of touch. This is an adjustment no one can manage anymore. You work your way up to complete the tasks, and you change them so it becomes impossible. And then you don't even get any credits out of them anymore. Great job you're doing. You should just make them all tasks that require spending money, or better yet, just shut the whole thing down. It's getting really annoying, just measly rewards.
The new levels in the Alliance tourney are just insane. No other ways to put it. This is not "balancing", it's pure greed and forcing players to buy packs to do higher scoring tasks. Ridiculous!
Do you guys want people to stop playing? These changes to alliance tournaments are completely and utterly out of touch with everything we have been saying on here for the last year.
Up until now, alliance tournament was at least a relatively decent event with solid payouts (via the store) for f2p tasks for G6. Now the syndicate 10K task needs a pack, and all the 6* material tasks have tripled in the amount needed. Y'all know a lot of us are close to quitting, right?
They havenāt updated the store and tasks are more than twice as expensive to complete. Iāll wait to see if the <@&509690795536941056> can fix this mess.
Yet again scopley makes changes players hate...and will then wonder why more and more of us quit or at least quit paying.
I literally buy the battle pass to give me the means of getting through the alliance tournaments, mainly on the 6* mat acquisition tasks, well thanks Scopeley now I needn't bother spending on that anymore. Run by the lowest sharks in the business, this game is just abusive now.
so like normal they just cant leave things as they are, they have to ruin everything they touch to the annoyance of long term players. sydicate 10k points was aquire 250k syndicate points which i could just about do, but no they changed it to 3 million, impossible unless you spend over £100. also to get promoted to master league now its only the first 2 places when before it was more places. This game sucks more each day, from a level 70 player who is on the brink of just playing elsewhere, anything that scopley cant ruin!!!!
$copely at its best to kill the last event that had nearly 100% participation rate ššš
<@&509690795536941056> Can we get a refund of our Retribution battle pass? Not worth the buying after what you did to the AT.
Moving the goal post...now it's aquire 3million syndicate Xp for a 10K task. This is ridiculous. It's like Scopely is going out of their way to ruin this game. š¤¬
Brainless
Yes, they made changes, the first one I see is that now they tripled the amount of mats needed in the 10000 material task. Really? You guys seem to thrive on disappointing players over and over again.
3 million syndicate now for the task?!? What the actual fudge
also 6* used to be aquire 2200 for all 3 now they have moved it to 6480, so 3x as much, not even worth playing this garbage anymore.
Made changes wanting people to spend only pushes more players away. Every decision recently seems to get rid of your free to light spenders...
<@&509690795536941056> in case your management isn't aware we are completely infuriated with this ridiculous predatory behiavior. The company would be making more money if they stopped alienating their customer base by diminishing rewards and increasing cost just to play the game.
Happy mother trucking anniversary. Hereās a royal egg you with 3 MILLION?! syndicate xp required? The decision makers here literally hate the players, hate the game, and are actively trying to burn it all down. Good job, itās succeeding
<@&509690795536941056> Server 53. Can't buy from alliance tournament store. Keeps resetting. Probably lag. And you new scoring sucks.
The timing to inflate the alliance tournament task requirements could not be worse with community sentiment as low as it is right now. Way to read the room:
<@&509690795536941056> our alliance members appear to be missing tournament access at all, but having seen examples we are in a good position š
Don't worry, you are not missing anything in this AT.
You need to reevaluate the nature of your existence. You provide entertainment only, when youāre not entertaining, the audience leaves. Dumb, very dumb
Scopely are you Alive? Are you listen something?
All I can say at this point is literally....just literally...how do y'all go to bed every night and live with these decisions...you're treating us like you're shaking us down for milk money...
And yes unfortunately nobody is listening to any of this to answer the gentlemen below
You all know <@&509690795536941056> isn't paying attention to any of this, right?
Like they care?
They are ... cause the game is probably going down soon so they try to milk us as much as possible now
scopely increased difficulty of a lot of tournament tasks without notice.... poor decision
Happy anniversary. Thanks for consistently failing us and reliably disappointing us and not changing the things that actually matter - like I donāt know, maybe not restricting this basic necessity of account / officer progression behind the elite tier of tournament?
3million synd.points... In which universe is this an appropriate amount for ops63 player?? just ridiculous...
I will also totally stop spending money
<@&509690795536941056> I tried to warn your about changing the AT events. You ignored it and made it WORSE for the entire community. Congratulations of turning another event into trash and infuriating the playerbase. I can't understand how the individuals making these choices are still employed
Wow, it's almost like you want us to quit. You can't keep getting in your own way, Scopely, huh?
They own it and are about to force out the last drops. They don't care about us only about $$$$$
@near saddle Any chance of getting this fixed on 109?
maru alliance?
Are you kidding me? Is there some reason why you devs still have jobs? Spend all freaking day killing Augments for literally jack rewards. Seriously.
Also, why is it labeled as a solo leaderboard? Still not hired a new proofreader after these past few months?
as ops50 i have the same task
They 3x the mats needed to completw the 6* mats. Ridculous!!!
600-900 choice tokens for a 6 star AT task is insane....
Scopely U SUK ...AT IS HORRIBLE NOW
We're on a sort of titanic.... and the band plays on... š
Rebalanced and updated? Bwahahahahahahaha
Im laughing right now. Keep thrashing scumley!
<@&509690795536941056> if y'all haven't realized that this requires an immediate response...
Jesus, when you said balancing pass on the AT events you meant basically quadruple or more on everything!
Congrats scopely you have officially convinced me that Diablo 4 is better than your game and I should start playing it again.
Again, people that do not play the game making content for it.
Yes sir
Actually, I really thought they will make tasks for lower ops levels easier to score a decent amount of points - but this change really caught me off guard š
So you guys rebalance the tasks and made it to where everything that could be done is now pay to play. You just wonāt learn, letās see how many players quit over this crap.
already escalated sir
Took out the g6 materials tasks for Ops lvl 71+ now making it 3x more difficult to complete with the g7.
Š£ Š²Š°Ń ŃŠ°Š¼ ŃŠ¾Š²Ńем Ń Š³Š¾Š»Š¾Š²Š¾Š¹ ŠæŠ»Š¾Ń Š¾?
what a 6* materials scam, the lower your 60s ops the more choice rewards chests you have to open to cover the cost for 6280 materials, so no doubt, the higher your ops the less chests you need to open , as you should be getting more per chest, nothing but thieves, why should anybody do any tasks in this new scamming tournament,,,,1000k choice tokens for a 62 ops as they only get 620 rss,,,,,, it's nothing but give us your money or forget about competing in the tourney, well, i think i'll choose to forget about competing
600 choice tokens at ops 70 to do a Crystal task. The Ore and gas are 900 each
Thanks for making the syndicate XP task in the tourney unattainable w/o spending $$$.
I think the target revenues are not coming in again, that's why AT changed to a task optimization outfit, as if you did us some good... it's pathetic how you look at players as stupid for the sake of profit
same for g4, also needs 10 pulls of the choice tokens
I was prepared to give the benefit of the doubt... But I was dumb... Part of me knew that the 'improvements' to the AT tasks would purely be a focussed attempt at driving out the last FTP elements of the game... But then to see the results of it this morning... Just an insane way to treat your players, especially off a woeful arc (following straight on from several garbage arcs)... Connor... Are you listening? Somehow I doubt it... Squeezing the last funds from a dying game. What a waste of an IP.
I normally spend $300-600 dollars on AT. BUT these changes are ridiculous. I'm not spending anything. Thanks Scopely for teaching me to save my money.
Scopely :
So I guess either the Scopely event team doesn't listen to their boss GM Connor, or he's just been gaslighting us the whole time.
Sigh yeah these last round of AT changes I think have broken the camels back for me. That and too many pizzas. But mainly thew AT quantities that changed. Its ridiculous numbers you need for mat conversions now
<@&509690795536941056> Lol this has become an annual ritual now. Every time we approach an anniversary of the game, Scopely makes unforced errors that drive down player sentiment and create a negative vibe, when we should be celebrating the game still being alive another year. š¤·āāļøš¤¦āāļø
I dont know whose feedback they are listening to about the changes that they keep making but they need a new panel of folks. Whoever is saying these are a good idea is out of touch entirely
What in Qs name? Alliance tournament changes are so out of touch and lame! Every arc and every update people get one step closer to leave in this stupid game behind.. pull your heads out of the sand
Scopely just slapped the playerbase in the face with a dumpster fire while giving us the middle finger and telling us āyouāll like itā. Congratulations Scopely, you did it again.
<@&509690795536941056> new revised tournament events are garbage and out of touch. Sorry but not sorry. Glad I spent my money on a ps5 pro... this game is now on the back burner
A regional ABL. I think the first-place winner can be proud of their reward. Seriously, that's more than stingy. With that measly reward, you can't even buy the tiniest little thing.
<@&509690795536941056> congrats to scopely I would rather play Diablo 4 than STFC and I absolutely hate Diablo 4
Scopely the new EA
Scopely's new Motto "If ain't broke, we'll break it!"
Don't forget "And we will charge you extra for it."
They seem to listen to the players about 10% of the time, and the corporate money grubbers the other 90%. In this case, they gave us grade specific tasks like we wanted, but then added changes no player wants in an effort to drive revenue, which it's looking like is going to backfire on them based on the feedback. I genuinely hope these changes actually cause lower revenue, because that's the only thing they're going to notice.
I hope a moderator on here can explain to me how we rebalanced the syndicate task from a doable 225,000 to an undoable 3 million unless you want to drop 100 bucks. So what wants was a guaranteed 30 or 40,000 points in a tournament, has now become spent $300 or $400. Iāve played this game since the beginning and every time you try and tell us youāre doing something good we then find out youāve done something three times as bad. What I actually hoped happens. Is this tournament just crashes half the people donāt even get involved and you make no money.
I would like to add my voice to the displeasure over the current changes of the alliance tournament events.
I appreciated that up until today, there was the ability to score max points without spending money if you were strategic and active. However moving forward this feels incredibly difficult, if not impossible to obtain now with how things are.
I understand you want to make money, and you should make money, however 6 battle passes in a month and then a monthly event where you need to pay to score well is not the way to do it. I happily spend money on this game when and where I can, that unfortunately is feeling fewer and farther between.
I would strongly encourage a re examination of some of these tasks so someone who spent money in the battlepass can get 3 10k "obtain x amount of unc " type events, or complete 1 run of the syndicate XP with free to play sources, or give us additional avenues to stockpile things that score in the tournaments so that collectively we can choose to use those resources to do tasks and help our alliance and ourselves do well during events like this one.
I appreciate alot about this game, but I am very concerned at its seemingly slide towards unaffordable for me.
absolutely rediculous nerfing the at event tasks. I am ready to quit now. Thank you scopely, after two years I see now who you are and what you're about.
As a side note, once they do a flash pass, it'll be 7 passes in a month. Greed run rampant.
I would caution criticism of the battle passes. There is plenty other legitimate things to criticize. But every single battle pass has a free track. Ignore the elite, ignore the pack, ignore the inherent greed behind the decision, just collect your free goodies for tasks theyāve balanced around doing things you are very likely doing anyway. Iām glad for every free track of free things Iāll get
Congrats on trashing AT
š©š©š©š©š©š©š© DUMBster fire AT changes š„“š„“š„“š¤¬š¤¬š¤¬
I won these tokens on the last day of Grand Master Alliance tournament so I could not spend them because the event was over when I got them. And now the token has changed. That is really frustrating.
One major question I have....5 tournament ago I started getting all but a few of the whip to upgrade latnium mining Mondays...well the whip hasn't been avail in tournament store now for at least 4 cycles.. Did they remove it from the game or what's the deal?
it is in the ferengi store now
Tournament event isn't scoring for epic solo armadas.
Tech needs to be on your strongest ship in the armada.
Has to be the ONLY ship or BIGGEST ship in the mada. Known issue forever
the greedier scopely gets, the less I am going to spend.
you greedy bastards can you not just let things be as they are. You forgot about the IA, you dont improve old loops like mantis but you have to nerve the AT again. 6200 uncommon is just ridiculous.
And they put in an alliance leaderboard to guilt players into doing whatever tasks or theyāre screwing their alliance.
Scopely silence is deafening yet again, š©š©š©š©š©
a simple fix would be increase the rewards for choice coins to 3000 per 200 pullā¦will they do it? no
putting a slow down on the room will not stop the justifiable outrage
that's why i buy the bp at the end of the month if i do. i first look and the month and decide on if i'm happy what they did this month or not.
i guess there's no need to say that i did not buy the last few months :D
Not like we'd believe anything they say to us at this point. Lies and tone-deaf changes, one after the other, so at this point I won't believe anything from them unless I actually see it first.
What event are you doing that requires so many? and what level are you?
Your events are all pay to play and the rewards are not worth playing or paying for.
This is what people with a functioning brain call 'bad game design'
We donāt have any tasks in Alliance Tournaments
You're not missing much š
There is always something wrong after update and new release
Ops46 having a sigma spending task despite the announcement that task will be suitable for the ops level
Guess the execs never took a class in consumer psychology. Hint: consumers donāt like being straight up blackmailed for cash. They like deals even if theyāre illusionary.
Level 19 here, literally can't do any tasks yet because it's all things that I don't have access to
<@&509690795536941056> Did you guys not receive enough negative feedback on the COTA events? What made anyone think making changes like this to Tournaments was a good idea?
At this point, itās intentionally being done to frustrate an already frustrated player base.
Acquire = Buy $$
Same here. I normally score 50,000 points off of that task because it was 225,000. Iām not understanding how we rebalanced anything. Tip the scale to where you would have to spend money to score the same points you did a month ago. Iāll be curious to see how many alliances getting relegated in this tournament. Iāve heard a lot of people saying theyāre just not going to participate this time.
Nearly 5 hours later and no response from scopely
the rebalance was cuz they added G4 and G5 tpo the acquire task list for 10k tasks, although that doesnt seem to fit in with some changes the acquire G6 task was 2200 before but its now 6280 totally patetic cuz why does adding G4 and G5 affect the G6 players or why does it affect the syndicate xp? weirdly though im not seeing the 3 mil one the syndicate acquire task atm is showing 1 mil which is still stupid.
Brought to you by the Urban Dictionary.
Iām sure itās based on ops level and syndicate level which Iām ops 58 and syndicate level 55
tournament tasks are so unbalanced anyway the real reason they increased things is simple players were getting smart on what to save up to do tasks and spending less cash. Yet again they are doing something to push players away it really feels like they are doing things to get players to quit so they can make the decision to axe the game
I was all for the increase if it was from 2.2k to 3k for the g6 tasks. But a flat 4k increase is way too much. Im not really wanting to accept some of these tasks that require me to hit 400 of some hostile for almost no point contribution and AT creds.
Syndicate wasn't rebalanced, it was nerfed for everyone. It's no longer f2p.
Mats were rebalanced, G6 no longer has an easy set of tasks. Everyone gets the same set of medium-hard mat acquire task now, the mats it asks for has the same ask: ~1000 choice reward tokens worth of mat exchange for gas/ore. Crystal can do it cheaper.
This arc is the nerf anything fun and worth while arc
This Alliance Tournament will be more balanced. Players with ops level x will see tournament tasks that they can achieve. My potential tasks include spending ex-Borg credits and sigma tritanium. Iām ops level 35. Ex-Borg doesnāt open until 38. No clue when I get sigma resources. Thanks again Scopely! š©
Sigma aint until ops 60 
I get what youāre saying as far as they rebalance the material task. Everyoneās big complaint is why did they mess with the syndicate task? Those of us that ground hard so we could get our syndicate up in the 50s making you able to do that task from your daily pull only to have it yanked. Thatās what people are mad about, the rebalancing for that task was just returning it to pay only.
no im ps 69 and the syndicate task says collect 1 mil of it. tasks were never supposed to be ops lvl based#
It's not ops-based, wasn't before either. It was flat before. It's now syndicate level-based, and not possible for anyone to do f2p.
213 AE hostiles I have to kill to complete the kill event today. Any bets on how many FKR ships youāll have to kill in the same type of event tomorrow or whenever it pops up for this meta?
Itāll be like 30 or less.
This is what happens when you hire people that DO NOT PLAY the game to design events for it. Last arc when this event ran it was 170 hostiles. You guys need to fire people because this kinda stuff has people not playing the game and if theyāre not playing, theyāre not buying stuff in the store so youāre going to have to fire them anyway.
Balancing the tournament for 3* and 4* doesnāt mean screwing the tasks uo for everyone else. It would have been balanced had you just made the ops level changes.
What level are you?
Nope. Mats were nerfed too. Attempting to dress it up any other way is just disingenuous.
Mat acquire events didn't exist for G3-5. They do now.
They could have very easily added them for G3-5 without nerfing them for G6.
Our alliance canāt even do the tournament, zero tasks available, shows 21 alliances on our leaderboard, and weāre not even one of them! I guess we donāt have to worry about demotion at least. š
Even if you were listed, even in first place, theres a chance you'll be relegated....
I donāt often come here to complain but I donāt get why the g6 task had to increase 3fold.
We didnāt get 3x the rewards from the BPā¦
G4 and G5 should have no impact on G6 tasks
My level is irrelevant to my point. Itās that they WILL NOT ADJUST the scoring for the AE kill events. I can say with some amount of certainty that the scoring for the FKR kill event that would be in this meta is absolutely not going to give 80pts per lvl 54 FKR hostile let alone be 17,000 total to complete the event. They C&Pād an event and added the outpost modifier without looking at the rest of the scoring.
G3, G4, G5 and G6 are entirely different economies in the game. This could have simply been add the task for materials for G3 through G5 without changing anything in G6 weāre having to screw up any of the other events. Some of us have figured out what to save or what events we need to do so that when this rolls around we can score 150,000 points for our alliance, without spending $1500.
It looks to me like weāre trying to make it easy for G3 and G4 players so we can get them up to G5. For some reason, I guess they think those players wonāt be frustrated by this stuff when they get to G5 or G6. Thatās some real mental gymnastics.
I don't understand why things need to be medium-hard at all. People should be able to complete tasks that motivate them to want to spend on the new features. Not everything needs to be monetized out the wazoo. It makes moderate spenders like me to not want to spend AT ALL. This event was one of the last things we could hold on to and be able to complete with little stress or cash that actually paid out decent stuff, and it's been made 3-10x more difficult/expensive.
Very true. Just also not cool how it was done. I didnāt see that much of an increase coming at all. No way to prepare as ftp
You want more money? So does everyone. However, the way you are going about it isn't encouraging people to spend and stay with the game. Quite the opposite. Well done.
Can we stop using the term f2p? It's no longer achievable through gameplay. This is something the whole community should jump on board with
I'm not defending their decision, just stating why it was a rebalance. A nerf would've been a negative to two groups, and a boost would've been a positive to two groups. They decided on nerfing one and boosting the other, and rebalance is good enough term for that.
That's fair. The focus should be on making good content and good decisions that drive players to want to financially support the game, and not continually make decisions that put up roadblocks, aggravate players and give them less rewards.
I see no reason to stop using the term, it's helpful to draw the distinction, and players commonly agree on what it means. Reasonable effort can be made to do the mat acquire events so that you can finish some of them without spending any money. No amount of effort can get you the syndicate tasks completed, it's paid.
It's not helpful to the community at all to draw the distinction. So there's no point in keeping it. The property we are discussing is a game. If something is not achievable via gameplay it should be called out as such.
Do you believe mat acquire tasks are doable via game play?
Yes, one or two per event but it relies on choice rewards - so doable
Is it ideal? Absolutely not but that's another topic
I've checked, you can get a little over 2k choice reward tokens from the top track of the bp via pure game play and hoarding. Why wouldn't you call that f2p?
I also agree with this statement. My only thing is that its not doable through the entire timeframe due to the 4k increase. A small bump like 600-1k would have been perfect without killing the f2p portion of AT. To do it fully now requires the elite BP.
Because it has nothing to do with pay or not, it's gameplay pure and simple, achievable via my choices and actions within the scope of the game itself
Yeah, I'm going to keep calling that f2p game play. P2w game play is different, and so is p2p.
Ok let me paint you an example. If I buy the dauntless today, will it help me complete my battlepass and therefore help me with tournaments?
Higher level players wonāt be able to pull that task off five times during alliance tournaments. Scopley has already announced that they are not sure that choice tokens will be available during an alliance tournament run. If theyāre not available, thatās a task youāll no longer be able to do without spending.
So no reply? You know it doesn't matter if I'm p2w or not the answer is the same. It's not achievable via gameplay irrespective if I'm a p2w player or not. Lets leave the term f2p at the door
The thumbs up is a reply, just waiting to see where you were going with it. The mat acquire tasks are as follows:
1st and 2nd f2p
3rd f2p if you add the additional constraint to only do the crystal versions
4th+ are all p2p/p2w
It's a designation of the amount of money you'd need to spend in order to achieve it and the associated amount of effort involved.
My point and concern wasn't so much about materials though, it was removal of the syndicate option that was simply removed as possible through gameplay.
Under my construction, I can very quickly explain the change as:
It was f2p before, but it is now p2p/p2w.
It was possible through playing the game, it's no longer possible by playing the game.
I see no advantage, that way even takes more letters.
It's not about how many letters it takes to write, though I know people are lazy so I get it.
Greedy Scopely is killing this game.
.
"rebalancing" the two by four up our rear ends.
.
Celebrate 7 years of Scopely trying to empty your bank accounts..
can we all just agree that the changes made are simply to try to get players to spend and not to enhance the gameplay at all?
I mean even the CCs are starting to worry if the game will reach next anniversary. Everything being done in the game indicates a total disregard for the players and a last minute cash grab to get what they can before they burn it all down. There was no reason to raise task costs 300% on materials
As a paying layer, I'm not gonna spend anymore because I don't think this game has a future under Scopely.
Welcome to PureGameplay, we could call it PGP instead so people who like writing less letters feel better
Celebrating 7 years of the longest running arc. The āWhen are they releasing QUALITY OVER QUANTITY arc?!ā
10k Syndicate task in Alliance Tournament needs to come back. Scoply consider that please. Iām asking respectfully.
When are they gonna realize the more they try to force paying to play the less they gonna get from ppl
Yep I havenāt spent a single penny on the game since they nerfed the vengeance events and I will continue to not spend till they revert those changes, Iām happy to spend when itās back as it was
Happy players are spending players. I cant even say scopely doesn't understand that because their other games do not have a quarter of the issues Fleet Command does. This is a Digit problem
Alliance Tournament Changes Feedback
You don't even try to hide it any more that you're just doing changes that affect whatever you think gets more packs sold.
What changes did you do to balance the AT? Only the tasks where you have to "acquire" certain materials, i.e. buy packs in the store to get those materials.
LOL.
And yet, a lvl 25 still sees "Q Continuum", "Sentries", "Ex-Borg Credits", "Mirror" and a majority of other tasks they have absolutely no chance of doing ever at their level.
Well done, indeed. Well done.
You've shown your priorities again.
We'll keep our priorities of spending, too.
Having recently moved to Syndicate 55 I was looking forward to the syndicate task becoming easier (I've been doing it every tournament with more effort but getting it done). Instead of being adjusted to my syndicate level, it has been made undoable. Very dissapointing that a task that could be done F2P basically as a reward for advancing / improving has been taken away.
@full swan Feedback on the tournaments. My alliance, on S16, consistently finishes in spot 6-12 in expert bracket. Now we are sitting 20th, dead last. People are not able to score due to this new re balancing. We are trying but wow the balance has been huge. There is a group of 11 players sitting 5 spots above us. All lvl 65->71. They are smoking it.
Honestly, this is turning my squad, which is a VERY active participant in tournaments, off. They are finding it impossible to complete. @queen kindle @rough spear
Thought you should know that.
At this point I am convinced they want to drive enough players they see as leeches to quit so that they can condense the servers down to a handful to cut costs. Because all of these recent changes have been ways to offer less to get players to spend more. It's just going to have the opposite effect.
3 million syndicate XP! Thanks for making it impossible to complete another task without paying.
drive out the free to play players, so you can merge all the whales into a handful of servers and then get big bonus checks for cutting costs and maximizing profits.
This. Thatās my biggest issue here. Instead of being rewarded for the time/effort/potentially money spent to grow and get to the point where this task can be completed, they have decided to yank that progress away. Itās ridiculous. I hope they correct it, I truly donāt understand why they seem to want to tank this game.
Way to ruin yet another aspect of the game...
"Acquire 28,800 G5 Uncommon" Lol. That's silly. I know we got the 7 day, 30 day chests plus refinery and event milestones but tasks that are a Spend or Acquire should be completable in 5 mins so others can have a chance to do them. Having to coordinate everything utmost possible to even try to attempt to complete it is just not kosher.
IMHO - There's four things that Alliance Tournament needs.
- Better layout for the three different tiers of tasks to show a clearer difference between tiers/payouts. Different Rows and Colors for the outlines of the tasks or something to that effect.
- When a task is in play by someone, there should be something to show that the task is unavailable and by who. That way we can actually get people to do more tasks to make AT more viable.
- IF you decide to keep adding Pay-2-Play tasks, you need to add an equal amount of Free-2-Play tasks to give more opportunities for people to do things so we're not all waiting on a limited number of tasks.
- New 10K tasks should be added like - Defeat 50 Solo Armadas. Defeat 500 Hostiles. Defeat 10 Krenim Entities. Basically more tasks that incorporate one of the many grinds that we already have to do that is not in the archive. Doable tasks that aren't only P2W but incorporate the actual game we play.
10k Mat acquisition tasks are unreasonable. For G6 used to be 2200 can be obtained with ~6x choice reward chests. Now needs 5900+ which is unattainable even with converters. For G5, 28k UC requires 10x choice reward chests. Just about doable (once), but if you (Scopely) claim this to be because the game has evolved, that's just an excuse. The choice rewards haven't tripled, so why triple the AT task requirements?
Similarly, Syndicate payout hasn't suddenly gone off the charts. Sure, there are places like DTI or S31 where you can get another 50-100k depending on your progression. But 1,000,000??? Syndicate pass is running. Why not give someone the one-off "win" of completing it with that. 225,000 was almost doable F2P. If you schedule concurrently with a pass, that's on you. Still it could only be done for free once.
I am making the following comments on behalf of my lower ops peers (e.g. around Ops 14) doing Alliance Tournament tasks. The G2 Material acquisition tasks are not reasonable to them as they do not have Choice Reward tokens like their higher ops peers to complete them. Thus, the only way to do these G2 tasks is to spend real money.
"no decision has been made"
dudes, just make it f2p again. there are enough pay2play tasks, this one f2p does not hurt. this scopely message is just meaningless bs again.
There was nothing fun about the events today. I had to grind the majority of the day and just now finished events. Way to turn me off of the game.
Remember 4 monts ago when they put out a video saying they know they messed up and they would do better? And everything since then has been an additional slap in the face? Tired of being lied to. Time to quit
Turns out it was an apology to their investors / overlords and not the players
"sorry, we did not milk them enough"
This WAS 225,000 during the last event. You raised it OVER 4X.
For the record, Iām STILL L43 as it was last event.
Iām not throwing money at you for this.
Itās been 225K since they beginning of alliance tournaments. Same as you I ground syndicate hard so I knew I could do that task every day through a tournament. That would be 50,000 points plus the rewards that went with it.
ops 60, 3,000,000 XP
It's not based on ops it's based on current syndicate level
Thatās obscene. Do you recall when it was before?
Last AT was still 225,000 XP and it was easy to get it. Now I'm like š«
At this point thereās no point
Scopely, in order to improve your finances and make some money back, might I suggest restructuring your 'bright ideas' department and hire better staff for it that don't aim at driving away your consumer base?
1000 choice tokens to do one of the materials events?!?!?! this is seriously terrible. Put it back to what it used to be, the previous tournaments, and stop making things worse! UGH!
I cant wait for all those Scopely employees to lose their jobs when they kill their beloved game š I will be laughing for a very long time about it.
so they say they're listening to our feedback regarding the tourney new lvs, what they really mean between the lines is they're not going to change things because we all complain and they don't care, so stuff us
Only TOP 2 make it into Master League now? Sincerely what the heck Scopely
Also, not only is your Syndicate task now legit impossible for f2p, you canāt even complete it if you buy the Syndicate XP pass and claim it all at once. Get it together. Make a playable game.
This
It wasn't our feedback it was that of their overlords saying not enough money monitize more
You would think having 6 battle passes wouldnāt make them enough money but ārebalancingā AT where there wasnāt anything wrong with it in the first place just shows scopely greed, it shows they just see the player base as a cash cow, so to those who keep spending enjoy the game as it becomes more broken, while the people who donāt leave and find something better to spend their money on.
I have a feedback regarding the alliance event. Which is a balance to the capacity of the players too. For example, the task is to go to mirror axanar but it's out of my warp range as I haven't event reached two months of gaming š
i had looking at the AT Store and not seeing my balance, no idea what it is from yesterday evening, it will happily show me officer credits, or nothing..pointless.. literally.
<@&509690795536941056> This is annoying, my alliance is again splitted into two brackets in the tournament. How can we avoid to get demoted again in the end?
We even cant play tournament, so you are better than the others @stone glade.
Not sure but the tasks went worse. These tasks can't be solved with the needed amount.
Wow ... noone of your alliance scored so far ... that's what I found ... and I think not that you don't want to score ... that's awful.
They told us the improve things ... hahahaha ... it's getting worse every time
But hey, be happy, we changed some tasks ... to get more money š¤¢
Yep I have given up on Scopely and their ability to change anything without creating a bug somewhere else š
We are currently reviewing alliance tournament, as we changed the goal post and needed more packs sold , I canāt believe what Iām reading
These tasks are beyond ridiculous. I have pulled every single refinery and faction chest that can give uncommon materials, and even two multiphasic credits packs that gave a little uncommon ore as well, and it is still 8k short of the task.
IF these tasks had been known ahead of the AT, of course I could have saved the choice tokens for this purpose, but how are we supposed to know?
they have been extending choice rewards for AT every time for G6 players. now they offer the same thing for lower ops. if you missed the chance this time then do other task because last time the material task wasnt an option for below G6.
The event is really not aimed at sub 30 players. Iāve seen two things I could have selected, but missed out on them. Really disappointed I canāt participate.
fun thing is. some quests like swarm are impossible to finish as a high level player, too, because you would need to grind 1600 swarms or something xD rebalancing could have also dealt with that. but rebalancing in scopely terms only means, they need more cash grab
In Alliance Tournaments Store, Borg Type 3 and Borg Polygon directives would be useful options 
Scopely not satisfied with our participation they need us to participate with our credit card as well
Hello, who came up with this overhaul of the alliance tournament? You could have left it as it was. Many tasks are only possible by paying. You'll keep going until nobody wants to play this game anymore. Our alliance has decided to stop investing any more money until further notice. It's outrageous what's going on here. The game has a thousand bugs. Something is always broken. All that matters is making money. You implement cool features that work 25% of the time, or not at all. And then we're supposed to pay for that? You should really clean up the inventory and databases properly. Then you'll have fewer problems. ... We won't be investing anything more until further notice.
Each month, I do my best to plan out my strategies moving forward in the game, and some of them involve providing Scopely money for in-game Battlepasses, etc. I do this with a general idea of what the Battlepass is likely to allow me to accomplish. Most of this is based on past experience. I went ahead and purchased the elite Battlepass unlock so that I would have choice reward tokens for materials for the very purpose of being able to try to compete in the Alliance Tournament and make pulls for the G6 Material Acquire tasks. I honestly feel cheated in that Scopely unilaterally reduced the value of that purchase after-the-fact when they diminished its relative value in terms of what those credits were able to allow me to accomplish as I had planned. I put up my own money and give it to Scopely, trusting that I will get something of value in return. I feel cheated, and now much less trusting. Sure, I was able to spend 100K tokens to re-roll tasks to come up with the Acquire Dominion Elite Directives task, and I can still accomplish some of the other tasks -- but it doesn't feel great to have Scopely pull the rug out from beneath my feet.
On the current battlepasses: there are currently 6 battlepasses. 3 of them basically share the same daily tasks.
I guess it's probably a good source of income to sell premium passes, but this is just greedy and shabby.
I think that many players see this as a positive. All the battlepasses have a free track, so free rewards for all. Most of these passes cost $20 each & players can choose to buy zero, all, or any combination within that number. Players complained that $100 packs were too expensive & Scopely addressed it.
I would agree players are happy to have the free paths, but most of the feedback I've heard agrees with Pyro in that it's very greedy for them to make so many passes, or at least to run so many of them concurrently making those who are wanting to buy all of the paid paths unable to do so because they can't afford $130-ish/mo for passes (which is what it is when you consider all 5 $20 versions of the passes, the flashpass, and the 3 month long territory pass divided into monthly cost).
well, that maybe someones opinion - now you can spend 5x22,99$ instead of 1x99,99$. great.
I still find it really stupid to have them share the same task - and clutter the events page. it has 6 passes, 6 pass events, 2 overflows, and about 30 other events.
Alliance tournament feedback: as ops 49, i dont have 6* solos or sigma rss or 6* mats. please keep revising the higher ops tasks.
It isn't Scopely's fault that players want to buy all but cannot. They are a business. They were asked to sell cheaper packs & they addressed it. š¤·āāļø
To that point, then Scopely is showing again how stupid they are financially. If people are willing to buy them all if they spread them out, then they would make more money by doing so.
You don't have to spend any. It appears, in my opinion, that you just want to complain for the sake of it. That's your gift but I disagree & see no further reason for debate. Good day sir/madam. š
As above š
I understand that adjusting the AT tasks to the current economy was needed. Many rss income was bossted/has more sources hence is higher than before.
BUT: telling us in advance that adjustment is needed and coming is the fair way to do it right. That would be the missing link to be respectful towards players.
I'm a L-34 and I'm still seeing alot of exborg credit tasks, not to mention MU waves & solo borg armadas, and the g6 mats task. I, myself, and others my level cannot do these tasks and rerolling gives me the same tasks, just in a diiferent order. So I havent not seen a change other than I've seen some new tasks this time.
I am ops 37.
The Gorn events are impossible to do because the systems are behind the Dark Space lock.
The Texas Sentry events are impossible to do because I can't get the special ship. (Ops40)
The adjusted Syndicate event seems impossible. I did the 225k twice (Win two leaderboards...) but now the leaderboards pay out less and I need 1M so... (I am Syndicate lvl 46)
I can't do epic nor rare dominion armadas because the sourcing of the directives are behind an ops lock.
I can't do the Ex-Borg events because they are behind an ops lock.
What I can do are the Kill FKRQ/Swarm ones and those are reasonably easy.
I also can do "Spend galactic recruit tokens" once in a blue moon when I have collected enough of them.
The Adjustment of AT is a complete disaster. I have no idea, what you did with the rng but it seems, when you do 50 rerolls of a 10k task, you have at least 49 ptw tasks and with a little luck one ftp. This is not a fair chance. Another example that you think, bullying players to spent more money can replace to offer better content. Ty for ruining my favourite monthly event š”
100%. I burned through 120k rerolls and kept getting the same ptw 10k tasks over and over. This is completely unacceptable.
The comp is not enough! i want a 100% revers back to the old values in the AT. Stop monetizing old content!
How much scoply pays vs how much we need to pay, i am ops 62, what do i do with 3* stuff š, and hardly gets 100 uncommons a day 6* from refinery š, i even got a notification for ship parts in tresurey š
Waves still not fixed why are you running events that need them
Thank you for listening to the players, looking into the issues, and delivering a good comp chest. This type of player interaction is great. Please do this more often
Did you go up a syndicate level? I noticed the same jump but just went to syndicate 50. Assumed that was what changed it.
I've been playing for years very actively and I used to buy a premium pass. now I don't anymore because the game quality gets worse and worse and the company greed gets bigger bigger and bigger. I also rarely complain.
I don't know about you but I want to play a nice game and have a good time. not spend the proper amount of money that I can spare.
Not even gonna try the waves sms when teammates are getting kicked and locked out of their own waves. Seeing a lot of folks here reporting the same. Will you at least acknowledge this is an issue and youāre working on it?
What do you mean they patched it last night everythings fixed there are no bugs! /s
š©
I used to be able to complete this f2p, now you make it p2w that I have to buy the elite premium syndicate pass or the syndicate XP elite pack
š©
Where are all the 5k fkr hostiles tasks and the swarm and probe tasks - just keep getting weird stuff i have no hope of doing
Can we use the Premium Opportunity Chest with the chips from the Ferrengi overflow if we haven't brought the BP ?
Have we gotten the final mission part for the BP?
It's called "Villains Treasury" for a reason - nice Scopely self-reference there.
I think I went from 53 to 54 between events. So if that is case, it is not so much of a jump to warrant over a 4X increase. But good catch on that. I was thinking ops level.
Thank you for adapting AT šŖ feels great to take Acquire mat. for 10k - thank you so!
Unfortunately, I can't. Perhaps you could teach me though. šš¤”
Day 2 of āthis is an SMS, not an SLBā:
Itās all youāve been doing. Carry water for screwply.
And it should be marked heroic
The treasury is oriented to your purchases. A normal OPS 62 who at least regularly buys the BP... has this.
The key to this event is to hold the outpost, then bring your next best 2 ships to Augment space and commit suicide a bunch until it's done. You should be able to get it completed within an hour if you have an outpost.. if no outpost, expect it to take quite a bit longer. Either way... it's doable IF you have the time and IF you have enough larger ships to hold and outpost and go withstand Augment space for a bit of time.
Not sure this task was rebalanced for alliance tournaments. Not much chance of a lvl 41 doing it.
I don't want November tokens because I couln't complete the Syndicate Alliance Tournament event - i want the credit for completing the event under the old milestones.
the tasks displayed weren't changed, but the requirements for individual tasks varies by the player who accepts it. so you'll see stuff that's higher ops than you
Subconsciously my monthly pack purchases over the 6-12 months drop significantly. My mind decided on its own it's not worth spending money in to the game anymore due the the greed of multiple battlepasses and changes for the worse in the game like the new AT
Sounds pretty heroic the way you describe itā¦
Theres plenty of issues to get worked up over but I donāt see how multiple battle passes is a bad thing, as long as the daily tasks retain their synergy. Yesterday it was 10 more helps to get extra stuff from 2 battle passes that I havenāt purchased. How does a simple task giving free stuff harm you?
I'm glad you noted that.... was channeling my inner Scopely response. lol
Because these extra battlepasses have replaced events that used to be accessible to everyone, for free. Now, half of what used to be free requires $ to get.
Also, spenders would sometimes feel compelled to buy something just to keep up with their rivals. But⦠when there seems to be 10 things every month required to do that now, it seems impossible to keep up. Instead of buying the three things needed to keep up, 3 of 10 things needed to keep up may as well be 0 of 10 things.
I understand Scopely. They used to have one event and charge $99 for the elite reward. What have they done? Well, they've divided it by seven and have five events. They've already removed two parts of the reward. They're adding things that were previously free, so it seems like they haven't removed anything. And instead of $99, they now charge $114 for all the events.
Nope
- why did you increase the numbers??? why is it hard now... all tasks is much closer and closer to P2W!!!! scopely are you planning to ruin the game????
- also don't add 7G tasks... in alliance we still don't have any 71+ops players.... for small or under 60ops players they can't complete tasks
- I have a feeling that the tournament alliance will soon die and become unplayable. š
<@&509690795536941056>
I noticed that too because SCOPELY is the worst math š© š
alright, so scopely already banned f2p from 'chronicles of the ascendant' event and their next step is: make harder for f2p to complete tourney tasks... I wonder which is their next move after that. congrats scopely, yall made loads of 70 to quit recently and the plan to make 60s quit is happening. yall on a tight schedule I see. guess what people said in the beginning of this year sounds more true than never, game will be shutdown in the upcoming months...
Team is looking into making some adjustments. Should have more details tomorrow.
Well I've officially hit my limit with this jacked up game. Constant issues, going unfixed, constant maintenance because they don't know how to launch anything without serious issues. Now the ridiculous increase to pay to win tournament. Forcing people to purchase $100 packs to complete 10,000 point events. Absolutely ridiculous. I am now a FTP player from here on out. I will never spend another cent on this game. If this behavior continues I'll take me and my friends and leave the game. You're already losing people at record numbers, I guess you figure pushing pay to play on every event won't push others away. You guys need your head checked.
The compensation given is useless insofar as completing Alliance Tourney tasks (it has a daily cooldown), and since it's compensation for Alliance Tourney changes you would have been better off giving out Tourney credits or Rerolls.
You should probably make rerolling tasks in general less painful already (especially given the changes that make more tasks pay only).
Already raised a ticket on this. But I and other players have noticed for the Alliance Tournament: Defeat Xindi hostiles. Destroying Xindi-aquatic hostiles do not count towards the score. Only Xindi-Reptillian hostiles count toward the score.
Dear Dopely, a compensation chest is not enough for these changes to AT. We had one thing, ONE THING, that was reasonable in the game. You trying to make that pay to play is worse then all the garbage arcs and new ships you keep releasing. SWITCH IT BACK, THAT IS HOW TO FIX THIS.
Signed, a former spender.
Someone deleted my message apparently, dunno why.. Are we not allowed to sign this any more?
Accident, sorry.
Having to complete 30 waves for the extra tournatment points SMS is a little bit tedious and time-consuming. Mixed in with all the Thursday events aswell.
The associated missions are also borked. How's a level 19 supposed to do this mission when we can't refine chaos tech and can't reach the system to farm the resources? Up to 20k officer tokens that we'll never be able to get
if the requirements were individualized, i wonder in which steps. i rerolled myself several times only the 6k+ g6 tasks as well as 3m syn.points - i am ops 63.
in between i entered several times the tournament and guess what i found >only<? 6k+ g6 tasks and 3m syn. point tasks..
My best guess: Ops 1-39 has less, ops 40-70 the above mentioned...
Just another thought: if tasks are individualized, and when low ops player can see tasks of high ops player, high ops player should also see tasks of low ops player - which of course currently is just a myth, since nobody ever has seen such a task.
But just in >theory<, If (big letters!) this would be the case... ..... WHY??
there is absolutely no sense in such a mechanic, since all high player would just wait for the tasks of low ops player.
Friday is already a very busy days for APAC, Arena, Cube, Outlaw, and now you want us doing waves as well?
Maybe consider the 'dead' days like Monday/Tues/Sunday
ever and ever the same ptw tasks...
Just a note, the game is good, not great. What keeps me around is the comeradery and joy of playing with long-time online friends. When those friends leave because of instability issues and greed, so will I.
And BTW, waves not fixed
And another solo wave wasted because 'check your internet connection'. If you're trying to get people to rage quit this piece of &%Ā£&( game this is how you do it
With waves being so broken-wave events are crazy to have. Constantly bumped from waves, ships returning home. š¤¦š»āāļø
Whats the point in putting these events if you cant spend all the stuff you earn? Got 576k from maxing the artifacts and yet even if i was to spend on ALL 3 factions rep i couldnt spend coz of the 150 cap on each.
The 150 cap prevents me from spending my winnings :/
Please change the 150 cap so i can spend my winnings
Please do not run ādo 30 wavesā events until you fix the bug where it boots you. So frustrating to try to get 30 done with half the team missing. It was not heroic. It was frustrating for everyone.
Can you SS the cost of one of the rep exchanges? Also, are there any other options to spend the tokens?
Nothing else to spend them on
So Kli isn't available for you, or have you already bought it out?
Bought out already
I've escalated the limit issue.
30 waves is a lot to do in 24 hours. This should be at least a 2 or 3 day event with everything else gong on.
Scopely: āHeres an idea! Weāll hold a major SMS for a feature that crashes constantly!ā
Scopely CEO: āBrilliant! Pizza party Friday!ā
30 waves is 3 group waves or 6 solo waves, should take less then an hour
"Should" being the operative word!
Scopely wave bug may have something to say about that, (even though the last update "fixed" it) š¤£š¤£
Suggestion for Scopely, don't run an event that needs us to do tasks that are broken....Although that could mean we only have spending in the store events going forward š
guess im lucky never experienced any bugs in wave
Not everyone has the time to devote a solid hour to 1 event with all the other events going in. Nor the solo directives
And that is one of the biggest issues in the game, so many of the bugs only appear to affect some of the player base some of the time, but that doesn't make them any less real for those affected.
In fairness to Scopely (yeah, l know, unexpected or what) intermittent faults/issues that don't affect everyone are the hardest to fix, but c'mon, they've had so much practise š
<@&509690795536941056>, I appreciate them changing the ridiculous syndicate and mat tasks, but syndicate is still paywalled. There should always be a free path, even if not easy. Paying should be to eliminate effort, not be a requirement.
Syndicate XP tasks updated to:
Tiers 55+: 800,000 XP (down from 3M)
Tiers 1ā54: 400,000 XP (down from 1M)
You know, Scopely already has a strained relationship with its players and you want to irritate people even moreā¦.Here is how I see itā¦..
-
Spenders will spend, and spenders most likely have already maxed their syndicate out a long time ago so it is rather silly for them to buy more.
-
F2P are F2P for a reason. This is not going to encourage F2P to suddenly start spending.
-
Your on the fence people- they sometimes spend and they sometimes donāt (this is my category) If they are going to spend it is NOT going to be the on something like Syndicate. And I ESPECIALLY am not going to spend when you do something like this and make me mad.
****After posting this I see I am late to the partyā¦.well what I said still stands, 400,000 or not. <@&509690795536941056>
typical scopely, hear the feedback and then change it back but STILL higher than before so STILL not achievable without spending money... get rekt
Interesting mine still show 400,000
Syndicate XP task requirement of 3mil reduced to 800k - unacceptable - revert it back to the original amount - no other outcome is acceptable
Change isn't effective until today's tournament reset
yeah we se you heard players.. but whose? because i did not complain about how costly was to get syndicate xp, and still it has gone up.. just before we could reach it for free, just in case.. or the ton of not so random tasks that are easily done by spending, i think you are making tournaments just another pay2win stuff as some alliances just spend money to win, others will get bored and stop trying and maybe eventually quit.. the refresh list is just a joke as seen how many times spend more than 30 pulls to get 5 times (or more) the same protomatter stuff (or some others) even got the same as i did refresh, that makes me clear that 'game' is rigged
The tweaks to Alliance Tournament scoring are insufficient. I'm ops 49. The Epic/Rare Borg/Dom armada directive 10k tasks used to be completable with a full chest pull. Now, these tasks would require me to do two full chest pulls. Is the design objective to make theses tasks pay-to-play only? Or are they still supposed to be completable F2P?
Please check your analytics for who is completing those 10k tasks at ops 49 or lower.
The scoring changes have made this event a pay-to-play event. Enthusiasm has crashed in our alliance.
Alsoā¦.you seriously need to scale the tasks for the lower op folksā¦.it is really hard to find tasks to do if you are ops 38/39. You have to spend as much protomatter as someone who is ops 50šš. And because you canāt reach the upper systems, if you do faction for 5,000 it takes a REALLY long time.
I have worked hard to consistently complete all monthly battlepass events. Suddenly in November the BP missions included augment hostiles.
This was not possible without special ships and/or officers. Which is a shame as I am a Romulan player and have zero interest in getting a Miranda class ship to complete BP.
Monthly BP should be a grind but not impossible without premium ships/crew.
I'm not mad Scopely. I am disappointed.
xindi hostile have max level 62 and hirogen hostile have 60level and my ops is 69... Scopely... remove this stupid level requirement with Ops⦠killing every hostile only gives 1 point. Having to kill something 400ā800 times is a ridiculous waste of my time
Or does Scopely never listen to the player community? They should realize that this is absolutely ridiculous for all the tasks everywhere is Pay2Win š©
You're only supposed to take the tasks that are doable for you, the pool is shared with your alliancemates. Those tasks should be skipped by a player as high as you for exactly the reason you stated. Lower level players, especially strong ones, will find those easy to do because they can punch up.
You donāt need a solid hour you have 24 hours š¤
You guys just donāt get it. No one is going to be happy with the insignificant change you just made. Youāre gonna have to convince those of us that ground hard on syndicate so that we could F2P that specific task. So after a bunch of people being able to do it for the last six months, you thought lowering the amount, but still making it unattainable without spending money was a good answer.
I know there are also FKR hostiles, but the points are 1600. I tried it, and it took me about 3+- (maybe less) hours to finish with level 67ā69 hostiles, maybe... š
Syndicate would have been more resonable if it was set to 2 daily claims per task, which means we could have only done it for free like 3 times
That mightāve been better than this. Most of the people Iāve talked with are irritated by the fact that was an easy 50,000 points per tournament.
Not good ehough
So the ability of a number of players to do a singular 10k task every day of alliance tournament gets taken away. In return you let us get a material task that we can do 3 days and a syndicate task that is impossible unless you bank your entire syndicate pass rewards to get a 4th 10k task done(this is after it's been lowered to 800k for syndicate 55+). It's still a net loss of a task and less AT rewards. Also, How come my weekly slbs pay out the same amount of syndicate as someone below syndicate 55+? You can punish ppl by giving them higher milestones for being syndicate 55+ but not reward them? Live ops doing a great job of misreading the room as usual and messing up established events.
@celest kite Scopely could you please make your changes in tasks BEFORE running an tourament !!!
I did 3 times the task "change uncommon material" BEFORE the lower amount needed - i doubt i get any used token back š¤®
800,000 syndicate points. Do my daily points now count four times? The rework is just as bad as the change. The idea of āāmodifying the task so that it requires more points but can still be completed without spending money doesn't occur to you, what with all the dollar signs. Simply outrageous. Only those who spend money can win SBL etc. here. You're just never satisfied.
It really would have been nice if Scopely made all the choice token costs per resource AT task reasonable for all generations (300 or 400 tokens). There zero reason people should have to pay a peasant or whale tax. While I am greatful as a G6, it really doesn't seem fair to the other generations.
The Adjustment in the AT is pointless. 1st you still need to pay to do the task and 2nd the real problem is the mechanism of the RNG. When you reroll a 10k task, it prefers ptw tasks against f2p at least 50 to 1...This must be adjusted to give all tasks the same chance in a reroll
Been like this for days.
so they have reduced a few of the tasks, ie g6 now 3300 so 50% more than previous tournaments still and syndicate 800k so 300% more than previous and they call that a result. THEY just DONT get it do they. Have yopu reduced the amount of 6* that I paid for in BP by 50% and also daily syndicate amounts by 300&. No so i will not be taking part anymore.. No more spend ever, not even BP anymore, likely to stop soon as the atmosphere of the game that scopley are doing is garbage
Bonus converters have no cooldown, but eat a special token. Those other converters have a cooldown.
<@&509690795536941056> What in the actuall heck!?!?!? My ships can't go higher than level 59 hostiles because I didn't pay $500 to max the aggregation building, so i get to be penalized with killing 2350 hostiles?!?!? This needs to be adjusted to be realistic ASAP!!!... Oh, and 500 units of aggregation research isn't worth 30mins of grinding, so the fact that the current requirement would take all day is an absolute joke.
Yeah the scoring for this SMS is an absolute joke, just more fuel to the fire
I wonder why scopely so eager to put f2p out of business ? , I mean scopely already rigged the epic dominion and epic borg appearance chances now they rob the syndicate from f2p why not make events pay to play only?
The alliance tournament tasks are essentially not available to lower than Ops lvl 40. That means you can't earn any of the Strategema tokens. This game struggles to be playable for all player levels. For me, I'd rather that they just hide the events that I can't compete in due to the level caps.
Does anyone else think the Outpost Vanguard (Aggregation) SMS scoring is a bit ridiculous?
See my above message which took me a lot of effort not to swear in.
With how much the tournaments task area jumps around with every claim we really should be given an option to change tasks. I had one chosen i could complete but right before I selected it decided to reset giving me a swarms one. As an ops 69 I'm not doing a task for swarms
Swarms is the only thing I can do at lvl 25
44 ops difference. There's no swarms higher than lvl 50
Hey all, I've been trying to find the subspace relay keys in the store for a minute, but it isn't out there. There are upgrade subspace relays, but no relay key. When are you going to put it back out there?
When incursions runs, they'll give out the keys. Might be toward the end of it, but early on if you're lucky.
An incursions thing i believe
Part of an sms or slb last I heard
Alright, thanks folks.
Asking about this event
100% <@&509690795536941056> this needs changing asap. It's pure insanity asking that level of grind on 59s as we die after 1 g6 hostile
Seriously?! The G6 Acquire Uncommon Materials task has been reduced but not the G7?? I normally do 3 x 10k task every day but Iām not attempting that now it takes so many Choice Rewards tokens.
Waiting for feedback as well... shooting 750 with Outpost or 1500 Hostiles wihtout seems a little bit over the top. My building is 59 and I even invested one pack in the beginning. Level 69 here
The rewards provided for the time invested for such an event = hard pass.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH, PUT IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS
Honestly, I'm over the tiered point structure of hostile grind events. Hostile kill events should just be 1 pt per hostile with a reasonable top score limit (like 200 tops), that way players can attack the most level appropriate ship for them (because that's what most palyers are going to do in most cases anyway). This would be an easy solution for players, and would probably make the devs' jobs easier for these events while also reducing negative feedback like we're giving right now.
After 20 minutes of grinding and having to fight with other players to hit ships because we are all bottlenecked at 59, hard pass indeed. It's absolutely astounding that after 6 or more months of harsh, negative feedback regarding insane grind events, you STILL give us these. And the rewards stink for the amount of time and aggravation required to complete this šš© event.
lol. Now they drop the syndicate XP from 1 million points down to 400,000. It was 225,000. This is still ridiculous.
And you just hit the nail on the head as to why players say Scopely doesn't listen to feedback. We get after them every time they make a grind event with awful scoring requirements, yet they keep doing it over and over.
We all must have realized by now that the playersā opinions barely matter anymore. Itās all about the numbersānothing else counts. Basically, you can only make a difference by not doing certain things. But as long as you just keep complaining and doing the same old stuff, nothing's gonna change. And if it does, itās definitely not gonna be in a way that actually benefits the players.
Update: They cut the max score way down. Thanks @full swan
Great job on the quick fix for the aggregation event!
Yep. As someone else just said, people need to not do these events. It amazes me how you'll always see some guy in there grinding away for hours. Nope.
Just brilliant to send the entire server to the same Aggravation system to grind hundreds of hostiles 
Since the correction, half of the scoring table is missing ^^
Should be based on your Recon Locus buildings is my guess.
- It never was.
- Doesn't fit (for me) š
Still way too high. 2500 points for an OPS 51.
i can reach the lvl53 system with my Tribune. and even with outpost bonus that would still be 157 hostiles
Ops 60 here...
Have to kill 120 hostiles to complete an SMS, which is required to complete a meta
And for the record-
What I really need to spend my time doing is collecting the common of this Loot. But that doesn't move the needle for this SMS. So that's seemingly a waste of my time š
Please be more thoughtful about event design. Please respect our time more.
And FYI-
These events that give us more points "while running an Outpost" ...
I just ran an Outpost yesterday. To complete the event for my Outpost pass. The game doesn't give us enough starts to run them every single day just to make an event less taxing
I'm sorry, this misses the mark all the way around
so i feel like we're moving in the right direction with the syndicate xp task.... just one thing.... i get 306,850 xp per day from the various places you can get it excluding the syndicate bp... the pack for $49.99 contains 225k of xp. let's do some math...
800k-206.85k-225k= 268.5k short of the needed amount, and that's spending $50 on one of those weekly syndy packs (which you should not do).
I don't want to speak for everyone so correct me if I'm wrong.... I'm pretty sure the primary reason ppl were a lil upset about the 3m xp thing is that the ONLY way to do it was by spending $100 on the syndicate pack. Well it sure seems that's still the only way to do it, might as well have just kept it at 3m unless you're adding another pack at a different price point OR increasing the amount of xp in that weekly one.
Looks like it's scoring way better than it's listed in game. And I didn't see any announcement
Thank you for the scoring adjustment, that's appreciated š
I'm not going to thank Scopely for reducing the scoring for this event, as they haven't done so for the Augment events, and we shouldn't have to still complain about this. They have known for at 6 months that we have had enough of hours long grinding events.
What I've seen the last 2 days from <@&509690795536941056> and the dev team at Scopley has been much appreciated š. Hearing feedback and responding to it in a timely manner is great š. Thank you for what you have done in the past 2 days. Definitely a step in the right direction.
So now its 2500 points with 21 each, still over 100 hostiles. Events shouldnt need more than 30 to 40 hostiles each or rely on running the outpost to get to a reasonable number. But it's far better than ebfore so I guess a big improvement with room to do better
I'm a huge proponant of reducing grind, but honestly, 30-40 is too easy in some cases. There should be some effort for the rewards, so I don't find 100-150 hostiles unreasonable so long as the rewards match that effort. For example, the weekly xindi event requires like 30 hostiles to complete, but the small amount of premium dust you get for that event is only worth the 30 hostiles. If that event needed 100-150 hostiles, I'd be the first to tell Scopely to get bent. The 500 aggregation research mats is worth 100-150 imo, but definitely wasn't worth the 2300+ hsotiles the event was previously requiring.
Thanks for reverting the the ratio of tokens to complete the g6 crystal task back to 330. That was a good move. The right move
Is it really asking all that much? How many kills would you have needed had you been able to hit targets your level? Is it really that hard of a number to reach if your recon locus is level capped for you, or is it that it still has quite a few levels to catch up to your ops level? My recon locus is low level still, and trailing my ops by about a dozen levels, so this is where im at, and this explains any issue i have currently.
Today there is also a hostile heroic persuit needing at least 23 kills but for a lot of players will need 50+, then voyager needing 60 today. So all in all it's a lot of events asking for kills, plus your dailies, potentially mirror runs, etc. It's just all a bit much these days
<@&509690795536941056> my event stopped scoring points halfway... I wrote a ticket and hope this is resolved. Take care and have a great day.
Checking on this
How long has it been since your score should have updated?
Dear Scopely, how does these matchmaking make sense.... please fix.....
Maybe around 1pm or 1:30pm
I keep restarting and clearing localization. I keep hitting hostiles randomly since. Nothing
Thank you for looking into the matter
Same here. It just stopped counting. Also I could swear the milestones were lower at reset.
having the same issue, ops 57 tried multiple systems and trying the game on both pc and phone... stopped scoring a few hours ago.
I'm OPS 57 too. And I think I finished the event, but have 659/2500 points now. I have 300 points in the Meta, so the SMS should be finished.
I remember now getting the award for 300 points in the Meta event. Must be a glitch.
@full swan Thx for keeping us up to date as best you can. I know your hands are often tied. Anyways just wanted to ask you to remind the Overlords that PvP Arenas will continue to be a dying feature if they donāt put up an accompanying AND functioning SMS with compelling rewards to go alongside it. Removing some of the Arena Ranking locks for stuff in the Terran Fac Store would increase engagement. Thx šš
Still stuck only part way done...
The savvy say " work the clocks"... which has been a long standing hack( 22hr cooldowns)... which is fine unless you APAC... our event resets in the ungodly hours before Dawn... effectively a machanic that prohibits APAC particaption ... but advantages the americans ...not that they happy either, instead of "perhaps" rolling that task everyday... they now got less than half that ... & unless you a shift worker in APAC, you got no shot... š¤·āāļø but g6 got their choice rewards hack back , everybody else gets the " expensive oppertunity"... & good luck rolling the crystal version... so much for equallity & ethics huhš¤·āāļø designed to help? How about who it handicaps?
Cant please everybody ?
Try this on for size...
roll syndicate back to original !!! The mats task? Same price for g6 as ORIGINAL ,FOR EVERBODY!!! š¤·āāļøšš no price hike! No excluding apac !!! No SCROOGE MCDUCK on f2p who EARNED the right to pull that syndicate task EVERYTIME IT ROLLS!!! see, simple.... everybody's HAPPYš¤·āāļøšš or maybe your plan is rage quit everybody instead, just before anniversary & just in time for christmas grinch ?š¤¦āāļøšš„ŗ
Give us back f2p Syndicate XP task, there was no need to change it for syndicate XP. It was only needed for materials which in the past was only starting from G6
AT changes suck.
Any update on the event not scoring points <@&509690795536941056> @full swan
For the aggregation sms, I would like to suggest scopely remove the g and the a, and swap the t to double s. Itās a more apt spelling.
Arenas died when they failed to fix matching.
This is very confusing. I can't upgrade the Artifacts building without Schematics, and to get those, I have to upgrade Artifacts to lvl 15. But to do that, I have to upgrade my gallery to 40 to get a level 15 Artifact. How else am I to get Schematics for upgrading? Currently lvl 41
This exchange on the far right provides the source for schematics. You run formadas in the delta quadrant to fuel it.
Or be really lazy and buy them from the borg store š
you payin?
Hey Scopley when is the COW event coming out ?
Any idea how to get the mission Conscription?
<@&509690795536941056> while the decrease in g6* mats requirements for the tournament tasks is doable, the syndicate requirements of 800k is not feasible for the entirety of the tournaments.
Finding suitable and fun tasks for G6 players remains a hopeless endeavor. Do something about it. Give tasks that you can do together with your dailies tasks, solo armada's G6 common, relativity solo armada's, new augment .. as always with everything: G6 is always left behind, the same old story from the last two years š£
the task list is still terrible, fyi
Agreed. More hostile hunting tasks for more points, fewer pay-to-win acquire/spend tasks. No tournament should blatantly allow āeven encourageā players to purchase victory outright.
The Swarm, Federation, Klingon, and a Romulan tasks are good examples of the kind of scalable and accessible tasks that feel like you're actually playing to win, and being appropriately rewarded for your effort. These need to appear on the board much more frequently.
Any new about this? 6 hours to Go. <@&509690795536941056>
Try Temporal Disruptors... you should have plenty of them due to the DTI Faction Store, if you max Janeways Clock and the Krenim Weapon. Do an exchange everyday and you should have enough to do always the 10k task. You need to exchange 125 excess parts of an epic temporal artifact to get the 15k points. You also get more than enough rerolls to roll for the Disruptor Task...
That is not the point. You play video games for the entertainment, for me personally also for friends. Just want enjoy the game with friends and do interesting things in the game. Everyone can click
.. š„“
Any update on the Aggregation SMS event? Still stuck and not gonna get the credit for the Meta event at this rate....
Is there a specific reason why these payouts for 7* are not the same?
You managed to get to G7 without noticing that crystal payouts were more since like the beginning?
Alliance Tournament continues to break around me. I claimed a task, checked it was claimed, completed it, and it showed it was not claimed. I was brushed off my customer service āyou completed that task yesterdayā - yes and I tried to do it again today.
The way this game slowly breaks while Scoply continues to ratchet up event costs is alienating. It feels like blaming the victim or yelling into an echoless void. I wish there was consistent customer service so I could either know you have my back, or I could say goodbye to friends and move onto something more fun for less money.
I didn't see anyone respond so I will. This is why I don't do arenas anymore, and haven't done arenas in many months. They match people based on ops level, not on power level. It goes 4 up and 4 down, I believe. In the first pic, you went up against a group that had an ops 64. The 68 and 69 in that group probably invited that 64 in the group so they could punch down against a lower power group like yours. The second group had a 67, which let the 71 and 69 in that group punch down against you. STFC has never fixed this and has no incentive to, because they want your frustration of being beaten up by higher ops players to push you into leveling up and spending.
It matches by ops / power / AAAAAND your Arena lvl.
The last one is most important for prime matching BUT if you stay in matching queue too long it will match you up or down.
This needs not to be fixed. This is the mechanics.
Play a lot, buy your favors, have the smallest Arena lvl person lead and donāt stay in queue for too long - rather refresh it.
We matched with 50s yesterday (being a 43 in a group of similars that looked like a loss) and we won with 15 difference and a loooot of punching up.
So yeah - this is what it is. We just need to learn how to play it and really need to stop complaining about one and the same thing for months š
I just spent 40,000 rerolls on 10k tasks looking for a few specific ones. This was right after refresh so it's not like they were all taken by my alliance mates. Keep getting the same crappy ones over and over.
That sucks
40 rerolls and nothing I wanted.
What's the point of this?
You try to encourage engagement yet fail to fix the core issues.
You set the incentives up to only want to do specific tasks that we hord up for a month then make it hard to find them ... Not fun.
Discourages spending.
<@&509690795536941056>
These counters have been sitting at 1D / 3D for the past 20 minutes..... did time stop for ticketed events?
@lavish basalt I call it the "aggravation" events!
Love the greedflation in Alliance tournaments. NOT
Good lord, why did you mess with the tournament? The one bright spot of Scopely interference and you messed it up. What is wrong with you?
galactic recruits, multiphaic credits>??? wow,, how obvious can you be?
materials spend SLB only? no SMS?
We seem to be missing the Syndicate pass event also...
Is this a Joke? who's laughing... lvl 21 ships recommended for Temporal interceptions. 500 ventings later....
Is there a syndicate BP pass event tonight?
I used all my refresh on these few days to get specific AT task but unable to get it, this is literally rigged too much. The chance of getting free 10k must be below 1% while the pay one above 10% each. The same 10k literally appeared over and over, whoever see that know the free 10k might as well removed if it's this riggedš š š
Syndicate event has now populated. thank you
Wow. No officer recruit SMS, of any kind. Instead, an ALB that pays a pittance of depot tokens, and an SLB that will end up terrible value for the spend⦠š
and what is the planetary charts? are you insane?
Relativity upgrade event. I cannot upgrade further so I should be just given the pts for the event else you need to make the events better for participation until completion.
Is there a Materials SMS this weekend? I just see the SLB. I rarely place in the SLB but look forward to a tier or two on the SMS.
SLB of slightly older officers with no SMS ( even if SMS milestones are a joke ) is an automatic pass. In older news. Why have these never been fixed! Seriously ā¦..
@queen kindle Level 53 player still seeing sigma mat spend tasks for alliance tournaments, how is that adjusted when i cannot get any of them let alone spend them.
Here is some honest feedback. Nothing that is done is for the benefit of players. It is done purely to sell packs.
Level 53 still better, 47 also get that task
<@&509690795536941056> whatever you guys did for the tasks for the AT is HORRIBLE!!!! The amount of re-rolls it takes to get something good is ridiculous, nay, itās GARBAGE!!! Do better!
The outpost events are nothing short of disgusting. Way too few of them for the player count, and higher ops also punch lower down to take the ones that are the only ones ops 51-53 have a chance against. Please add more systems or adjust the mechanic so it doesn't take hours upon hours to get one!
And again we have Outposts that are not armadas(?) yet still not allowing for armadas to be launched, while we have an armada event running simultaneously with the outpost event. Thank you very much, Scopelyā¦.
<@&509690795536941056> Can you let me know what the psychologists that direct y'all on how to design the game so that we spend more think about this, please: I find myself being able to complete fewer and fewer events. Sometimes they're too difficult and other times their too time consuming. So I just skip them and go about my day. The more it's happened, the more accustomed I've gotten to skipping events. The more events I skip the less engaged I feel with the game. The less engaged I feel, the less value I get from spending my money on the game. The less i feel there's value, the less I spend.
eg. I used to buy all the battle passes, no questions. Now, it's something I have to remember to do, and decide that the contents are worth my money. As I'm less engaged, I don't always remember. When I do remember, I realize it's value to me isn't what it once was.
Xsolla says it's done. ??????????????????
Scopely do you have real people working for you?
Xsolla is their payment processor. they're not employees of Scopely
this is also not the right channel
you know what? I want Scopely to respond. This is mot the only channel I've tried.
You should file a ticket with CS to look into it. #š½-how-to-contact-support
really? no
poening tickets every day due to incompetence and not gettinfg replies, is a waste of time.
opening
op
the ticket system is designed specifically to get your problem resolved. it's not always perfect, but complaining on a discord where maybe 1-2 people actually have access to your payment information is not going to get your problem solved
The people allowed to affect your account are the CS reps. If you don't want to talk to them and instead talk to someone else, then you're simply talking to the wrong people.
so i should just shut up?
ops 80? gotcha
server 80. if you want to quibble over things that have no relation to your problem, you're just wasting your own time
sorry if I bugged you. Just a but tires of sending in tickets
tired
wasting time is the truth
Reducing the syndicate XP from 3 million back down to 800k was so helpful. I can now collect 338.6k per day. Where am I supposed to get the remaining 461.4k? Thanks for slapping players in the face like this.
I was so happy to hit syndicate 55 so I could do that task. No
let's see what CmdrC has to say
it's not much of answer, but if you purchased the premium Syndicate Pass pack and waited, that would've given you one task completion. hate to suggest a $ option, but eh
alternately, if you didn't purchase the pack yet, but bought it now, that'd do the same
I haven't seen any math where it's f2p-able again yet, which stinks
I purchased an epic boirg ... against my better jjudgement
Candle - please don;t say file a ticket
It's possible to do it once f2p with careful play and collecting the free track of the syndicate bp. The collects are on a 22h timer, but the task is up for 24h. But yes, the nerf has significantly reduced the total f2p income from that task.
ah, I'd forgotten that the pulls aren't 24h. good shout
we know, I made a mistake but decided to purchase it. Didn't get it.
It is time sensitive
and yes, filed a ticket
This tournament is all about making money. There's no other reason why these tasks were changed. Previously, you could complete them by collecting the daily stuff. That's really disappointing, especially because it's made so obvious.
i will never understand how it's still possible to burn 100k AT rerolls and not have a 10k refresh
spend 100 bucks and buy some more rerolls
Not sure how you're doing your re-rolls, or what you're hoping to accomplish, but the AT Task board has 3 sections (although Tasks are randomly mixed now on the board instead of being neatly grouped). There are only 3 Tasks at a time with 12k re-roll tokens (call them Top Tasks). If you're hoping to get a different Top Task, then you need to re-roll a Top Task. A re-roll doesn't redo the entire board. You also cannot re-roll a 1500-pt Task and hope for a 10k Top Task (because those 2 Task types are in different sections).
This is a bad idea, your removing player incentive to grow
Lmao , yes we all want to hit more ships over and over
And this gem too, a nice way of saying you're going to have to grind far more than before because we hate our players
it wouldn't be so bad if us g5 players weren't limited to g5 space because of an ops-locked warp path
Hello. I periodically disappear from the game and I have accumulated unused currency of different seasons in the warehouse. Donat monthly chips, Borg points, various tickets. I wanted to know if it is possible to somehow implement them in the game or maybe there is some kind of compensation for them. I don't especially hope, but they won't give you a head for askingš
It's just a bit disappointing that all the money I spent playing or wasting was wasted)š
I am not as upset by the changes (and I am upset and becoming disengaged because of the onslaught of recent changes aimed at my wallet). I am upset by them allowing the month of hoarding leading up to the event. If they announced the change I could have changed strategies a month ago. It would have felt cheap, but I would not be upset. The last minute rug pull makes it feel like they took something away from me.
Weshalb habe ich den KP Ćberschuss nicht bekommen? Ich habe alle gelƶĆt?
Can you on the alliance tournament store add confirmation before purchase like "Please confirm: Yes/No"....so many times it happened that when scrolling and looking on the page it goes back on top, and even when I want to buy something at the bottom (e.g. prime) and I click it at the same time goes up the page and I finish buying something else...or fix the page to auto go back to top!
Repair the timeline event not scoring. Tried a few different things.
Noticed the same thing.
How do we score in the repair the timeline event?
Hit a hostile exactly 30 levels lower than you.
That worked thank you
My alliance is at the top Emerald chain level. Will you expand it nxt time since not much use as most hv collected all the rewards.
So now STFC is a garden scape hunt the puzzle game. How pathetic.
<@&509690795536941056> For the anniversary events, I sure hope you bring back the extra FC seat that was purchasable in events before but the ferengi shop has never included it. A lot of players are waiting for that opportunity.
To the great overlords designing these events to pay for the monthly yacht bill at Scopely⦠yāall really messed up alliance tournaments, and the āfixā you guys rolled out was atrocious at best. You have made the events for the g4 players asinine, the g5 events are slightly less worse than the g4, and the g6+ events are apparently just aimed at getting money for your kidsā college tuitions. Advancements/Relegations need to be thrown out the window for this one, and you guys need a serious gut check on how you are pushing new content. Too many endless grind loops, continual alienation of your lower players, pandering to the spend-a-holic credit card kings, and just a general sense of being tone deaf to the interests of your base. <@&509690795536941056>
<@&509690795536941056> I turned in a bunch of FC Dust in the refinery and got BUPKIS for UC FC credits! Turned in a support ticket and still no response. I have been sitting on a 8k AT task all day because this game is crap and now I am going to be forced to eat this task. Iām not HAPPY!
Is there a breakdown of battle points per day? Trying to figure where I missed.
That task is only doable by upgrading the command center. Many players have been caught by the wording.
dust is for rares, unc FC credit change in Janeway, Seven etc credits
What a joke of a gift it has paid out itās lowest ā1000ā every day. Change the RNG on āgiftsā what a let down
I've had nothing but 1ks I think one of the mods had a 3k they must have better rng than us regulars
Right, itās just dumb whatās the point of programming such crapā¦ā¦
Thatās not the one. That one you are talking about is the 10k one. Thatās not what I am on.
I spent zero mats and zero cash this weekend for no other reason than there was no sms event
Texas class is not counting properly. I can count the required kills in my inbox. The points have not been awarded for each kill in the Alliance tournament
I've not missed 1 BP anyone else short?
Scopely rolls out a crap āupdateā to AT scoring, gets mauled by the player base for their - yet again - tone deaf approach to game āimprovements,ā then āfixesā things by making stuff slightly less atrocious, but still grossly out of reach for 90% of players that arenāt willing to mortgage their house to buy their way through tournaments. Whatās the reward? Relegation because of terrible decisions from the overlords⦠#DoBetterScopely
Gained a rank in the tourneys but can not buy stuff from that rank in the tourney store, way to blow Scopely
That one was a surprisingly easy sms most finished days ago
<@&509690795536941056> STOP. Just stop. Stop junking up the screen with stupid āoffers.ā Besides that, I canāt click/tap this away so that I can get the helps button back.
Ok, now the helps button shows up and this unnecessary āspecialā button slides to the left, but just get rid of it. Weāre not stupid, we know where the offers are if we want to reward your shoddy work with buying packs. Remove it!
So the missions give a combined 480 Outpost Strike Directives when 600 are needed to start one. Please say the other 120 are still on the way and we're not going to be stuck with more inventory clutter.
where might these Ticketed events be?
I see the normal ticketed events, but no Anniversary ones. there's also an Anniversary SMS event, but it's not ticketed and doesn't score in that event
Yea, no Heist ticketed events shoing up
I remember the days when an anniversary token got you 120 shards of an epic officer. Those were good times.
Why when im 66 lvl i cant buy ship refit higher then ent-d? I dont need those now.
terrible rewards
Scopely McScrooge
most likely because they never bothered to design hijacked skins for anything higher than g5
They have them for G6 epics. You need to be ops 69 (maybe even 70) to see them.
do they? lame then
Its kinda crud. All excited for "anniversary gifts" only to find out it will take multiple days of them to afford ANYTHING worth while.
Yyyyā¦. Then mostly you donāt need them
What is this for? Can't seem to find a use.
no, it specifically says "ticketed"
ure right (magic triangle... think - pause - post :D)
Well, i am lvl 69 and i see only the G5 ships skins as well ..
Iām so glad my alliance has been in the masters league for so long has been relegated to expert league. I wonder how many points people couldnāt score off a tasks that you changed. Thanks again $copley for another amazing change to your events.
The quality of items in the Anniversary Shop very well represents the quality of the game this last year.
Well done Scopely for representing the uniqueness of your ideas for the last 12 months.
I like how you used the word "uniqueness" in a polite manor lol
We've never been in master league. Points were easy this time gettjng 2 10ks a day. And no spend. Takes careful planning.
You might want to plan a little better. Weāve been in master league since the second tournament. As an alliance, we did plan, especially on one task that people could get 50,000 points through the tournament. Now they can get 10,000 once maybe. If youāre banking on that material task, theyāve already said weāre not going to guarantee choice tokens will be allowed during a tournament. Making that one worth worthless as well.
Im lost why, at level 46 when all my ships are G4, there are only G3 refit options for this anniversary thing? Thx? I can get things that will never be used? Yay.
Refit rewards are total trash. Are you guys even listening
Ok, they definitely made it 70 then, since I can see them.
Who remembers last year and the year before when we got a full unlock - 120 shards 
Oh look! one of the heist ticketed events finally showed up. Says we can start it in 22 hours. So the 7 day event, the first day doesnt even count? And we need 12k points to complete? But the events only award 100 points? Math not mathing
I will correct myself as it is an AMS.
still tho. Why give us a 7 day event and not even let us participate in the first day?
There are far too few outposts, especially from the 51st class. You wait for hours just to be able to attack one, and then this happens. Truly impressive.
Why am I, a level 54, competing against people in the high 60s and 70's for this SLB? They have access to G6 and 7, I don't
Maybe you thought this would make me want to buy a ship or spend to upgrade? Either way....wrong thinking because it's having the opposite effect
They just extended brackets instead of making new ones. Same for tons of āold eventsā
Its ridiculous though. Effectively it removes the Ahead of the Curve SLB placement option for lower levels and just gives "pander to the money" vibes.
Which - from a marketing perspective, is entirely wrong thinking again, because if your spenders are getting rewards for top of SLB (thanks to smashing people 20 levels below them), they are LESS likely to spend to compete against their peers
Wait, did we get short changed on the last milestone for the MAIN battlepass? Like I donāt see it in passed events to see if I claimed the last milestone.
I got mine
What was the last reward for it by chance? I know it was officer shards for the epic, but what else? Iām trying to gauge if I got it
Lat rush is a total waste of effort now. If whales want to do it good luck to them. Rewards are awful at my level. 57
Yea, now if whales compete even slightly, no one can get a chance no matter how hard they work. Turned in over 200 million mats to not even get close to top 10
Where are these ticketed events?
They start tomorrow according to event schedule
Which makes no sense when its supposed to be a 7day event but the first day apparently dont count
Thanksš«”
Not long ago, holiday events used to be cool. hailing frequencyās, full character unlocks, all sorts of cool things. Now, if we do all the things, we apparently get part of an officer. A Turkey is very appropriate as an icon for this event
They were obviously more concerned with filling up our screens with more ads. Now i have 3 places on my screen to buy the same thing... JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED
Thanks for posting this. I was wondering what the heck it was. Why is it even on our screen if we can't do it?
Just to annoy us
Investor owned 'anything' is all about greed.
The blog says we get 4 of those tokens⦠So shards worth a full unlock. Except now you donāt need to worry about wasting full shards when you might get close to a rank or unlock. Can mix and match how each of the 4 tokens are spent
On that note, I actually really appreciate 4 separate tokens for exactly that reason
there are only 3 Anniversary Ticketed events on the schedule. 100 points per. That's 300 points. but it takes 3000 just for the first level of the Meta and 12k to finish it. its a dead event?
with 3 events = 300 Total, need at least 40 Members in your alliance to finish there ticket events, to complete the AMS
40 who complete all three. i guess this is a large alliance only event
well its an AMS thats what an alliance event is
I like this event design. Assuming milestone 4 is fairly reasonable for people, slightly easier there just to get meta completion.
But, added milestone 5 stretch goal for those who want to do more (more currency and mystery token)
I'm guessing everyone knows by now that we lose a day in the Anniversary Heist AMS because the AMS started today, but the ticketed events don't start until tomorrow.
you're not losing anything, but I agree that it was dumb that they offset the events by 1 day from the AMS. your alliance will only need to complete 120 ticketed events across 3 days, so 40 completions per event
So this started but no events?
Hasn't started
look at literally the three posts above yours
Go back one tile....bottom just above join button says STARTS
Can anyone tell me which event, that awards just 2 BP's, did I miss during last month's event?
I was 2 BP short as well, so think it was intended. Thankfully I now have the squall and can get the remaining 2 using epic transogen.
Can you please stop having us donate mats and trit in missions?
So... the ticketed event for the heist which we were already robbed a day of... disappears instead of being available? And giving players too low a power level Aggregation as our only option of scoring in the other one? Thx Scope.... thx
Are you kidding me? Stop being so stingy on Speedups. These are more of an insult than a reward. Tell me you are out of touch without telling me youāre out of touch
Unannounced 4 days are irresponsible - who is putting together the calendar? Wasn't Chronicles held weeks ago? Grrrrr
Running another cota so close to the last one. And it's the same scoring that everyone was complaining about last time? Mmhm.
Communication sucks, event rewards are terribleā¦if the events are actually there and launch correctly. Why should we engage or spend a dime when you canāt get the basics correct? You donāt understand your playersā¦at allā¦.Despite us telling you for years.
This seriously makes me want to delete
and to think I used to be one of the ones defending you
How do you have a battlepass overflow end in 24 hrs??? <@&509690795536941056>. Also, isnāt this a Flash Pass and not a Battlepass?
Pssst! <@&509690795536941056> Where is Ticketed Event? It was just there yesterday except we couldnt join it, and now that its a day laterā¦.Wha happen?
Literally everything about the events today is B.S. Luckily however, not one brain cell was harmed in its execution.
you right
it was in the same spot as the one yesterday that we couldnt use. So I jumped lol
Looks like they fixed the overflow event but now I dont have any points in it
same
same
there it is
i love my events like I like my women. Snuck in my back door after hours.
Can we kick the choice reward turn ins back on for a few days into the overflow or intermission? Im so used to it spilling over that I went to look today to spend mine from the spill over from Alliances tournaments, and it was gone.
You want me to kill 80 level 71 ships for CoW? As a fresh 71? Not happening.
The new COW rewards look just as terrible as before but now with a tiny sprinkle of sigma parsteel added? Is that the whole change? As ops67 I will get a whole 2000 sigma parsteel from the milestones combined, I'll be sure to not spend it all at once! Still also 500B regular steel split over regular and tokens, can't remember if that's the same or not but feels like it anyway. So not really a big change there despite the big announcement about making this relevant again??
Oh? People are complaining about the events? Lets bring back the events everyone complained about before, only with far more glitches! New and improved!
<@&509690795536941056> yesterdayās ticket event couldnāt be started as it was showing that it started today, that one has disappeared and todayās ticketed event just says retrieving so.
$ā”Oā±ā¬Ā£Ā„ doing a VERY good job of limiting the good events to P2W players...
Seems like theme of this year has been upheld by the Anniversary Events...
I cant imagine why people are leaving the game in droves? Weird? Youd think making your players annoyed and frustrated would encourage an economic upturn, amirite?
Hey. Complete this ticketed event.
How? It's a secret
Thought by now you'd know retrieving means restart your client 5 times, uninstall it, reinstall it and cross your fingers.
and give us tickets
Ive completed all the events, but only have 1 ticket.....how do we do this? UPDATE: after completing today's event, this one is now showing and I can enter.
you dont. Because they refuse to get their heads out of their behinds
actually, I have enough after doing todays events to start one. So apparently you need to do 2 days of events to unlock 1 of these ticketed. Which means each player can only complete 3 in theory. so to complete the AMS, you will need 40 ppl to deal with this mismanaged mess
if you completed the final milestone in yesterday's Anniversary SMS and today's, you should have 2 tickets
you know, if the event is ever actually loaded
Aggregation event for a lvl 45? Yeah ok scopely.
thats what i said
took me forever. kill 1. blow up. repeat
and only way i could kill one was to use support ships
<@&509690795536941056> Finished event 1 hour ago and no points given to overflow.
yup, known issue
they already said they are sending comp boxes to us that had that happen
Thanks š
np
Aggregation event for a 45 is dumb, especially for a fresh 45 it's impossible...
Same boat as you, man. I'm trying to figure it out.
Why so stingy with the sigma speed up rewards CoW?? It's already bad enough trying to get decent speed up's for 60+.
whats poppin? š¤”
Use exos and support ships. Was the only way I managed
I am 46 and had to blow up and return 15 times
really a satisfying event..... not
today is the first i have killed one lol using a t9 newton am 46
Why is this event on for ops46 when we got 0 chance to hit them as building required for it is not available till ops 50
i can do it 2 hostiles before i go boom using t9 newton. is a š© event tho
u should be able to build it
dont get me wrong, its definetly asking too much
Its a stupid event. 90% of players wont be able to do it
lolol Bucket
which then means they cant participate in the ticketed event
which then means they cant score toward their AMS
so because it is so unbalanced, many alliances will have no chance in completing the AMS
Yep its a downward path, once you exclude your playing base, what do you think will happen? And the ceo has the cheek to say they are working to make players life easier.
All the recent changes to older events have only made them more difficult and made it so less people could participate in a reasonable way. This new foundations of power has taken away even more ways to participate. You've done nothing to make the event more rewarding in anyway you legit just went back and made them worse for the entire player base. I feel like scopely is spiraling at this point they are going back and ruining old events in the hopes of making more $$$ which is only going to make more people leave which will lead to them trying to nickel and dime people even more.
Genuinely do you think these recent changes to the AT and Foundations of power will make people want to stick around more? Its so baffling to me.
Removing other specialty factions like DTI, and then also removing research and ships from the material spending, is nothing but an absolute kick in the pants to players.
Oh do you have all your buildings upto date? Yes? Well sucks to be you, gonna fail this event
But dont worry! If you spend $1000 or so, you can rush a few levels of OPs, buy the needed materials, and THEN you can participate. Perfectly reseanable right?
P.S. rearranging the events every 5 minutes does not constitute fixing them.
at least you named it properly, "bucket". Like my trash bin
Really...
I'm 100000% convinced they just have chatgpt write it and have literally no intentions of following through as we can see so far.
The Aggregation event essentially can't be done FtP at ops 45. My best ship realistically is my T7 Voyager (my NSEA protector is only T2 and has not FT/CT available). Even with the Recommended Bridge crew I can't kill a single level 45 Aggregation Hostile. I'm nowhere near unlocking my Kelvin.
The Jem Hadar event for ops 44 is almost as bad. I need to defeat 100+ Jem Hadar ships and my best ship on my ops 44 account is a maxed Enterprise
you don't have a monaveen or relativity or a g4 uncommon?
@oak crescent, I have a T1 Relatively, no G4 uncommon ships
I would suggest getting a g4 uncommon. Scopely designs events around the assumption that you have the ships available to your ops level. dumb? maybe, but it'll make your life easier
@oak crescent, that's easier said than done as a FtP account. I'm getting 3-4 Kelvin BP's a day from the Away Team and Faction Stores. I don't want to grind Kelvin BP's by farming Federation Hostiles as I'm pushing my Fed Rep.
The Jem Hadar event isn't as bad as I feared. I can farm the Jem Hadar easily enough
In addition to making it so that I don't accidentally buy Diplomacy Tokens that I don't need or want, would you kindly sort the items in the Alliance Tournaments Store so I don't have to scroll through the entire list to find all the [Item Type] items? I'm sure the level of disorganization is intended to drive sales but I just find it to be yet another time sink that detracts from the store's value... Unless, of course, this would take time away from re-fixing the task list, which is an obvious priority
Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed the mid ops experience this month. I was in the Voyager range and it was fun
Officer Flash Pass isn't showing up for ops 14. Did it get moved to higher ops?
They have no incentive to make things easier for you. They would rather you quit than be a drain on resources.
The incentive is to make people want to play. If they enjoy playing, they are more willing to pay.
@brave wigeon, I'm not asking for Easy Mode. All I'm saying is that given the difficulty level of Aggregation Hostiles, the event split should have been higher than ops 45.
45 is definitely too low for the majority. Especially for an event that is a requirement for access to an event to score for an AMS. You got enough hoops.
event : ANIVERSARY HEIST PT. 1 OVERFLOW - SMS (from Aniversary Heist Event) IS NOT LINK IN/WITH BATTLEPASS EVENT ! The battlepass points get it in battlepass events it's not reported/count it into event Aniversary Heist pt.1 Overflow - SMS !
Cota is nothing more than a scopay money pit ftp players have no chance of making those points
F2P has chance, just not in every month.
Oh my word. At osp 63 and after many surges I can now finally do one pull... too bad the refinery is worse than what the daily refines are. A drop in the ocean once every month or so isn't much of anything... No wonder only 3 of the alliances on my server ever even attempt the event.
You haven't done that many surges.. I have 4.5k of the stuff banked but it's not going on any of those packs it's being saved for G7 research
Why am I in a bracket vs Ops 70s who have the Vengence and are able to do the higher Outposts? Fix the Ops Ranges, throw them in a XSLB
Maybe you should have picked an actually doable mission for a daily event.
I thought it was me missing something or Scopely can't do math. Don't have my Squall yet, but I'm close. Now I know which ship to grid next.
Yeah I got voyager ship parts⦠my voyager has been maxed for like two years š
i've been here all 7 years and I couldn't feel less excited for the anniversary event. so sad that we have to join a hostile hunt event, not going to bother with it. the state of the game is trash. you promised quality over quantity and yet quantity is all that remains
They havent done archiving of ships that they promised .... events rewards are just getting stingier and stingier - the up grade mechanics of scoring on events, but not the rewards .... anniversary event rewards very disappointing ... happy anniversary stfc .... like another member said ... remember a few years ago when we actually got rewards for free epic officer .... that was fun ... having to decide which officer you wanted š
your better saving that stuff till your ops 71+
its intended use
I know I'm a day ot two late on this, but am I the only one hoping there could be some sort of Event store Rollover, especially since each month its going to be so similar? (sorry to @ you @near saddle, but I'm not sure where/how yo ask a question like this in a way that will surely be seen: am totally open to you educating me on the preferred method)
But yeah, I got boned AGAIN, getting confused by all the new additions and subtractions to the event store tab, and thought I had more time than there was to decide on how to spend the store credits.
I kind of saw from the onset that f2p, I wouldn't get enough to get all that I wanted, but thought there must have been something I was missing, as surely last time we got more than just enough for a half prime and a few more odds and ends: I was holding out hope there would be another source of credits and I could get more than one, so I waited, also assuming that the battle pass choice rewards and ferengi store woiuld "close" on the same day.
File a ticket with CS if you've missed the window to spend credits from any event store. They usually help with that. #š½-how-to-contact-support
Thank you so much, but believe it or not, this keeps happening to me (usually when I know the deadline is up, but try to do too much in the session, and pass out in the early hours of the morning before finishing), and I think they're getting tired of accommodating me! it doesn't hurt to ask though š I was hoping that if there were enough people in the same boat, or have felt that same frustration, Scopely could be persuaded to be more lenient on this matter in general
Really appreciate the reply!
Would be better if scopely simply stopped expecting players to be active 12-16 hours a day. Itās insanity.
Judging from the peace shields you get in your dailies, Scopely seems to expect players to be away from the game for no longer than 12 hours at a time.
I have ran a few Outpost since the event was "Fixed" at no point will i EVER take part or bother looking at this hot trash its not worth my time or effort. And Conner or who ever is the puppet master is the people you have surrounded yourself with about the feedback of the game should be demoted to toilet washers because they are feeding you a load of fecal matter. do you guys even play the game? because if you did you would know how bad it is! Things that are CLAIMED to be fixed are still not and the ones that have been worked on are still not at the level of being fixed as they should be by now and we're talking some pretty rudimentary stuff. We all know the truth is hard to hear but if y'all don't start taking some of the constructive criticism from the actual community the thud will be heard around the gaming world faster then one can blink an eye from what i have see so far as a G5 and holding off from being a G6 player because i don't see the Value of being one let alone G7 .... we have a G3 about to push G4 player that is only getting G2 trash in his Treasury and emailed your support and nothing but a canned message! seriously the guy can go buy a $20 pack and get more value than $100 to unlock that hot trash! and everything in Connor's post has been stated several times over and nothing has been done so far so is it ignorance or lies and on a player side it shows a lot of incompetence from the "Overlords" I have said it before and i will say it again this is starting to look like a pump and dump your teem can look up my account my IGN is the same here i have put some skin in the game and spent some but with how bad then game has been i have cut back on my spending in this game a lot heck and still like a 30-day peace Shield so i could log off for that time with hopes that all this outpost trash is gone from the game for good. right here I'll be blunt because I know my politeness above is probably overlooked there needs to be a severe immediate and drastic restructuring with all hands involved on this game and in corporate speak you know what that means
but hey again this is just the view of a lowly G5 player - MadBones - Have a good day, Everything is a journey and not a guided tour, do better be better let's learn from our quagmires
**very **over-optimistic give events-about-buildings like the current Foundations of power (SMS & even SLB!) for the players opc61+. I'm 65 atm and with current speed-ups income I can afford 1 or maximum 2 buldings per WEEK
No. Because ever since they got rid of the end of arc store, ships acquisition is more difficult. First of all the have caps on how many BPās you can get per event. Second amount of currency you get relative to what the ships cost is way out of wack. Again, it didnāt use to be this way.
nah, it did. Voyager was the first big grind. And it usually took 100 days without events.
most of those ships are 100 days
they have actually made ship acquisition easier by providing so many more event stores that help out.
as much as I dont want to defend them
the real problem is that there are SO MANY of those grinds now.
and we are somehow expected to have them the second we get into their level range
It didnāt take me 100 days to get Voyager. It took about a month. If you only did the Hirogen turn in, then sure. But see there was this thing called āan end of arc storeā. In the middle of my Voyager grind I could buy all the rem BPās. And poof! Just like that I instantly had a Voyager without grinding for 100. Days. Took about 30 between the Hirogen turn-in and the end of arc store. Sorry you missed it. It was a good time had by all.
thus why i said "without events"
I have only been back for a few months and have seen 4 different events that I could get BPs for Monaveen, Relativity, and many more. Problem is you have so many ships you need BPs for, and those events share the currences for officers and everything else you want.
This is the event feedback channel and my comment was specifically about the missing event mechanic that let you catch up on ships. So why are you replying with ānahā about what I said? And telling me about the grind without events? Again this is the EVENT FEEDBACK channel. Are you lost?
Haha. Sorry. I know its painful to be wrong. Good luck then
Yeah youāre wrong and lost. Itās a deadly combination. Would you like to share any other irrelevant information in the wrong channel or are we good now?
š¤£
I hear you about the specialty ships, but a g4 uncommon is easily obtainable
Dont respond! Don't you know responding to a comment has no business in this channel?
Oh no! What have I done! I've responded to a comment responding to a comment! I must be lost
if you have an argument against someone's feedback, then feel free to provide it. it seems like you're more interested in starting an argument with the player though
When they come at me with that kind of anger, absolutely. I simply was saying the events have actually increased the amount of BPs we get for said ships. But whatever. Not like I havent witnessed it first hand or anything.
and had you left it at that, I wouldn't have made my previous comment. you continued, though. why not just step away for a bit?
Where's the fun in that? Threw a fit because I had a different opinion and then had to add "are you lost" and all that.
alright, it seems like you just want to argue then, for "fun." I'm going to take my own advice and step away
Have a great day! You seem like a wonderful person and give good advice š
This takes waay to long for g7 and is very expensive for time and trit. Please add scoring for level 69-71 G6 hostiles or increase the G7 scoring. 80 hostiles is a bit much. 15 points per hostile at 71 instead of 10 would also help a lot
You also can hit lvl 71 hostiles in G6 space.
Which are random spawns. Itās clear they intended us in g7 to hit g7
Not fast, but cheap.
You're literally missing half the point
In that case it's a half solution š
no Ship XP or Officer XP alternative for those who are pausing progress before going up š š
You can't be serious! It's impossible to have that many Sigma accelerators and g6 materials.. For just a few event coins. The meta is impossible now. Thanks for nothing. Play your own game!!!
2 people in my bracket hit the third milestone. Once again, I donāt care if itās heroic, players donāt like this and it doesnāt feel good. I finished first in the last CAM one with two completions ( of 5 ) on the sms. How is this rewarding advancement Connor? You guys need to seriously adjust milestones, they are consistently ridiculous. I would ask for a scopley person to look at my account and see what it takes to finish an SMS. You guys have to stop being so shortsighted. <@&509690795536941056>
Do NOT ever make such an event part of a way to complete a meta. This is again most insulting to the player base. Did entire scopely again forget to put their brains on active?
Again a proof GM Coner pnly talks bullcrrap
Zum Kotzen!
Big middle finger to the players, again.
what the hell is this?. agg. smuggled study?.
thanks. guess they ran out of allowed characters to spell out the word.
presumably shortened due to character limit. it's called Studies in the actual description
It's a rare occasion when they do this type of event. I keep useless but big point researches for these. Easily finished this event, and still have a lot of researches/favors.
Isn't the point of black Friday to have actual sales? The basic BP is the same price as always lol.
seeing this a lot
how dare they name a battle pass blackfriday and charge same price 99.99 19.99
Right?!?! No savings at all and nothing additional of value. More money for RL I guess!!!
Sent you a friend request
Scopely didnt even bother to use different icons for simultaneous event rewards
And what do you expect from a company whose main slogan is buy 1, get 3 and pay 100?š¤£
when are you going to add more xindi rare max sites to the game, as bad as the cardassian lv 50 when everyone was sitting in the one site waiting to get an armada, xindi rare worse, as only 3 armadas at any given time, to go around , how many hundreds of players, a total farce and joke, you all should be sacked for gross incompetence
Anniversary event heist domination sms score is not working properly. Upgraded level 67 platform (c80m power boost) and it gave me 1m points. Based on 20pts per point, I should have 160m and completed the event in one hit
Did CoW get adjusted? Feel like we are scoring much better than yesterday.
If so, thank you for improving it
the first two milestone are the toughest ones to reach. after that it snowballs pretty quickly, at least in my experience
maybe thats what it was. But dang yesterday was rough
Another battlepass, they're so greedy it's disgusting. Most games/apps at least do events for different holidays and show appreciation for their customers. STFC just sells you stuff and each one has less loot, is shorter in time. This is just plain greed.
Meanwhile, at ops 14ā¦
It canāt be said often enough how ridiculous the outpost event is. Ops 60ās and higher are punching down and capturing the 51ās, and since there are so few of them already, this becomes more of a Ā«who can click capture fastest after 4 hoursĀ» than anything else. I just missed out of one I have been waiting for, due to lag.
If you are going to run events with new content - at least make it so that people can compete on equal terms and get a chance to join!
I wouldn't blame the design team for that, but the 60+ that are punching down, because not only are they weak for their level but dumb as well. I would think most people would have realized that the loot from the hostiles is kind of junk and that the real value comes from the building, so by them punching down their building is going to be incredibly slow to upgrade. (which, ironically, limits the amount of loot they get from the hostiles)
that said, they really could do with adding another group of 51 systems
They are hitting that low to ensure that they can survive all of the waves and score for «holding outpost» in the event. This is rarely an issue with armadas (think Apex event, also usually super crowded), but with the hours upon hours long lasting of outpost waves is a design flaw unless they add more systems/outposts.
ah, I hadn't considered that. in that case, I retract my argument
I am finding all the battle passes and events atm to be messy and a chore to read. Not a fan of the officer rewards as they are too expensive and little gain. Actually since i began playing all the rewards and shop items have really dropped in value for money and relevance. I would like to see more content relevant to the ships i and working on. These current events leave me feeling unmotivated unfortunately. I will say that the graphics look really nice.
The entire UI has become a muddled mess. I keep telling myself to create a spreadsheet/checklist with the things I want to do on any given day. And then I remember this is a mobile game, it already requires multiple spreadsheets, Scopely wonāt release an api so each sheet is perpetually outdated and that maintaining it all really isnāt worth it, especially when the actions of the people running the game seem intent on finding out how quickly they can force this game into maintenance mode. And then I get lost navigating the menuās, forget what I was trying to do, logout and find something else to do with my time
having this event running for multiple days whilst also retaining the hostile loot limit is completely ridiculous tbh, even more so when combined with the other active events such as xindi killing which i cannot get any loot for this week...
šÆ these have been brutal lately, the only way I can complete them in the lower ops is if I get lucky and have research i hoarded.
The TC Trailblazer SMS starts at least 3 hours late on Server 188 (possibly all APAC servers), missing the first three takeovers (ADIA, OTIMA, PERIM). This issue was reported by a 201 player on 12th November and has also been the case on our server since then. Opened a ticket, Scopely Support are no help denying there is a problem.
event : "Quark Anniversary Heist Meta - ASM" IS NOT LINK IN/WITH "Tickered Event: Anniversary Heist - The Lift - SMS" ! "All Millestones Completed" it is NOT reward 100 points into Quark Anniversary Heist Meta - ASM, it's not reported/count it into event ! ( server EU-409 , Ops lvl 26)
The milestones of the Chronicle event today are insanely high.
I'm ranking in the solo leader board and have only made the lowest SMS after an hour of click, click, clicking. Blown all kind of hoarded loot.
so, WHY isn't a Level or System preference for this Event listed?!? The 34lvl Reptilian Hostiles or Aquatic Hostiles are not scoring in this event! I've heard that 40lvl is required, but can't prove it since my ships aren't tiered enough to do so!
Calling Bureaucratic Shenanigans on this Event!!
Yeah, they said they helped me with a one-time choice reward chip issue recently, so they told me to pound sand.
That's ok. Makes it easier for me to resist the urge to spend any more in this game, and easier to leave when I do.
Indeed OPs 40 is the unlock for that event. The NX01 is the specialty ship for the Xindi
Thank you for making me kill a bunch of hostiles so that I can unlock an event to kill a bunch of hostiles š
Gone to Ops 51 recently and noticed that 70+ are in alot of the SLB brackets.... why? why are 61+ the bracket too? I thought the brackets are 21-30, 31-40 and so on. so why the silly brackets?
when g6 came out, they just tacked them on to the g5 brackets because they wanted to have the g6 players "have someone to compete with" (nevermind that g5 can't often compete with g6). they did fix it in a couple places, but they've decided to double down and add g7 to those same brackets in others
Segments are different for each event.
not the recurring ones, like the cube's Distinction Extinction event. right now a 66 is the highest scorer in the SLB, but there's at least one 71 in there. and I'm ops 60, so that's g5/g6/g7
ops 71 on mine, I can see myself getting first place as a newley minted ops 51 𤣠would be lucky to score at all on the leaderboard
no hijacked tos skins this time on Cota ship upgrade event ? lame
Did they only bring back megacube just that once?
For Klingon diversions sms, why are non rep Klingon hostiles not counting?
Oh nvm, itās just terrible game lag
Could've doubled the amount of gs-31 parts for 7.5k event store currency
This is very expensive
Besides being expensive, it's limited in quantity. As always,
scopely being scopely.
I work at a major grocery chain in our regional flagship store, so it's been a brutal nonstop week. I was exhausted when I finally got home last night, even before my closest friend in game got triggered by a real piece of work on our server; I spent most of 3:30 to 6:00 a.m. listening and talking while doing allll the pulls and loops in our beloved Rube Goldberg Fidget Spinner Nostalgia Loaded game. š„± š«©
2 or 3 different events get labeled Domination that use MOSTLY the same rubric, but this one did NOT count XP (not Officer nor Ship). I understand that it's on me to seek out The Devil hiding in the details. š š¶āš«ļøIt's just galling to have:
- Almost always ALL OR NOTHING mega rewards, although I fully agree that 100% effort deserves something special;
- Have NO RECOURSE HERE (neither F2P nor $) if you have a single 'bad day'; š
- No clear idea why the Domination Events point systems are not uniformly consistent; it's confusing at best and deceptive at worst. (And I've more than a few years of game development & publishing under my belt to give me various insights.) š
Tl;dr: Thanksgiving is RUINED!!1! š š š Why does Scopely hate me?!? (This is me pretending to throw a man child tantrum both for catharsis and to mock the actual ones š
Nonetheless, a Happy Thanksgiving to the CMs, Admins, and Mods for all for your consistent efforts and communication, especially with how often thankless it is. š š¤ š
Totally agree with you Ziln00bas. The way events push you around, forcing you into spending so much time, dictating what you should be doing each day instead of letting you decide what to work on whenever you have time -- it is a real turn off about this game.
This Power gain events should have officer xp and/or Ship XP did not go my way this event.
Joys of being ops 60...
It's a once in every 3 months event
@queen kindle So I know I've posted screenshot of the last event nerfing values
This event nerfed the values AGAIN
Research has went from being valued at 20 per point
To last event 15
To now 10!?
80 hostiles per faction is a bit muchā¦.your level scoring is waaay off for G7. We canāt punch up.
When did ship upgrades for faction hunt get tossed?
Why you removed ship upgrading from scoring in fraction hunt?
Connah is really brilliant
Why does faction hunt not award 5* mats?
I used to do the ship upgrades for it as I don't have time to spend that much grinding away at level appropriate hostiles for it
faction hunt no longer counting tiering up ships? honest question, how much does scopely hate its players base?
see that treasury event? see my credit card? no more. stop making events harder to complete.
keep making events harder, mine as well pull the plug.
So because it is stfc anniversary you feel that this should be another opportunity at asking for cash to play in these event or spend hours to do the event to get pennies on contest. It was suppose to be fun and enjoyable and we thought you had listen to our complaints and would take a notion to listen to the player base. Do right by the event. Use your brain to make event enjoyable not another grind and enough would enjoy to bestow cash on you but nope. Another form of give us money while u do drone task.
Do the rewards for faction hunt change, when accessing higher Ops? At Ops 52, I only get G4 mats.
OPS 54

Where is the usual flash pass overflow? You know the one that always has treasury rods in itā¦ā¦.. ???
Let me guess, (as we are on, I believe our 4th treasury of Nov!)
You have removed them as a reward to try and make people buy themā¦..!!!!
The greed at scopay will never stop, will it??
Check Anniversary Heist Events section
I wonder what % of players have already maxed FC Khan. And therefore cannot spend Khan SP today
I expect anyone who bought the Reliant has done that. I only got my Reliant in Sept and I've done that.
The only people who can score with that today are the non-spending, non-grinder class. Interesting class of players to reward
tier up of faction ships no longer counts for faction hunt? I hate that change with a vengeance. I wish that whomever approved that change has wet socks for the rest of their lives
Watch, I'll upgrade for other reasons and then they will change it back. š¤¦
this amount of rep is not worth anything... its 48 mil i get 60 mill from just borg refinery alone. With 2 trips in MU+Dailies i make about 30 bill rep daily, so 48 mil is worth less then a penny
this event needs to be based on Rep Rank not ops lvl
150 hostiles to complete Faction hunt for 3 days?
A 5 minute event when ship tiering would count now takes 20 minutes per faction - yeah, great āimprovement,ā Scopely.
removing ship tiering from FH is one of the worst "improvements" Scopely ever did. The raise in needed points as well. Was this again an intern, who decided that? Won't do this event anymore
<@&509690795536941056>
Ruined faction hunt by not tiering up ships anymore is a big step backwards and a let down. Not mention not having scrappable g5 ships. Why have any scrapping at all along with researches and bonuses to the fact. Definitely playing less and and questioning why play and or pay to play
Absolutely. Daily goals give 9.4m, sek31-Shop 3.5m. and FKR-Event 36k. Shooting transporters with Lootcrew make more effect on Reputation than the rewards.
Absolutely hate the scoring changes to faction hunt. IMO one of the whole points of progressing is to be able to easily complete events as you go up
(Ops 69). By removing the ability to tier ships for points, you have removed that progress and effectively set me back to day one.
It also conflicts with the whole āless grindā that we have been repeatedly promised but rarely delivered. I will not be participating, really hate that youāve taken this event from me.
Itās like these clowns want people to quit. I think itās workingā¦.
<@&509690795536941056> Why doesn't solo Borg spheres score for the armada event even though the event says that they do?
it says Borg Type does, not Borg. unnecessarily confusing, but Borg Type are the Q-Continuum/Revenant armadas
Well that's confusing and stupid. Thanks for the clarification though
so the changes in payout for the faction hunt changed great now I get g6 mats but still no g5 epic mats guess scopley will wait longer for me to ops up due to ship power and general lack of caring for the players. Oops forgot about the abysmal payout in rep ya I dont even grind rep and get more doing my usual daily stuff then this event five me for 3x more effort
If you're one of those like me and at the point where you're trying to get your next faction ship to reach higher hostiles but can't hit above your level by warp lockout without that ship upgrade option, it's not worth doing the faction hunt at all now without the ship upgrade option. Who in their right minds is going to spend 2 hours on each faction?
Once again scopely is run by stupid people. Faction Hunt they removed the ship Tier up to finish the event without having to GRIND hostiles. I donāt want to spend more time grinding in this game. I looked forward to faction hunt because I could finish very quickly and spend time doing other things more productive in this game. I hate u scopely because you do not listen to your player base AT ALL !!!!
YES. YES. ABSOLUTELY YES
