There isn't anyone left in this company except the interns.

[outer dome]

36 to 39 iirc for the bigger slbs

[obsidian quiver]

Thanks once again Scopely for making Lat rush a whales only event. Pitting players in their 50's against 70+ lvl players is not fair. Once again you have made your classic mistake of forgetting the mid and low level players. Good Job!

[icy mural]

Typically the winners run bots. The guy on our server literally has 100x the points the average player can achieve.

[uneven sequoia]

Lat rush is a waste of time these days if you are a higher level.

[spice ravine]

Warum bekommen Player unter Lv50 keine Chaostech-Teile in ihrem Kp? Dass ist ne verdammte Sauerei die Belohnungen im Kp derart ungerecht anzupassen. Die grösseren Spieler können sich schön die Elitespur kaufen und haben ne Chaostech mehr und die kleineren Spieler haben (wieder einmal mehr) das nachsehen. Macht nur so weiter ihr vergrault die noch nicht 50+ Player!
Great Job Scopely! 🤮

[analog pumice]

14.710.000 / 40 = U-Mats 367.750
14.710.000 / 60 = S-Mats 245.166
= nicht zu schaffen / not Realistik
= event-boycott

[errant jetty]

Why include an Event to a system set to mine Trellium with ships that are NOT equipped with countermeasures against Magnetic Mines?!? Not even the Serene Squall can get thru those systems! Congrats to those who have access! As for the rest of us Discriminated against.... shame on you

[analog pumice]

@errant jetty
i think, u was a little wrong?
Serene Squall (Ship) = Transogen
The Event Mirror Mining = Trellium
Trellium Mining = NSEA Protector (Ship)

[naive sphinx]

It's a waste of time for lower lvls because no matter how hard you try, how many active hours you spend, you'll never reach the top prizes.

[rancid blaze]

If I recall the condition is to dock trellium A or D. Go hit hostiles. Or camp the systems (Mirror Wolf) with the warp entrances and hit the OPC ships that pop out at the end of their timers.

[ruby bloom]

I had to click in daily to see which event I had completed. It would have been nice if the one that had been completed had a stamp on it so that we could have a better overview of which one we had completed.

[crimson galleon]

why aren’t critical hits in mirror space counting towards the outpost event? The outpost event doesn’t specify that outpost hostiles must be killed.

[thin void]

The trivia answer about Ezri Dax’s rank is wrong

[maiden condor]

The question is formulated badly, but then again, it's Scopely so... 😄
It's unclear what the term "joins DS9" means. Formally joins the DS9 crew? Or joins the show?
She was an ensign when she arrived at the station, however, when she was formally accepted as part of the crew, Sisko promoted her to Lt. Jr. Gr.

[oak crescent]

to be given that promotion, Sisko had to have been her commanding officer, which means she had to have joined DS9 prior to becoming LJG

[dense hawk]

either hire a actual fan of the series to handle lore based events or learn how to google lol

then again its scopely they care more about the money than the fandom

[oak crescent]

While I like the idea of the Outpost Defender SLB, the level brackets were not properly thought out. I am Ops 61 and competing with all of G6.

• This isn't a grind/mine SLB where I can potentially out-grind/mine a 70.
• This isn't a crit SLB where I can come up with a fancy crew or have more stockpiles of Borg Type directives than a 70.
• This isn't an upgrade SLB where I could have stockpiled a bunch of mats to burn to maybe beat a 70.
• It's not even an "upgrade this now!" event where, were I willing, I could spend my way into beating a 70.

I am limited to G5 epics and specialty ships. I can beat a 63 outpost, but I can't survive more than 5 waves; maybe 15 if I had a 3rd ship slot. I can't beat a 66 outpost at all. And each outpost takes 6 hours.

The level ranges really should have been something like, for G6, 61-62 (an argument could be made for 61-65, because no one really takes the uncommons high right away, if they're building them at all), 66-69, and then 70.

The top 3 in this level bracket are Ops 70. The two below them are Ops 68. There is no feasible way for me to compete with any of them.

[prisma gate]

Because not all mirror systems with trellium nodes have the magnetic hazard

[vernal raven]

Alliance Tournament over Christmas you can't be serious Scopely. Can't you even not let people alone during Christmas?

[boreal coyote]

I’m so sick of lag, issues, brokenness and the kir’shara failures beating me instead of the actual game. On a limited holding ( 400 / 4 starts ) this is ultra punishing. Unfortunately , this is the norm.

Wrong pic, went wrong when Kira froze on 2 ships

[gritty haven]

@vernal raven I mentioned this earlier - it was put off for year 7 anniversary events which is fine but why not start on the 27th so it doesn't bother Christmas or new year - some of us are mega busy on these holidays

[mortal tartan]

Hey scopely how hard is it to do 2 seconds of research before you get your own trivia answers wrong? Ezri Dax was an ensign when she joined DS9, but A gives the rewards...

[vale patrol]

Seriously. She isn't even promoted until the third episode of season 7. Big swing and a miss, kids.

[old jolt]

Too many pay tasks in alliance tournaments. Where is scopleys Christmas spirit, oh its in my wallet😢

[left marlin]

<@&509691205798592532> First want to wish all of you happy holidays and thx for all your hard work. So question, do you or anyone for that matter know if your Alliance Tournaments store would change contents if you went from Ops70 to 71 in the middle of Tournaments? Asking cuz I heard about the extra stuff that g7 players will see in their store. I’m Ops 70, just got ready for 71, and I’m wondering if it’s too late for me to get access to g7 stuff in the AT store. Thx and happy holidays 👍🖖

[terse harbor]

@full swan Any chance of sorting the Tournaments out so that the same 💩 P2W tasks don't constantly keep coming back. Not everyone has a bottomless pit of money to waste on pixels.

[meager moss]

How hard is it to sort task list? This was requested last tourney.

[terse harbor]

If they can't sell a £99 pack for it they don't give a toss.

[high aurora]

Why is this task so high for G7. It’s ridiculous <@&509690795536941056>

[terse harbor]

Pay to Win task.

[high aurora]

Not for G6. G6 is 4 chests max, this is 10.

[runic pumice]

Please fix the scoring for Aggregation Hunter, it's insane

[queen kindle]

What level are you, and what is the top milestone?

[errant tendon]

Ops 68 is 15.08k top milestone. Only 715 hostiles 🤦‍♀️

[fierce sierra]

Alliance Tournament over the holidays? With relegation?! I would say, this is a bad joke, but as I know $copely just doesn't give a 💩, this is just another step on the way to ruin this game. Have fun <@&509690795536941056>, hopefully your bosses can milk enough money out of the game before it dies.

[runic pumice]

9320, Ops 67....only 444 hostiles to finish. Thank goodness I didn't push to 68

It's only Christmas Eve....I want to grind another 450ish hostiles

[high aurora]

Yeah if your building is not 60, you stuck with 400+ hostiles. 200 if you have an outpost and 100 if you have an outpost and sisko. Event design is lost in the sauce. No bonus for Dauntless either? Scopeply can do better

[ashen notch]

I would love to know how a bad event scoring mechanic gets corrected, but when the event comes out months later the bad mechanic is back.

[high aurora]

Version control and lack of documentation

[sturdy crown]

Same way Retreiving keeps coming back as an event description so often.

[glass pewter]

500 hostiles for the aggregation event if I am running an Outpost with Sisko seated? What king of crack is Scopely smoking?

[ashen notch]

You nailed it. It would have to be the "king" of crack for them to think this was a good idea 🤣

[austere mortar]

i want to know what genius saw the 24th, 25th, and 26th on the calendar and thought “alliance tourney”….

[terse harbor]

Over 50k tadk refreshes and not a single F2P task rolled in. That is taking the pyss.

[strong anchor]

Aggregation Hunter event is ridiculous. I can kill

• 444 hostiles or
• “only” 275 hostiles @ 1 per hull
  🚫

[errant chasm]

I agree...the aggregation event is ridiculous for the rewards provided

[runic pumice]

Apparently they cannot

[leaden spoke]

1.162 enemies to kill to get to the final milestone? 😄 Ridiculous

[frosty stone]

What stupid person thought it was a good idea to do Alliance tournaments over Christmas ? Also the other stacked events ? I barely have time to do my dailys over the christmas period and you throw all this other poop at me ? Stupid

[brave wigeon]

Apparently Outposts are still broken.

Can only join with one ship

[sturdy rampart]

<@&509690795536941056> Nice Christmas present, my building is still not 61 so only 940 hostiles to kill. Thanks but no.

[sturdy crown]

....And still next to nothing for the lower ops players in AT. ALL tasks should give 'some' AT Creds. It shouldn't be just for the 'Haves' and Jack all for the 'Have Nots'. 🤬

[vale patrol]

Does anyone know if the NX-02 and Monaveen Mk II skin refits available in the Alliance Tournaments store affect Independent Archives pulls?

[queen kindle]

IAs provide everything in the refinery it replaces.

[ocean crypt]

nothing but scamming ,,, aggregation pts are stupid, most can only hit 59s at 21 pts and you want an approx 15k over 1 day when are you lot going to wake up and see sense to what is possible and what is absolutely insane, get a grip on scoring, no one is buying your cr.ap for money , so get real and make scoring where free can actually complete within a proper timescale and not outrageous scoring where only hundreds to thousands of pounds in cash can make this impossible score

[fierce steeple]

24,400 ÷ 42 = 580 hostiles on Christmas Eve / Christmas Day.

ARE YOU TAKING THE **********!

[spark radish]

It's quite amusing that this Regional Beader Loard has the same reward in Syndicate is an intermediate milestone in the BP.

[woven tulip]

Why are you hitting 42? This ops 67 milestone, your surely higher so 42 is pretty low for you (I hit 59’s)

[idle parcel]

I got on to say exactly that as well, coupled with horrible lag in a lower, bottlenecked system because not many have their building higher. I end up having to restart every 2 minutes, otherwise I'm faced with ghost ships that are already dead. I spent 30 minutes on this Aggro BS and only have 1 level done. I think I'm skipping this event. Very poor on Scopely's part to once again give a massive grind event, and to do it during the holiday when many are with family is even worse optics.

[fierce steeple]

42 points for hitting 59s. Cannot hit 61s yet as building too low

[vagrant topaz]

U can have my 39k milestone if u want

Not spending an hour on Christmas eve doing this. 20 min I'm at 13k. Done with it

[copper oak]

I seriously wonder what goes on in the minds of event planners/designers. Grind events of death on Christmas Eve. What a fail!

[vagrant topaz]

What can we copy and paste so do we don't have to do any actual work or thinking

[smoky rose]

My money's on "Maybe they'll forget, and we can get away with it this time"

[vernal raven]

The point is Scopely seems to have completely lost the possibility to learn something out of the past 7 years bs events

[gusty robin]

42 is the points per level 59 hostile.

[gritty haven]

They want you to spend 20 £€$ on re-rolls

[gritty haven]

They know it's relatively bug free - so skeleton staff while running - meanwhile in the real world i have 8 adults and 6 kids to cook for today so I'll be up at stoopid o'clock so my alliance doesn't suffer, my birthday day after Christmas and guess what I'll be doing? Monsters - can't even have a birthday free of this nonsense!

Their 7 year anniversary threw everything out of whack but could have started AT on 27th Dec so it didn't interfere with Christmas or New Year and left those of us with birthdays in between to not have another reason to hate Christmas 😡

[elder warren]

If you're going to start alliance tournaments on Christmas Day, can you at least fix the scoreboards.

[somber hinge]

Implement an outpost summary report. When i start via night and both ships are scrap in the morning, i dont know, when or how long they fought! battlelog is full of other reports

[errant jetty]

Is someone suggesting that folks forget what Christmas is just to get Top Spot in this Event?

Just wow

[copper helm]

there is no benefit to players at all whatsoever to having tournaments or any other event end at a different time than every other event running in the game. it is nothing but a hinderance and I find it difficult to believe it isn't being done maliciously against the player base to convince them to spend more money to catch up.

[tacit zephyr]

This is a pay-to-win game. And Scopely wants to turn it into a pay-to-play game.

[amber grove]

Why Temporal, Multiphasic and Chart tasks rotated every refresh, 10k epic borg and dominion points should be increased with how incredible difficult it is to get🤯

[woeful whale]

Only scopley would put the alliance tournament sms that requires 5 people 3 times to complete the event on Christmas when no one is around.

[thick owl]

Uncle Scopely gave us a lump of coal for Christmas with an Insipid Augment Exile event that makes it almost impossible to complete Strange New Holiday. GM CONMAN should do the honorable thing and resign in disgrace

[tacit zephyr]

It's probably the same Scopely employee who answered a certain YouTuber. He said that free-to-play players are ungrateful, and who do we think we are to ask Scopely for free stuff?🤮

[jaunty iron]

Scopely programmers "as its Christmas and everyone wants quality time with their families so want should we do??... i know, spam them with loads of events on top of the alliance tournaments".. 🙄

[oblique ore]

Can we stop with the daily favtion hunting and the AT wave defences?
With this faction hunting every day, we kill our faction reputation and its akso stupid boring meanwhile.
The Wave defence event would need almost a whole hour for 3 group waves. Who in hell have do much time additional to all the other content?

[pseudo bane]

I imagine the Saudi owned Public Investment Fund that owns Scopely doesn't care about what you think or feel on Christmas Day. They just want to extract more money from everyone before year's end.

[winter wasp]

Completed tasks for alliance tournament aren't registering.

[tacit zephyr]

Just wait, things are going to get even more complicated this year 2026, because Skydance is going to raise the price of Star Trek licenses significantly. In fact, Netflix is ​​abandoning the Star Trek universe because they couldn't reach an agreement. Other companies that sold Star Trek merchandise have also stopped doing so because they couldn't afford the new Star Trek license fees. So don't be surprised if this company is also affected, since the licenses aren't permanent. They have to be paid for periodically.

[pseudo bane]

@tacit zephyr Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I imagine Scopely will still be making money hand over fist every month.

[tacit zephyr]

I don't know what to tell you, because even Amazon has abandoned Star Trek; they've removed the franchise from Prime. It's only available as a paid or for rent.

[woven tulip]

Star Trek was never on prime it was on paramount

[winter wasp]

Completed 2 tasks in alliance tournament that haven't registered at all..... 😡 All tasked completed and registered on first day but not today

[stoic linden]

I'm seeing Picard on prime where I am... That's still star trek by name

[woven tulip]

It’s on both

[tacit zephyr]

It's the only one left in prime because.Star Trek: Lower Decks.It's no longer there.

[coarse ocean]

fix the lag in arena if you want us to play - dooh....

[wet galleon]

Arenas will never be fixed

[terse harbor]

When are you going to fix the AT leaderboard, so we can actually see it??????????

[radiant lark]

I can't claim the rewards

[lapis zephyr]

…you did not finish the task…

[shut copper]

Perhaps... there is no Leaderboard to see. Maybe they listened to all the gripes about an AT during Christmas and skipped the whole Promotion/Relegation thing this time.

[tacit zephyr]

They could be a mistake, because officially they haven't said anything, and given Scopely's lack of transparency and zero communication, I wouldn't trust them at all.🙈

[lapis zephyr]

Nah. I never see ours. And many in my alliance don’t so somebody that does see it just posts it for us on DC 😂

[small rover]

It seems to be a mobile client specific bug as I don't see it when I switch to PC client gameplay

[boreal coyote]

Rerolls stink. Same 3 paid tasks over and over. We need some kinda of mechanic to see what tasks are off the board before we decide to try,

[hazy hare]

Can’t make an arc mission (A crowded path part 2) because warp path is locked by main missions! 😫😫
I’m behind a wall of missions to reach it. I’m 58, but main missions are in op 46!

[hearty hedge]

No incursion for the second time in a row... wow, it's great how the disadvantages keep getting bigger

[turbid hamlet]

For 2.5 epic officer shards? See it's trash like this that's just insulting.

[coarse sentinel]

<@&509690795536941056> can you please pass this onto the devs?

Incursions are becoming irrelevant. Shielding practice is poor. Because of g7 you’ve got players with no way to dump regular rss so one big player getting raided will make or break an incursion.

Devs need to think about:

• rewards are not valuable to older servers. You haven’t changed them to incentivize people to actually participate.
• raiding still sucks. Very few have the patience to sit there and “drain a base” so you have all these “little” sub-100T stations that people will pass by because they are looking for the ones closer to +1Q stations. A simple change would be to give the amalgam the ability to scale up to higher amounts the lower the resources are on the station. Make raiding faster.
• why don’t you make mining a better return than raiding? Or at least equal? At least you’ll have shielded players at least willing to send miners out even if they will be blown up. It’s another PvP vector but more importantly gives other ways to score points that allows for a more passive gaming experience vs active raiding for hours.

But ringing in the new year with more of the same is not a good start.

[steady tiger]

That's Scopely mathematics. A New Year's Eve frame a year too early. Is this a last-ditch effort in anticipation that the game won't make it to December 31, 2026? And what exactly is meta about that?

And let's get some more materials over there so I can finish this. Three of the materials don't grow on trees thanks to your stinginess.

[oak crescent]

in what world is New Year's Day on December 31st and not January 1st?

January 1, 2026 is in 5 days, not 370

[boreal coyote]

I bought BP for the first time since Connor’s vid. I did it in protest! Please delete me from your success metrics! 😂

[steady tiger]

None of them, but if you did your research before writing, you would find out that my picture says "Silverster" And as everyone knows, that's on December 31st.

[shadow trellis]

Clearly you didn’t do you’re research as not everyone knows that as you indicated and as mine says new year 2026 not eve

[small rover]

Yeah, no. 27k to complete this is just not right

[copper oak]

Only G3 Materials Loot for High G4 Players?
And milestones all the way to Mexico? Just no, Scopely

[small rover]

And it's not even titled with Heroic in the name. Smh

[pallid lintel]

That 2* gas is really going to help at Ops46.....

And yeah the milestone is BS..... I have enough emblems to do it, but since I keep my buildings on par with my ops I can't even complete. Not that I would with those rewards.

[sly belfry]

Same issue as above posts. Ops 50 getting only G2 and G3 mats for war room event

[hollow lichen]

Galactic Rush: Subspace Skirmish I – IX – SMS Score points by alternating between defeating hostiles and spending G3+ materials.
NOPE, stop forcing spending of mats for random events like this with most likely minimal rewards.

[elfin nest]

Scopely got the War room event completely wrong...

[gritty haven]

Why is AT score not updating for task completed today?

[cinder ermine]

So I'm guessing that by "increased event variety" what was actually meant was "the same events every day for weeks in a row with a variety of different names."

[civic oak]

How are those in the 20s supposed to do this? 27,000 emblems for top reward??

[small rover]

Well, at least we know it's the same scoring for all Ops. lol.

[noble aspen]

Are there no interim events for players below ops 20?

[elfin nest]

I had quite a few saved and the rest obtained from ferengi tokens and tournament store helped complete the event but rewards were way off....why would an ops 50 need g2 and g3 mats Scopely?????

[rancid blaze]

Why would you show support for a bad event by doing it for rewards you don't need?
Don't like something... Don't do it.

[waxen stratus]

Officer Depot Supremacy SLB - Ex-Borg Faction Credit don't count? Why not! After all, you can find the Ex-Borg store in the ..... Faction Store.....

[violet kelp]

Dauntless still stop's in surge, lost half my starts today

[urban valley]

unless i hit my head while sleeping, i am sure i finished my alliance tournament tasks yesterday

[limpid condor]

Is there an alliance tournament bug?

No surprises there.

[maiden condor]

<@&509690795536941056> The tournament at the moment is seriously broken.

Some users have available tasks even though they completed all tasks for this last reset.
Others don't have tasks available.
The relegation section contains 18 extra alliances.
Member scores are not visible.

Due to this, I understand you will be canceling the tournament results because otherwise it would be an unfair advantage to those that have extra tasks available, and the result would not be valid?

[vital swallow]

I just posted my experience in #🏆-event-chat
Basically it's as if my tournament reset. My active task disappeared, I'm back to 0/3, a number of tasks re-rolled, 0 re-rolls for me, the members score reset

And of course the main scoreboard has been broken since day 2

6 members showing when I think 64 have participated

[austere bay]

These damage/crit damage slbs are weird. Today i got 10 quadrillion per borg solo while outpost running, now with same setup and outpost running i get 5 quadrillion

[vital swallow]

I'm not sure how I feel about the results being cancelled though, we worked hard to stay mid-table. If we don't get our rewards for it I will be very disappointed

[maiden condor]

<@&509690795536941056> Proof that some members have tasks available despite completing all earlier. Most do not have them, I don't have more tasks available.

This bug is creating complete unfairness in the ranking and the tournament results must therefore be anulled if Scopely even has an ounce of fairness and decency left. Doubt it does, but here's hoping.

[near saddle]

we are looking into it now

[gloomy hawk]

For the love of god don't make the results invalid or anything, i will be royally p*ssed off since we just started fresh as an alliance and i would really like to get in higher leagues since i have literally nothing worth to redeem in the store at the moment. How this got broken on the last day after working fine for days is again beyond all of my sanity

I do however imagine higher leagues are going to get all messed up in scoring since not everyone got their tasks reset

[sand sigil]

thats just another example of their poor translation to german - I've stopped playing with german language on client a long time ago since event texts in german were always wrong/misleading

[vital swallow]

It should average out across the alliances though 🤔

[high aurora]

The same thing happened to my Alliance overnight. We're now going to be relegated because of this score splitting. We're looking at a loss of over 200k points which is dropping us 4 spots currently

[sand sigil]

Did someone give the intern access to the code?

[maiden condor]

If they didn't, there would be no game, all the normal programmers left a long time ago 😄

[sand sigil]

The fact that we kept encountering the same errors with every Arcfall, which have since last arcfall been fixed, leads me to believe that certain freelancers are being employed who only program from sprint to sprint and are not familiar with repositories or similar concepts. I am familiar with exactly these types of errors from other companies that purchase inexpensive programming and then have errors fixed afterwards—it is cheaper than hiring expensive programmers who do their code and comments well thought out > cost/benefit factor.

[maiden condor]

Indeed. And also to save on costs, the players are the QA/testing team, there is no QA/testing team hired at all, no automated testing, hence why things that used to work correctly get broken all the time. Otherwise, with automatic testing, a suite of tests would detect that something that was previously working fine no longer works fine.

[halcyon goblet]

Why has the AT alliance leaderboard been shuffled?

Being moved from last rank before relagation to being last at a completly different bracket is 💩

[sand sigil]

well I guess the did test somehow something, but only with a few people with loads of RSS and big ships, like a new Dauntless with max tier e.g. - otherwise that bad balance of new hostile/systems grind for higher ops won't occur.
We're not talking about a few errors / impressions / balancing problems after 1 arcfall, we're talking about more than a handfull months of recurring that.

But it'll go fine, I can see it in the servers. 🥸
Not too long ago, they started a new one every month, and they were full with 2-4,000 people. Now they only start a new server every 4-6 months, which fills up with just 1,000 people and is then merged after 3 months. People are fed up and leaving in droves. Even on old servers, people who have played and invested excessively are disappearing.

We asked for less grind - yeah happy new year, here you have a new grind event Galactic Grind

[high aurora]

Check your member scores, it looks like somehow the split people in our alliances into a different bracket overnight

[sand sigil]

in my alliance all members are on 0/0 tasks, only if you take a new one (which should reset on 5pm) you'll show up on list, even if you are a low ops - so no brackets for me

[small rover]

Can confirm Tourneys are frakked up

Can't even view leaderboards

Or view members' scores

[vital swallow]

It wasn't even overnight. It was 2hrs ago

[halcyon goblet]

it is a completely new set of alliances to compete against, till 1 hour ago - a screenshot i shared with our allies in the morning vs how it looks like now

[naive viper]

Everything was fine earlier. Now we are in a different league, attempts have been reset and the leaderboards are a mess.

[small rover]

First Tourneys run during holidays, then it goes belly up in the last hours of the last day. lmao. The holidays part is where I think peeps need relegation/promotion cancelled, and the loss of progress intactness reinforces the need

[normal jay]

the alliance tournament task selection is the dumbest time waster ever. it is by far the biggest thing making me want to quit this game today.

[sand sigil]

Here's a bold suggestion that might not please everyone—instead of giving out a worthless box with a few emergency rations as compensation, why not promote everyone to the highest league and give out a certain amount X of Alliance Tournament credits for the shop? Those who can't stay in the highest league will regulate themselves again in 1-2 runs. That would be a real gift and approach to this mistake. My alliance for example now has a completely different list of alliances to compete against than before and different placing too. How do you now distinguish the “right” promoted alliances from the wrong ones otherwise?

[tribal kindle]

Was about to suggest exactly that: promote everyone in the tournament because of this error

[maiden condor]

<@&509690795536941056> We got reshuffled into a different bracket. Some players have 3 tasks available still (their tasks reset). Mine have not. This is TOTALLY UNFAIR and UNPROFESSIONAL now to do any kind of ranking on the basis of YOUR ENDLESS BUGS!!!

As my prefecessors said, your only honourable action now left is to promote everyone. Will be a nice Christmas/NY gift for those of us who spent time in the game despite this being a family-focused time.

[near saddle]

hey, again I get your side, especially during the holidays. We don’t have a resolution yet, but we’re tracking it closely and will keep you updated as soon as we have news. 🙏 🎄

[delicate wave]

It's still truly amazing that a multi-million dollar company can fail so miserably and so often on mature events. It's not as if this were the inaugural run of Alliance Tournaments.

[maiden condor]

Glad that at least you (not the decision maker) realize what a horrible idea it was to make this during the holidays in the first place. Half our members were unable to play for at least 2 days.

[ocean barn]

What amazes me is that people are still surprised things like this happen. As far as I can see its business as usual.

[austere bay]

How did you screw AT 2 hours before the end? I mean i take 3 extra tasks but people thinking they are done screws the placements like crazy

[spark radish]

I expected the tournament bugs to be in the first three hours, not the last three hours...

[ocean barn]

Ah see thats where you went wrong, scopely can strike at any moment. You have to remain ever vigilant. Ever prepared.

[hasty crater]

can we have a AT atleast one time without any issues ? our alliance member ranking is completly screwed up some are back to emerald chain 0 lol

[jolly oxide]

are you forgetting who runs this? they don't care about us, they only care about the $$$

[high aurora]

Thanks for trying your best!

[dark horizon]

is there a mission that has still not been released ? I am not finding it anywhere in my logs nor can it start it in holodeck

[icy mural]

Mature event? They released it broken, tried “fixing” it and broke it more. Ignored it for months. Then tried squeezing more money out of it and ruined it again. Now it’s another completely broken piece of content. And they will move on to screw people again.

[thick temple]

we've found ourselves this morning in a different league with tougher competition and 3 new tasks available for every alliance member. what's going on?

[sinful heart]

I love your version of the Southern “bless your heart”. 🤨.

[thick temple]

I sincerely hope that when you fix this that you return alliances to their original leagues and places. This is a real mess. 🙁

[round tangle]

We were in second place and now 4th place. WTH happened

[thick temple]

if you remember from before, you'll find you have completely different competition.

[round tangle]

Yes, all the alliances are new and all of our scores are gone

[thick temple]

"Resetgate"

[small rover]

Resetlegated

🤭

[dark horizon]

Looks like they screwed Ahead of the Curve as well, it disappeared for a while from the event lists and now its back on, but I don't think it counted some events I have done, never really not completed it and now it ends in 1 hour and I will fail completing.

[small rover]

Mine didn't reset but there's a new one for the next 4 weeks

[gusty patrol]

When we going to get more Nodes for vail.?

[gloomy robin]

Really, why did you swap everbody's AT bracket last minute.
Like my alliance was neck & neck vs another battling it out for 1st place & I feel like we've been robbed via being sent to another bracket where now we're 3rd

[bleak peak]

WTH? You add 3 more turns while most are asleep? I was comfortably in 1st place, and wake up and find out the 2nd place guy got to do 2/3 more turns overnight?

[errant chasm]

We were in 2nd place and dropped to 6th because of these shenanigans. And of course for the first time the AT awards were immediately delivered. It's getting to the point where you guys could screw up making a bowl of corn flakes.

[maiden condor]

And of course, as expected from Scopely. Nothing. Got relegated due to all this, no formal information, great gift for Christmas, Scopely. I'm sure gifts from players will be equally exciting, two people quit from our alliance in the last week by the way, including one high level player. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Congrats on killing your game.

[naive viper]

No. No we cant. Expert does not have access to Master league store (which we got demoted from).

[raw bramble]

This is a joke and quite frankly annoying. The incompetence of the team to not be able to fix the brackets to what they were for a now long standing event is beyond frustration. So alliances that placed middle of brackets and pushed to relegation are just screwed by this error and now face rewards below the tier they should have been placed in. This (we will introduce items previously to the next run) does not cut it. The compensation chest is going to be an absolute joke and spit on the face to everyone who participated. The only way to fix this would be to return alliances who relegated to their previous rank and keep promoted alliances this run in their new bracket. Although this wont be fair to the alliances pushed out of the promotion zone, this would be the closest fix you can possibly achieve.

[maiden condor]

<@&509690795536941056> When can we expect you to follow up on the announcement and make the masters part store available to those that were relegated to expert due to your bugs? Cause none of our players can use the masters section.

[lament robin]

Yep, was screwed once again. My alliance was in 2nd place and was supposed to be promoted. I checked it after the update and I'm in 6th place. Thanks a lot! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[round tangle]

You should promote/relegate the alliances to their appropriate rank. Just opening the store doesn’t cut it

[verbal mortar]

I am really disappointed with Scopely at the moment. Up until 3 hours before the tournament reset we were in 3rd place then suddenly dropped to 5th. The Master League store whilst great for a couple of bits for me offers far more advantages to the lower ops players in my alliance.

How are we supposed to trust the leader boards when things like this happen (lets be honest it's not the first time). I'm more upset for the lower ops players more then anything else. We just get lip service all the time, nothing concrete.

[wanton plaza]

<@&509690795536941056> The Alliance Tournament screw ups are 100% demoralizing, we were in a solid 3rd place expecting to be promoted and instead got 8th. As a commodore how am I supposed to drum up participation in this event if we keep getting the rug pulled on us?

[twin bluff]

This is the second time now that Scopely has scr—ed the pooch on Alliance Tournaments and we, the rank and file, end up paying the price for it… a comp chest is NOT the right thing to do”fix” this.

[verbal mortar]

Also what about the Emerald chain points that haven't been given out because alliances weren't promoted. My alliance only started in June 25 so we're still building up on this.

[gloomy robin]

My alliance was in the lead in our bracket just before the the fiasco. Being sent to a bracket where we were locked into 3rd place really demoralized my alliancemates, considering how much effort we put into our fight for 1st place.

We really need to be returned to our previous bracket & have rewards sent accordingly. This might have costed my alliance an Emerald Chain level
<@&509690795536941056>

[maiden condor]

Also <@&509690795536941056> How about 10000 Alliance Tournament credits for everyone WHEN you open up the Masters shop again? Cause your announcement came AFTER the tournament was closed, when many players already took whatever is available from their shops, not knowing Masters will be available again and it is STILL not available!!! What will you do with that? Due to your lack of communication. Will you refund them and take back the items they bought already? How is it that you do one messup after the other?

[peak geyser]

Just an FYI some of us are now maxed on Emerald Chain, I know small compared to the current issues. But just as a reminder it's time for expansion

[verbal mortar]

Not having a limit on the items you can get in the store after all this would be great too.

[small rover]

Forced research/upgrade SMS for scoring in a Meta SMS? Really?

[odd dock]

do

[humble glacier]

Alliances that are supposed to be promoted, aren’t. Alliances safe from demotion getting demoted. No comp chests are going to fix placements. Players have come together in their respective alliances to make things happen and you just wasted all of our collective.

Comp chests: not going to cut it.

How do you even break things straight out the door? Seriously.

[raw bramble]

Morale not found. Tourneys broke everything and entire playerbase is not very "happy"

[humble glacier]

The perfect picture to sum up AT tonight. 😂

[wild pelican]

These 'Build Power' events are an insult to my intelligence. Does Scopely think I'm speeding everything up just for a pathetic reward? Not doing it. No point hindering myself to the point I need their web store. Do better on making event goals realistic.

[proven juniper]

A build power event the day after a week long build power SLB event and it doesn’t even count officer or ship xp. 🤣

[wild pelican]

Need more proof of Scopely Greed? lol

[junior pond]

These events that take millions to score where you all have removed the officer XP option show up all the time now. When researches and budlings give out a few thousand power at best it's annoying to have to go scrape points together just to get the SMS done that used to be able to be done with the officer points.

[spark trail]

5 Shaxs shards for first place?

[odd dock]

this is obviously deliberate misdirection ... FIX Alliance Tournaments

[verbal mortar]

Seriously Scopely I think for this mess up with AT's you should really be pushing the boat out for comp

[lilac ocean]

All my ships for these upcoming "events" are maxed. Couldnt even do the Squall one.

[viscid thorn]

What up with the special wartime Moral pack? 1.7x the value...but you don't see what you can buy with the new currency? what a joke

[bold geyser]

<@&509690795536941056> My alliance lost the rank within the alliance tournament through the errors with the recalculation and so on. Now we arrived the end of the emerald chain and are not able to get the new stuff. Cause we got downgraded to expert league from a safe position within the master league. How would this be compensated?

[twin bluff]

What an absolute freaking joke. <@&509690795536941056> @near saddle

Y’all need to do WAY better to make up for these continual screw ups!

[steady hearth]

WTF, was in 2nd place and got bounced to third. None of the alliances in the final rankings were the same ones we competed with this past tournament. What a joke!

[worthy jay]

<@&509690795536941056> , any chance of getting the Ferengi store back up. All the fuzz during the holidays caused me to lose track on that one and have quite a bit of currency unused. Thanks🙏

[wild pelican]

Honestly doubt they'll do that one.

[hazy hare]

I lose all ferengi BP credits because never remember when close! 😡😡😡😡

[spark trail]

What would fix the Ferengi store is use the same credits every time instead of new currency for no reason.

[queen kindle]

They don't want you to hoard them, spend it on the same month.

[vital swallow]

it finishing before the end of the month is always annoying though

[warm kestrel]

it's wild that they closed the store before they even released all of the missions for the month. I managed to login with 8 mins left and quickly spend what little currency I had earned. Scopely went full Grinch Mode this year

[queen kindle]

Missions are for the arc bp, not the ferengi bp.

[hazy hare]

Yep, about this, I can’t do one of this missions because never do ops main missions 😱😱 I’m 59, but main mission are in 47 yet. And one of this mission is behind a locked route.

[queen kindle]

What's the locked route?

[round tangle]

When is the tournament store opening up for everyone?

[hazy hare]

Is locked by a op mission (main missions). I never do this missions.

[queen kindle]

Yeah, that's certainly by design, unfortunately. Why not do the main missions? you'll need to eventually.

[vestal gazelle]

O sweet.. a 💩 pack for half off. And its on the dashboard in the way as well!. Quick go buy it everyone..

Need ti stop pushing the packs. Bad enough there were events that literally said buy packs to complete. Now a 💩 pack for half price.

[tacit zephyr]

Typical Scopely marketing: first, they inflated the package price by 80%, then they offered a package for half price, giving only 25% of what the original package is worth. Basically, you buy half, get a quarter, and pay for a full package.🙈

[vestal gazelle]

i forgot to mentio its a popup every time you start the game... getting worse than the FREE game wit the adds every 4 seconds.

[icy mural]

Because the experience is garbage. You try and do missions. And it pops up at the wrong times. Sometimes completely random. Then you click through as fast as possible so your enemies don’t blow you up. Then it glitches. Time for a reboot. Did I mention all the glitches. And worst of all. You try and star track the mission you wanna follow. And once part 1 is done. In vanishes back into the hoard of a mess to try and track it again by adding to favorites. If anyone from scopley would actually play their game. They’d realize it’s a horrible experience

[small rover]

🤣 First it was Station Upgrades, then it was Research, now it's Ships.

[hazy hare]

Because from op 40 (3 years ago) Scopely was incrementally add others stuffs to do!!
All other 4* and 5* missions are in their systems , waiting for reclaim.

[small rover]

Over 43k units in mats needed. More doable for campers but still cray cray

[deft wren]

Did the exchange on these finish early? I could have sworn it was the same as the exchange tokens timer

[queen kindle]

Ferengi store has returned. I'd clear localization and reboot if you don't see it.

@hazy hare

[round tangle]

<@&509690795536941056> when is the master’s store going to open for everyone? My alliance was supposed to be promoted to master league until scopely broke the ladders.

Would really appreciate an ETA on the store opening.

[proven juniper]

I think everyone misread that post. They specifically called out the “Holiday exchanges” will be open to one tier lower which, based on the earlier post about them, is like 2 things, both only for 71+

Personally I don’t think it’s the right thing to do but there also isn’t any point in waiting for something they didn’t actually announce they would do.

[round tangle]

There saying in the post master league options will be available to both master and expert league members

[proven juniper]

Only for the holiday exchanges.
There was one holiday exchange that was master league only (Aphelion BPs) it should now be for expert league as well, though it’s still only level 71+ so it’s not like it helps most players.

[round tangle]

That’s BS if it only covers that. They need their heads checked

[proven juniper]

I agree with you on that, it’s a basically worthless “compensation”

[twin bluff]

If we really want Scopely to listen up and actually fix things, people need to stop spending money on their overpriced and undervalued packs in the stores. Hit em in the wallet and watch how fast change comes around!

[frosty ginkgo]

Does anyone know if there is a CT spend event coming up anytime soon?

[runic meadow]

Because missions are boring, button pressing nonsense.

[peak bloom]

They posted the Interim event schedule in #⭐-official-announcements

<@&509690795536941056> @queen kindle Is this a bug or just a poor decision? Why are Franklin, Franklin-A, Disco and Amalgam parts listed, but not Reliant parts? 🤔

[queen kindle]

What reason do you have that they should be there?

[vivid delta]

We only have the Cerritos, so you should be happy to have the variety 😁

[warm kestrel]

I guess those of us who rushed and spent our currency on "any things" just to avoid getting "no things" b/c of the expiring clock are just supposed to sit back and wish we would have risked it all so that we might have had some time to research... do y'all understand that your collective lack of consistency around this stuff harms your player base? Turning the store back on for a day is a half-baked remedy

[peak bloom]

Because it looks like every other specialty ship I haven't maxed yet below and above the Reliant's Shipyard level requirement between 20 and 50 are there, but Reliant is missing. 🤔

[queen kindle]

What level are you?

[peak bloom]

Is it possible that you only have Cerritos because you've maxed the rest near your level?

[peak bloom]

Ops 33 and Shipyard 32

[vivid delta]

Nope, I just think it’s intended to be this way. I’m ops 41

[junior pond]

All of these upgrade events for several arcs have been terrible. A Relativity event for 4* players when the ship quickly needs 5* materials that they don't have access to - zero points. Heroic Gorn events where the ship is Ops locked and you can't even put enough parts on it even if you wanted to - no way to do the full SMS. Now a Cerritos only event with a ship that many have maxed long ago - zero points. The rewards are garbage, so little loss, but the trend has not been useful events for any player who works to keep up with ships.

[queen kindle]

Unfortunately, intended for this run.

[prisma gate]

to be fair making the g5 upgrades while at a g4 ops level would be really overpowered. youd be ops 42 and have a multi hundred million or billion power ship...

[tacit zephyr]

That's because this game is very poorly designed. It's not normal that they only start giving you decent amounts of material once you reach a higher level, especially an epic level. They don't start giving you valid G4 material until you reach G5. Therefore, upgrading a G5 ship when you're a G4 player is very difficult, just like G5 and G6. It doesn't make sense.

[icy mural]

It’s because they put dollars above players. And they lost 40,000 players this year. And now they’re squeezing harder. And they will lose more players.

It’s why they just redid all the field training. They’re trying to target new players who don’t know the scam.

[ivory cape]

Are we going to see an emerald chain expansion any time soon?

[keen torrent]

the economy in the game has always been give you what you need when you no longer need it. and good luck getting g5 epic gas as a g6 player.

[kind stirrup]

we need a permanently available source for solo outpost and elite outpost directives or this new feature is gonna be the next swarm sunday, true story

I recommend the S31 or bajoran faction stores

and the required quantities for batch pulls in outpost refinery seem a little high, truth be told

just the scuttlebutt in my gc/ac right now

[civic pasture]

they are not going to put new content into old loops. the sourcing for outpost looks to be AT and the Elites will be in the new outpost BP. in other words very slow sourcing for an already slow loop with an exceedingly slow refinery. they want it to take literal years to get stuff so that people who really want it will spend.

[icy mural]

Spend or drive away players who won’t. The end.

[kind stirrup]

oof, well, can't say that surprises me but still really disappointing

[civic pasture]

exactly.

[kind stirrup]

well, ethically consistent I guess

but now I especially refuse to spend a dime on outpost directives, challenge accepted.

[rich glade]

anyone else collect this every 10 mins or every time any event has any progress for the past week or so?. SUPER FRUSTRATING clearing local or restarting dosnt do crap. both PC and tablet.

HELP.

[peak bloom]

This is so lame. Ya really gonna make me click a button 87 times and THEN kick me out of the menu every time so I have to do another 87 clicks to get back in?

WHY would you not put a slider for literally anything you can collect and then spend a lot of? You HAVE the technology. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[agile latch]

Is that some payed route?

[icy mural]

The technology isn’t the problem. The problem is competence. Have you seen how bad this game has got? As Duce said, this games done for in a year

[peak bloom]

If you mean how did I get so many Schematics, yes, I got the $20 Battle Pass this month.

[peak bloom]

Yes, I'm literally saying that technology isn't the problem because they have it and have used it on other exchanges in the game.

Where has Rev Deuce said that? I've always seen him push back against his viewers who say that, and insist that he doesn't think it'll be that quick.

[wild pelican]

Yet another massive spend event for Ops 30+. I'm done trying to score on events anymore. Scopely greed is too much. Doing basic dailies only and logging off from now on. I have ZERO desire to really play when all we get are these absurd spend X events. Either make the goals realistic or players will lose interest.

[left marlin]

80 Premium Mirror Duat for 1st?! Just 10 for 26-50? You telling us that nobody in Live Ops took a look this and thought, “Hmmm…, rewards look a tad low.” It’s small details like this that also drive players to spend less, not more 🤦‍♂️

[high aurora]

We seem to be missing an event <@&509690795536941056>

[high aurora]

So I guess 51+ are not getting that Defeat Klingon SMS today? We'd rather not twiddle our thumbs and hold off on dailies if it's not going to happen.

[icy mural]

He had a video a few weeks back. He said if the game keeps going the direction it is. It’s not going to be around in a year or two. He said it in context of them losing 40,000 players

[glad epoch]

This for a level 23? What are ye smoking?

[valid knoll]

They expect you to have high level alliance mates who can carry you

[glad epoch]

Can't even reach swarm armadas and I sure as heck ain't going to dump cash into epic or rare directives just for these paultry rewards

[valid knoll]

You don't need to start them, just be in them when they end so others start them

[glad epoch]

Then that makes it somewhat better, but a lot of work from multiple people just for meh rewards

[peak bloom]

This happened to 2 of the scheduled events for Ops 20-50 this month. They're so bad at doing what they say they'll do.

[peak bloom]

A year or two, okay then. He's changed his opinion, then. Fair enough.

[vital swallow]

Who spent all their directives in the AT. We've literally been checking behind the couch for enough r/e directives for us below swarm

[prisma gate]

dont forget cosmic recruit right before a spend materials on upgrading ship components event.

[vital swallow]

and the increase power just before dominion, thank goodness dominion takes officers

[junior vale]

Someone needs to look at WarRoom claims and fix it. I only got one out of 4 confirmations on claiming from there. It's bugged. I have no clue if I got the other 3 or not as I'm not Policing Scopely's goofiness. Fix it Scopely!

[round tangle]

Nice, 24hrs later and those alliances who should have been promoted got squat. This happened to us last run when you reduced the promotion to top two.

Would be really nice if you stopped messing with tournaments on a whim.

[dreamy solstice]

again with the outpost scam, a lot of pilots cannot start and hold lv 56 outpposts, but you insist on the event start from 56s, why bother having 53s and 50s if they are not going to be included in the event, just another rip-off scam, why should people bother playing this cra. if this is how you intend to keep on ripping us off

[calm salmon]

Did someone oversleep?

[high aurora]

They also missed launching this for 51+

[scenic flint]

Has someone been enjoying the holiday libations a bit too much over in the live ops department? Lol

[covert wadi]

Another set of special events that have terrible payouts so no rush in doing it.

[karmic dew]

Wow Scopely - maybe you ought to rename the Galactic Rush event to Galactic Trash. Nearly every other skirmish event requires spending ridiculous amounts of mats for pitiful rewards. This is one of the reasons as to why people are playing less and leaving....

[sullen badger]

<@&509690795536941056> G3+ common materials are not counting for Galactic Rush event! The event details don’t say which materials only count. DO BETTER.

[odd dock]

new (old) chain event galactic crust is the icing on the cake. the amount of mats you need to spend are extortionate ....

and rewards are what i flushed earlier.

mark these chain events as: HEROIC as that is what these are. ty

[boreal sable]

No hostiles are scoring for the second skirmish event, anyone have a beat on any that do score?

[ashen notch]

<@&509690795536941056> How is it that more outpost systems were added in almost no time, but we cant get more rare xindi mada systems despite asking for it for almost an entire year?

[near valve]

Y'all can take your new Galactic Rush event and throw it in the trash. No way am I spending ~150M in mats just to complete that.

[gloomy current]

Killing hostiles but not scoring.

Also, seriously - quit it with the spend materials events, we're sick of them - and to gate the entire event behind them? Just no.

[wild pelican]

All this is why I hardly login anymore. Just dailies then log back off. Scopely needs to get the hint instead of worrying about more money. Fix the game, improve the experience for players, then worry about earnings.

[gloomy current]

You want to make a tiered series of events for G5?

1. Go kill 5 hostiles in the MU
2. Go kill 5 hostiles in Continuum space
3. Go kill 5 hostiles in Xindi Space
4. Go kill 5 FKR hostiles
5. Go kill 5 waves of group wave defense (yeah, actually have us work as a team in a multiplayer game for once)
   etc...

Just quit with the spend events, there are far too many already - we're so damn sick of them.

[half flare]

2M material spend points for half an officer shard? Doesn’t seem worth unlocking the rest.

[stone pelican]

Subspace Skirmish 2 isn’t scoring

[versed grotto]

<@&509690795536941056> galactic rush is broken. Cannot finish part 2 as hostile kills not counting

[near saddle]

yes yes yes we are aware and looking into it now

[near valve]

Finishing up 2025 as we started, with broken events and dumb spend events.

[wild pelican]

How about broken promises of a better gaming experience too?

[lean bear]

Absolutely 0 engagement for sub 20 players. Is it oversight or a forewarning to noobs not to play, they’re certainly not engaging new people.

[near valve]

Add it to the list

[wild pelican]

It's going to be a loooong slog if you're going f2p.

[errant chasm]

How do you mess up a hostile counting event?

[dark jewel]

Skirmish isn't working. I got skirmish one done but skirmish too isn't scoring it scores for the other events that are going on but not for skirmish too. Do I have to buy a pack in order to get it to work?

[dark jewel]

Remember there's a hostile limit per day and they won't count that they won't show you how many you've killed in 24 hours. So why should this be any different?. You have to imagine the biggest jerk in the world and that is who I imagine is leading this game. Then nothing upsets you. Do something like have an event that says kill any hostile and then don't score for it? That's something a jerk would do. No surprise.

[steady tiger]

When are you finally going to hand over the materials we're supposed to submit every day? It's absolutely infuriating. You were stingy at Christmas and now it's happening again. You're acting like you're starving.

[lean bear]

I thought I’d try it again, but really, no reason to log in other than hit the build button every few hours. I know there is content on the other side, but man, if I were brand new I’d dump this within 15 minutes.

[versed grotto]

Seems armadas and xindi are counting for some 71+ people...

[wild pelican]

IIRC the first bit of events opened for me in the mid-20s. But you're not nowhere near effective in doing much in them.

[final valve]

I find this event to be ......... Offensive 🍑✋

[boreal coyote]

Really scopes, great way to alienate players, this event is garbage

[short ermine]

Galactic rush blows. Wi not be taking part.
Happy new year all 🖖

[sand geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/catch-it-drop-pass-dropped-ball-drops-it-fumble-gif-8914449944065824113

[jagged current]

One final flip off from scopley, a paywalled event with a drastically low payout vs every other event. Hard pass.

[woven kettle]

Power to those engaging in the chain events, but they look like an easy pass for me

Fuzzy math as ops 68, about 120m spend for currency worth 20 or so epic shards? That’s super silly when compared to normal weekend spend sms that also have an SLB

Additionally, only TEN alliances across an entire XALB get the boosted rewards? Whatever y’all drinking for new years celebration, please share with the rest of us 😂

This could have been interesting but you KNOW material spend is a premium kind of event. So gating the entire series behind ridiculous spend that has so little value, not a good move.

Thank for giving me time back in my life 💪

[final valve]

Rush are far better than Galactic Rush. Neil Pearts ghost can do a better loop than these guys.

[gloomy current]

At 60, I'd need to spend 65M materials to complete this event, for 22(?) epic officer shards - I'll save my mats, and my time, thanks but no thanks.

#StopTheSpendEvents

[final valve]

Is that screen taken directly from Scopelys offices ?

[modest atlas]

The Galactic Rush store rewards are not worth the mat spend. Finishing top 10 across a region is a stretch for those who would benefit from the awards. The top spending alliances have probably maxed out Mirror research, so don’t need premium dust etc. and the rewards for finishing outside top 10 are low value / high cost. If the players can see this within minutes of an event launch, how does live ops not understand this?

[somber edge]

The frontier event store tokens aren't working

[gloomy current]

There is such a disconnect between Live Ops, the player base, and the message Conner is sending, it makes me question whether they are trying to sabatague the game.

[near valve]

Let's see, I can spend a ton of mats and hope my alliance gets in the top 10 of the XSLB to get 125 Premium Mirror Dust... or I can just claim 100 Premium Mirror Dust in my Outpost Refinery every day like I already do. Even if your event was working (which it isn't), the rewards are garbage.

[floral folio]

This theme of XALB with no payout below 50 and really only prizes for top 10 really closes my wallet and this app. I was pretty excited until I saw the rewards structure…

[boreal coyote]

You want me to get 67.58 million points. This is what 104+ days of 5 star research is. One tier on a T6 level 56 ship is 3million for me. Yall have lost your marbles again.

[mossy frigate]

Aren't those events supposed to be about Lower deck officers?

Which ones am I supposed to upgrade?

[gloomy current]

You basically have to max a G5 epic to complete the event 😂 - and there is going to be several of these?

[queen hearth]

The galactic skirmish event is trash. Kudos on another amazing choice.

[barren arrow]

Congrats Scopely in the least fun series of events ever for NYE..... Galactic Trash more like..... as a g5 player I would have to spend 740k UC mats to complete all events.... ridiculous <@&509690795536941056>
Please cancel this and bring something fun back

[hard sentinel]

Yup, hard pass on the new Rush events. First red flag was the event saying hostiles scored but they didn't and armadas scored instead. Then checked the future events and noped my way out of that tab. It's just a weekly mat spend and armada event rolled into one with weak rewards and the caveat of needing your alliance to place top ten in a regional alb. Pure cash grab and a solid no from me.

[opaque hawk]

Let me guess, galactic rush, if you over spend without collecting a step it doesn't count towards the next step.....

[blissful sonnet]

can I trade in my galactic rush for a CotA?

[boreal coyote]

I did it! 836 days of research. I’m done now. By this math only 1,385 years of research to finish!

[eager birch]

Where are the BPs in the event store!!!!!!

[thick locust]

Galactic Rush has totally missed the mark for me by being mat oriented.

its quite a downer to end the year on this

[halcyon fiber]

STFC has to get an award for the worst holiday events in all of gaming history

[thick locust]

any event where you need to spend many multiple times the rewards you get from the event to complete the event is just ridiculous

[eager birch]

What is Scopley's misguided financially-motivated fallback for Material Spend events? STOP IT ALREADY!!!!! Christmas... spend money. New Years..... spend money. Valentine's Day... Go $%^% yourself and SPEND MONEY!!!!!

[wet grove]

Galactic Rush really wraps up the „Year of Hell“ with poetic consistency:
One last frantic scramble to milk auctions and push monetization metrics right up to the final tick of the year. And no, sprinkling a few hostile-killing events between the spend-fests does not make it better.

The disconnect could not be clearer. Scopely operates on the assumption that players exist primarily as wallets that occasionally press buttons.
The underlying message is obvious:
Paying is the default expectation, paying more is virtue, and anything we get for free is treated as a benevolent act of corporate generosity we should kneel and worship them for.

It feels less like a celebration and more like a final quarterly KPI extraction ritual wrapped in the skin of an event.

[obsidian ore]

last year's New Year's event store offered a fleet commander seat, multiple rare ship refits, multiple ship projectiles, multiple prime research resources and more; this year (over 6 months ago now) we saw the release of fleet presets, with the one free-to-play event series to award them cancelled, and not only do we have none of the old stuff on offer, we also don't have the new thing that was cancelled; additionally, it has been 6 months since scopely released a single PvE officer

a lot of us were holding on assuming that the loss of trimesterly stores with interesting items meant that the holiday store would make up for it, now PvE players have caught up on all possible rewards and there's nothing left, I guess it's just game over at this point

[versed grotto]

<@&509690795536941056> since this "year of hell" is over both figuratively ans literally, How an we expect next year to be different rather than more of the same, bugs and spend events?

[late orchid]

So galactic rush is just another massive spend event? Yup hard pass

[woven kettle]

You had another very nice wrap up on some other scopely screw up a few weeks ago. Kudos on succinctly and accurately describing the situation. Hope the CMs pay attention…

[arctic horizon]

<@&509690795536941056>
I see Subspace Skirmish II lack of scoring is listed in known issues but Subspace Skirmish I is also not scoring. Ticket submitted

[wet grove]

Thanks! I’m doing this in the quiet hope that at least some of it eventually reaches the people who can actually influence direction.

Players keep proving that engagement happens when gameplay is prioritized, not our wallets.
2026 is ahead, and if Scopely is serious about „we hear you“, then the first meaningful signal would be designing events that respect time, effort, and fun instead of monetization above everything else.

If „we hear you” was just more corporate appeasement, then I guess we already know what trajectory we‘re on

[earnest thunder]

you need to be in top 10 to use the credits ? or is this a new translation fail or is your AI not working because somtimes I have the feeling no human make the Events

[steady tiger]

Looking at the numbers for the new containers, the phrase "we hear you," even if no one says anything, is completely irrelevant to me. The statement "the fun should return" is just as much nonsense. Scraping together materials every day is not only pointlessly time-consuming, but also a complete waste of time. When I see how much work it is to gather the stuff for the outpost refinery, and then what the exchange costs me, I wonder if it's even worth it anymore. That's not what fun looks like to me. And nobody's listening here.

[wise rapids]

Yet another disappointing event. Rewards are inferior to a normal spend event, where what is spent at one level carries over to the next, options are just about no existent and even the rewards limited to the top 10 are terrible for the cost. Your greed is pushing us to quit. Heck if you actually gave generous event rewards a lot of us would be willing to spend to get them...but this event's rewards are so terrible that the members of my alliance that buy every event or boycotting the whole event.

[dapper kraken]

I won’t rehash what so many others have said here, but I want to add my voice to the group of folks who are disappointed by this new event. I was hopeful when one of my alliance members said there was some decent stuff in the store - only to find out that was for the G7 folks, and us G6 folks got officer shards, and very few of those.

I don’t know if you changed project managers this year or something, but it seems to me to be very clear that they have only a single idea about how to craft events. Spend massive amounts of mats and get pittance for rewards.

If this is a directive that’s coming from the higher ups, shame on them. Let the people who are actually creative and know something about Star Trek come up with ways to make the game fun.

Make something that folks are actually invested in playing and worth it to spend some money occasionally (especially in this economy!), you’ll find a more sustainable business model and not be having as much attrition of the player base.

[icy mural]

They lost 40,000 players this year. At this point they completely don’t care and willing to lose their game.

[civic pasture]

wow didnt think we could have event worse then the Flashpoint events but New Year means New Lows. Your asking for players to spend a huge amount of mats and do hostile kill for a CHANCE at getting top 10 on a XLAB to unlock a mediocre event store THAT doesnt event show what that costs are. this is the worst event i have ever seen come out of the STFC team.

[granite mantle]

Skirmish IX event not scoring! I spent materials for nothing! Way to conclude the year scopely! 👏👏 Disappointing even with the low bar you set in 2025

[icy mural]

It’s getting worse. We’re getting close to the end of stfc!

[granite mantle]

Update: it was lag related... Scoring eventually registered. Still, with all the complaints about lag, it's strange to have this issue tonight, with most people focused on new year celebrations 🤣🤣🤣
Speaks volumes on where scopely needs to focus in 2026.
Fridays are hardly unplayable for me for the past few months, just as Mondays have been before... Pvp arena is highly bugged and causes massive lags.
Fix the lags, scopely, please!

[sweet valve]

Here is to hoping this new horrible event marks the end of the STFC year of hell. Holding out hope 2026 gets better.

[icy mural]

Stfc is hell now.

[south maple]

Crashed game skin unlocked

[eager birch]

<@&509690795536941056>....This New Year's event is the biggest joke!!! Happy New Year. Spend, Spend, Spend!!! You take away the blueprints from the store.. add in a bunch of useless crap... which requires you to spend loads of much-needed resources, many of which they've weaved expertly into everything so you have to spend more time balancing your resources and countless ever-expanding lists of currencies then you do your real-life checkbook... all for some mediocre "rewards"... Of course Scopley has a shiny new SALE button with included timer ticking away the minutes for you to spend actual money. I understand, its those spending money that allows them to keep this game somewhat free..... but COME ON SCOPLEY!!!! Get a hint. We want a bug-free game that is actually fun to play... not the same boring grind with a different wrapper. Some of us would be willing to pay a little here and there if the rewards were worth it... but its getting harder and harder to justify. Why not give tokens for the New Year's Pass instead of the abomination that is the very-limited, short-sighted Galactic Trash Bin. Add back a pass exchange for ship BPs, and get rid of the daily spend events.... NO ONE LIKES THEM!!!

[fluid gust]

25 spend events over 5 days, separated by grind/armada/wave events, starting on new year's eve?
what madman came up with that idea?

[rigid crown]

2025 started with the promise of Year of Hell, and aptly ended the same way with one of the worst events ever (Galactic wallet rush) - well done of being consistent in pushing out garbage 🤮

[noble aspen]

Meanwhile, at ops 14…

[grand fulcrum]

galactic event is broken <@&509690795536941056> it says XALB (2 servers) but actually is a RALB (20+ servers)

[runic meadow]

Perfect end to the Glorious Year of Hell.

[ashen notch]

Galactic Rush is just proof that the most recent apology about how the game has been going was nothing but lip service. If Scopely was actually sorry for the state of the game, events wouldn't continue to have such comically awful scoring requirements and awful milestone rewards.

[winter grotto]

Why isn't this event labeled heroic to more clearly indicate it's a spending event? Also, how much are the "unlockable" prizes, would really help inform my decision about spending my mats or not.

[unkempt pollen]

Just to add: This event might be ok, but the benefits are very poor. Some officer tokens for your troubles, nothing worth the squeeze, and maybe, but only if your alliance is in the top 10 of the region (so for the US that's what, top 10 out of 50+ servers, so the #1 alliance on your server is unlikely to be in the top 10 (<20% chance). Wait, what? The bonus only applies to the top 10 alliances? How did this get past approval. Maybe if it was top 10 for your server that would be motivating (though the rewards are unspecified but seem unlikely to amaze). Worse, spend, but if you over spend, it doesnt count to the next level... This whole event needs a rework - the spend is too high for the reward, the spend is uncertain for the reward, and an XASLB guarantees no motivation. Please revise for next new years eve (and please dont let it darken our doorway before then).

[amber grove]

This Galactic Rush is very disappointing, i don't expect it's another spending event with absurd numbers. Truly New Year, Old Scopely😞

[unkempt pollen]

Oh, and when you review the participation, stop patting yourself on the back because you managed to get some of us to the 2nd or 3rd spend event before we quit. I personally was hoping it would be more interesting than it was. I feel duped into the spend I spent.

[floral folio]

Same. Wish I read the rewards before I started the event. I thought it was an SMS not a do-everything-get-nothing

[lean bear]

Hey, you know what would be fun…

[icy mural]

It would be more fun if they fixed the broken leaderboard, that’s been broken for 4 years.

[rocky sleet]

Like many others have mentioned, in your quest to achieve whatever target revenue, you completely lost the point of making a game. It's not fun. It's not fun for F2P, it's not fun for light spenders, and it's not fun for heavy spenders. The rewards for this event are paltry, the engagement is boring, and there's no intellectual challenge. This is a "how much Christmas cash can we siphon?" event at best. In years past December was a month of the game making up for the technical and paywalled shortcomings of the previous year. This year December is an absolute thumb in the eye of every player, regardless of their financial commitment. You should be ashamed of yourselves, and be very concerned about the future of your product.

[small egret]

I’m not usually a fan of heroic events, but this new 9 part event is even more extreme. I think to include players of all types you should have two separate SMS events – one that is more reasonable that everyone can complete and then a heroic one for elite players can complete. I’d bet you’ll have higher participation.

[wild pelican]

My New Year's Resolution is to play LESS STFC until a positive change is seen. These last few months have been horrid. Abysmal. Demeaning to player intelligence.

[cerulean holly]

Galactic Rush events and rewards are not proportional, why should I invest all that effort for 2 epic shards? massive waste of time, both the players and the developers. Don't misunderstand: this event chain does not have rewards - a paltry sum of epic officer shards might as well be 0. What a joke. Staged events are just not a good idea and belong in the bin.

[hard bronze]

With Galaxy Flush you have won the price for the first place in bad-event-limbo. This compares to the the whole year 2025.

[toxic veldt]

Dear <@&509690795536941056> There design of the Galactic Rush event is absolute scam. If the players are only able to reach the 2nd milestone then you have 3000 Galaxy Rush Store Token. There is nothing in the store to buy for 3000 Token! Not a single shard of officer. Whoever designed this event causing outrage amongst players. Please discard this event and revert back on a single event with multiple milestones and please make the milestones feasible to at least earn something. Right now it is pointless as you earn NOTHING from this event!
There is a possibility to salvage this event and it would be to convert the Galaxy Rush Store Token to Officer Depot Token.

[austere bay]

120 mil spend sms every day if you complete all 10 steps is insane.....

[civic warren]

I can not agree more with you, scopely pushing 💩 is what they have been doing for the past year... for 2 months now i actually just don't try to finish anything anymore. feeling freedom of this "second job" this game becomes.
The game became so bad and boring. Still to claim all available pulls/drops/chests it takes 20 minuts of going throu several menu's. Its 100% 💩 waiste of time and so much should have been 'fixed/automated' as QoL updates but scopely will (when ever they do it) 100% make some pay2play solution for it just to get more out of the cashcow that is startrek...
STFC makes me dispice star trek more than it gives me love to the IP. When that is the case you know the company behind it has failed big time...

(Edit: i used more direct languages (not even insulting or anything) but that version of the chat was blocked by the discord server... Even STFC discord is a joke)

[rose zephyr]

Galactic Rush. Unless we finish top10 there is nothing I am motivated for and the stuff unlocked by top10 isn’t worth the effort required to get them. I’ve gone to milestone 4 by spending on things I needed to do for other purposes and my daily hostiles.

If this is the way rewards are going to be structured in 2026 then it’s not going to address the concerns of the majority of players.

Please could you code something completely new. We don’t want any more cut and paste armadas or solo wave defence.

[novel totem]

<@&509690795536941056> Hello, another round of feedback. I like the nature of galactic rush, pairing competitive alliance events with premium rewards. If it only was true. As it stands now I have the following to say:

• The event series is a 5 day spend bananza. I can only assume that the other days will as well be pairing the same spend events with the other freebie kill events. The spend events are designed to be a blocker
• I love difficult and rewarding events. These events are just "difficult" but not rewarding.

Math:
As an ops71 if I dump 192M pts into the spend events of day 1 I get 132.000 event store points. This only yields ~22 or epic officer shards.

Sourcing and cost of the Top10 premium items are unknown. You only list their remaining limits. However it is unknown whether that token from XALB is good for 1 pull or if it just unlocks the store and items are then purchased with the normal currency at an unknown cost. (Too bad if you had spent your currency before the unlock then...)

XALB events like these should be participation focussed. Getting your alliance mates in the game complete f2p group tasks etc. Sure you could run a one day spend bananza in the series but - 5 days back to back? The rewards seem mediocre. There could be Dauntless parts, Serene Squall parts, some speciality building parts (the newer ones) etc. to make this more appealing.

The way how it is designed is just spend stuff and don't get much in return. For 5 days in a row. LoL.

[eager birch]

<@&509690795536941056>....This New Year's event is the biggest joke!!! Happy New Year. Spend, Spend, Spend!!!

NO ONE LIKES THEM!!!

[stone glade]

What is the point of the Galactic Rush event?
Haven't enough players been alienated already?
Aren't enough mid/high ops players quitting the game already?

[mental relic]

Spend materials again for galactic rush...Who had any materials left after yesterday 🤣

"They really hate these spend events."

" Oh I know lets cram a whole week's worth of spend events into 24 hours and run it many days in a row!"

"And let's make the rewards terrible!"

[ocean crypt]

where's the quality of life events with all these multiple different grinds in 1 night, people want a life ,not a full time grind occupation

[harsh nexus]

Stop with the spend events. They are obnoxious as a daily feature.

Skirmish sounded like it would have potential but you add all the spend events again. I imagine the Krenim will hit its own wall today.

So disappointing. Players want to play and complete events but these impossible milestones are obnoxious.

And today starts with spending mats. No. I’m not doing it.

[austere bay]

We had like 2 or 3 spend events per month now we have one every day almost. Obnoxious and impossible unless you spend thousands to complete

[verbal mortar]

Galactic rush - not doing it. Total waste of time for everyone.

[sand geyser]

In case no one told you today, Galactic rush is a bad event structure that’s poorly designed and frustrates the player. Having mats spending broken up behind gates is a trash mechanic. 🚮

[near valve]

So this Galactic Rush event called Temporal Offensive is actually offensive. Because the mats we spent yesterday don't count toward it. You want us to spend another 150M points in materials today? Whoever dreamed up and greenlighted this event should be fired.

[austere mortar]

you guys lost the plot with this galactic rush event. it’s not even fun. it’s literally only molesting our material reserves. i’m not even convinced the rewards are worth it.

[turbid drum]

It’s a freaking joke. Spend events broken up by “kill 10 hostiles”. So stupid and lame.

[honest bone]

<@&509690795536941056> This Galactic Rush event is quite possibly the worst one you have ever pushed on this community... 5 straight days of expecting us to spend 192m points of materials PER DAY!!! Jog on! You are insulting the few committed players that you have left.

TURN ON G5 SCRAPPING and make the rewards proportionate (not trimmed back). To complete day 1 (all events) I built 9 g5 ships and maxed them. Most boring, uneventful pointless waste of my time! I now have a hanger full of 31 maxed G5 ships doing naff all... I pushed to finish all of the milestones yesterday, hoping / expecting something better today, but no, it's a duplicate of yesterday just called something different. This game is being completely ruined by incredibly bad management and boring events that have as much depth as a paddling pool.

This rubbish needs to stop immediately before you literally have no one left. Stop taking the biscuit out of the players that have kept you in a job for all these years - get a grip now before the rot becomes unstoppable.

[wild pelican]

Here we are into Day 1 of my resolution to play less STFC until Scopely gets the hint and LISTENS TO FEEDBACK. Here's hoping something changes before they start losing more players again.

[grave matrix]

I wonder if the feedback in this channel is too subtle to get attention.

https://tenor.com/view/star-trek-shocked-pretends-to-be-shocked-omg-wow-gif-5194187393645250946

[sterile wigeon]

I’d rather have increasing amounts of different hostiles each round and only 1-2 spend events (or one every 10 other SMS, if it wants to be a kobayashi maru-esque event).

Like kill 1 independent hostile, kill 10 klg, kill 20 eclipse, 30 aggregation, 40 augment, etc etc.

It would be at least a bit more engaging and would get people moving across the nap. The rewards for this spend are atrocious.

The amount I’ve spent I could easily win any other weekend SLB on my server and at least walk away with an officer or decent tokens, vs like 3 shards of an epic officer (having reached SMS 5 twice now)

[sharp thistle]

That would require scopely to actually care about the game and it's players. Something they have shown a distinct lack of both lately. Doubt it will change this year either.

[halcyon goblet]

The best thing about galactic rush: the events are grouped into a single tile to be ignored

[open edge]

This galactic rush event series might be one of the worst ever. Great way to start 2026 Scopely! I would love to see your metrics on participation for this poopburger.

[vestal gazelle]

last time they had an actual building speeded up reward for the COW. is it not in this one?.

[quartz creek]

@full swan Never again. The Galactic Rush Event is such total BS. I've got no other words or ways to describe it. I basically either have to go broke upgrading stuff or spend a small fortune buying stuff to compete. Three days of nothing but progressive material spending has to be a joke, right?! Then the rewards are just as laughable. Officer shards if you don't do well or you might get some other equally paltry stuff if you manage to place in the top 10 of an XALB. So, not only are you competing with the other whales on your server, you're competing with the whales on another server as well to place top 10 to get the crumbs. This is low Scopely, even for you. Rant over.

[tacit zephyr]

Look how twisted Scopely is when it comes to fleecing players with this event; they haven't made common materials count, only uncommon, rare, and epic ones.💩 🤮

[smoky rose]

The event was misnamed - it's Galactic Dump not Galactic Rush

Happy New Year, says Scopely, please bend over

[wild pelican]

Lube me up Scotty?

[smoky rose]

need to pay for a Prime research to unlock that

[wild pelican]

Lemme guess. $99.99?

[barren arrow]

<@&509690795536941056>
Dear Scopely,
You might not pay much attention to this but another player from our alliance just quit the game after playing since the start.... he was a mid level 60s player, medium spender so from your viewpoint probably not a big loss.... however from our viewpoint he was a good friend, a teammate, a great alliance member and fun to play the game with which is of vital importance to us. But not to you it seems Scopely. And the reason he's left? Too many spend events, not enough fun, too much grind. And he's not the only one either, another 6 players have left the game from our alliance alone, for exactly the same reasons.... you are draining the money from players but worst of all, the aspect of fun..... which, after all, is the primary reason for playing a game
Sort this out please, you're losing players fast!
#bringbackthefun

[cold junco]

Server 168 too has lost so many long time players because of the $copely BS .

[delicate pebble]

I am level 54 and competing with Players in G6 for the Distinction Exctinction event, which is an event I used to like to participate in when I was in G4. Now there is no point, with the way the brackets are designed. Please have these updated so I can participate and possible rank in this event before I can get my Cube to Tier 16

[vale patrol]

You're absolutely mental to make this Galaxy Rush event four days long. I ran out of mats halfway through yesterday.

[ocean crypt]

stop adding the mark to refinery when arena starts, you have another place to put the mark, not in refinery which is used to collect rss, not do useless pvp that ain't true pvp but another compromised attempt to rip off the players

[little saffron]

I've never seen a firmer lack of interest from my alliance than with the Galactic Rush event. There was more interest in getting Sarris Invasions done, and you all REMOVED those. More of us have worked on Stella armadas today than Rush. It's a mind-bogglingly bad return on time and resource investment.

[cold sandal]

It's more Galactic Trash..🤷🏼‍♂️

[gloomy hawk]

2025 The Year of Hell, 2026 the year STFC dies? 👀

[agile latch]

I thought death comes before hell.

[gloomy hawk]

#ReleaseG5Scrapping and istg if you knuckleheads mess this up (99.9% says you will since it's how you operate), it will yet be another wave of long term players quitting, how you have such an unrealistic view of your player base being able to spend this much materials is beyond me while everyone has to save up for your little cash cow vengeance that's still not even close to being decently able to get in any other way. Sure outposts, which is also a horrible passive feature you pushed down our throats. Newsflash, it will always be a passive, overnight thing, nobody leaves 3 ships for 6 hours and still plays the game actively, just a bunch of nerds with no grasp how to keep a game enjoyable, just throw more nonsense our way and suck as much cash as you can. Just curious though.. how are the numbers going for you people? 🤣

[gloomy hawk]

Normally yes, but since Scopay is made by the devil i feel you have to go through reception first 😶‍🌫️

[vestal cloak]

Fist if the Empire ends in 7.5 hours? Try to get it right, will ya?

[agile latch]

Thanks for reminding me to ruin 24 players' game 😊

[late orchid]

So all these mini spend events in the galactic rush just equals the normal heroic weekend mat spend. But the players are getting screwed out of mat spend points because of your split events setup. So many players are quitting. This game is gonna be in maintenance mode by the end of the year... make my words...

[west veldt]

More like maintenance mode in the next month if the geniuses keep up events like galactic trash rush. Obvious garbage event because they think players are swimming in mats and rss

[grand fulcrum]

<@&509690795536941056> as many others I'm sure have said the investment-reward on Galactic rush is terrible, for the amount of mats I spent I could have completed a heroic SMS for 100+ new epic officer shards (from the SMS only, not counting what SLB may have gotten me), but only get enough event currency for 25 shards for 6+ month old officers

[dawn dew]

You know best thing we can do is just not do the events. think maybe it times players just don't particpiate don't spend the time, money, or recources on these event just ignore them.

Because obviously complaining here does not get any results, Mybe we just need to ignore these even maybe get a best result.

[copper shadow]

999,999$ after all it's a brand new year and scopley has to make up for all the players leaving and lackluster pack sales so they can all work 2 weeks this year and vacation for the rest of it.

[copper shadow]

surprised you weren't muted for saying the b word then again scopley doesn't work on weekends and only for an hour during weekdays so good job lol. That being said ya complaining to the clowns over at scopley does nothing unless you're giving them money at same time just don't do the events and hoard because if it has slb alb in the event name odds are its paid to rank even worse than past 7years of events combined.

[dawn dew]

LOL got rid of the B word

[boreal coyote]

Correct. At the end of the day, they only have completion metrics and sales to go on. I wish we could “opt out” of them collecting our completions to any events we do in protest, not because it’s fun or engaging, but because we did so out of spite or to help our alliance.

[scenic flint]

<@&509690795536941056> it would be super nice if the Voyager archive would complete this event. Its feels like a waste to hit these hostiles now and I can't always spend spend the scaning cost.

[high aurora]

<@&509690795536941056> level 72 hostiles do not score at all…..

[gloomy hawk]

You can already tell it's going to be a great year 🤣

[copper shadow]

I haven't done that event since finishing the archive wonder if the rss and mats even make it worth my time. Then again it prolly is better than wasting 193m points of materials for 20 odd officers shards for a 6month old officer

[high aurora]

72’s score for this

[ashen notch]

And to this point, it should be a big loss to Scopely. Anyone willing to spend should be a loss to them, regardless of how much they spend. There in lies the issue with Scopely. Their business model is to prey on the wealthy players' FOMO rather than lower prices and make an engaging/fair game for all levels of players so that a wider base of players is not only able to spend, but also wants to spend.

[copper shadow]

1 whale that spends 2k a month or 20 players that buy a single $99 pack a month they equal the same amount but scopley doesn't focus on that type of quantity exactly. Yet they probably wondered why so many people quit last year and are still quiting.

[sinful stratus]

For worse rewards.

[high aurora]

I don't think you can fire Billy from Accounting

[eager birch]

Sneaky, Sneaky......... didn't notice this at first, but the spend event are only for G3 or higher Uncommon nd Epic materials..... are you kidding me!!!!! The lack of caring by Scopley and the push for greed over content is getting more and more blatant!!!

[scenic flint]

<@&509690795536941056> Galatic Rush could have been a fun little event. For the first day, it could have had us hit different hostiles for each milestone event (eclipse, fkr, silent, Xindi, etc), and therefore "rushing" around the galaxy to complete it.

Similar for day 2 and armadas (group FKR, Dominion solos, Kremin solos, regular formadas, rare formadas, Kremin formadas, continum solos, etc)

And similar for waves, basic, mirror, solo, elites. Though there are less waves options than other events types.

But instead we get super boring and expensive mat spend events.

[sour sapphire]

Galactic Rush is objectively one of the worst events, if not the worst event, I’ve ever seen in this game. Seriously guys, what a terrible idea.

[wild pelican]

Day 2 of my spend event protest now underway. Scopely should sell STFC to a company who isn't motivated by pure greed.

[sturdy mural]

sorry, but this new event is galactic trash.

[dark jewel]

I'll ask this question. The way scopely does their surveys. Who thinks galactic Rush was a failure?

[umbral halo]

<@&509690795536941056> Scopely forced itself to drastically change the game over a year ago by giving away materials and resources, and it completely screwed things up!
Seeing that its revenue was dropping and its financial resources were dwindling, it started multiplying paid events or events demanding exorbitant amounts of resources, favoring those with very deep pockets, but it started losing more and more players! Even I, who occasionally spent money where I thought I was being helpful, have completely stopped, and given the utterly ridiculous turn these events have taken, I'm not about to start again. In short, either you want to completely destroy the game, in which case this is the right strategy, or your sales team is as incompetent as your programmers! There you have it, that's the rant that's been building up for a long time, and it had to come out!🤦🏻‍♂️

[verbal mortar]

What's really sad about all this, with all the complaints about this event it seems that no one from Scopely's side have read the feedback. No acknowledgement that they have got this wrong. It almost seems like if they ignore the complaints and the rising irritation of the players it will all go away.

[uncut fable]

What a poorly thought out event.. one starter of doing something like waves and the rest of them is spending mats... pretty ridiculous and unobtainable.. who designed this event and pushed it out.. garbage and laziness and unable to do math because the amount required is absolutely unobtainable.

[hollow lichen]

Even worse, the starter every day is spending mats before you even get to the tedious waves, hostiles, armadas or whatever is the flavour of the day for the copy paste events

[wild pelican]

Day 3 of my Spend X Mats Protest. Scopely. Needs. To. Do. Better.

[cold sandal]

Not participating in any of this 💩

[lone dragon]

I never participate in the Incursions. It's been broken since day 1 and they can't get it right. I just shield and play other games.

[small rover]

No XP spending side scoring....?

[turbid hamlet]

This should say 600k for the top spot (at least) NOT 120k

[lean cargo]

Back in my day, winning an SLB got you an officer unlock. Not 20% of one. These payouts are pathetic.

[cloud stream]

I don't understand the point of this pricing model, especially when the purchase limit is just the max shards needed to unlock. Is this just another part of the "game" where people can try to "min/max" buying things, or is it intentionally designed to trick people out of their currency?

[agile latch]

"Officer Depot Supremacy (Heroic) – SMS Score by spending Officer Depot Tokens" event missing. <@&509690795536941056>

[frank osprey]

Working as intended I guess since it’s been working the last 2 or 3 days.

[amber wyvern]

Lack of ship and/or officer XP for this event is garbage. Stupid Scopley New Year.

<@&509690795536941056>

[strong anchor]

How is a base in territory bubbled up?

Finding several shielded bases in territory (?????)

[agile latch]

<@&509690795536941056> Anything to say about missing/not working/badly adjusted events? 🤔

[small rover]

I had to do a couple researches I was leaving alone for a while.

[scenic flint]

Why doesn't the Duantless count?

[icy mural]

I’m putting a shield up. And walking away from incursions now. You guys ruined that too. Shields still up in territory on enemy server. While ours are down. Scopley ruined it. The devs are incompetent

[earnest thunder]

Really stupid Event so no chance for normal play only pay or you have much much time... that is how they want our Money 🤣

[spark radish]

SMS for Incursions really needs a wider range of ships to count. At least allow the G one higher than yours to give points, and add more specialist ships.

[static onyx]

shields still broken during incursion...

[ocean arch]

are you trying to kill us? how do you communicate internally WORSE than externally? how can you run faction hunt, incursions, cow all same day.

More proof you don’t play your own game or talk between game departments. It’s embarrassing,
Scopely, get it together

[grand fulcrum]

<@&509690795536941056> you guys need to add some stuff to the incursion store, everything in there is over a year old now....

[wild pelican]

I will no longer participate in Incursions. People on 102 have been throwing them for past few months. No point in engaging in the event if it's always sabotaged.

[ornate canopy]

Incursion events should only allow players to attack another player that is with 10% of their ship's power total power

[boreal coyote]

What! 😂 I’m a 56 and I love being in the same pvp system as 68s! Completely balanced 😂

[ocean crypt]

lastest skirmish, complete part 1 to unlock part2 but only if you complete stage 50 , stage 50 of what, another con and scam by yours truly scopely

[strong anchor]

Incursions seems to be rigged when 2 bases of same alliance with 2Qd rss can stay bubbled within tc

[copper shadow]

or how about when someone can find your base in less than a second after porting to a new system and yes it does happen

[strong anchor]

yep

[formal stone]

It maybe that someone was scanning your base at the exact time you ported, depending on if they scanned at the exact time you ported the game can continue the scan as you move to your new location giving away where you ported to, a glitch that's been around a long time from memory but lots don't know - so maybe you were just unlucky on the timing.

[umbral ravine]

<@&509690795536941056> enough with the successive mat spend events, I know you're on a major cash grab but enough is enough

[misty bluff]

at least make sure spent mats add correctly

[quiet agate]

any chance ever of fixing the ranking boards during incursions?

not that many people are named "Retreiving"

[potent lake]

This is by far the most absurd transition weekend yet incursions and cow and half a dozen other ridiculously high level low scoring events. I've never been more disappointed than right now

[icy mural]

This has been broke for years. They literally programmed their game into 💩. And will be asking for money Tuesday

[quiet agate]

its simple coding... its not that hard...

[icy mural]

That’s precisely it. They don’t care

[plush fulcrum]

Conor cares! He said so in the ransom video 🤣 Although to be fair, he might have had his fingers crossed!

[quiet agate]

yet ppl still give them money

im still fully ftp at ops 63

[brave wigeon]

Incursions are still boring and a waste of time. Just remove it.

[icy mural]

I think he meant he cares about money. And that’s what he was thinking about.

[verbal wharf]

Incursions are the best part of the game.

[remote sedge]

This game is very very lag during incursion, please fix the latency issue

[halcyon goblet]

are you sure? 😅

[static onyx]

<@&509690795536941056> can you let scopely take a look at the incursion scoring system? With g6/g7 having many old resources they don't need they just "trade" a ton of those in minutes and the incursion ends up with astronomical points. It doesn't matter what 95% of the other players do or not do...

[ocean crypt]

faction hunt is becoming increasingly annoying having to join every single one every single time and if you forget, you killing lots of hostiles wondering where the hunt rewards are

[gusty aurora]

<@&509690795536941056> This needs to be updated.

[rancid blaze]

They can never please everyone. There were complaints of being automatically joined in the past so they made this change to opt in

[hardy knoll]

How about a player option in their setting to auto-join certain events

[sick furnace]

😂 If you enjoy prowling around searching for miners and players that can't fight back.

[verbal wharf]

Not how I do incursions. Not sure why you're looking for miners during Incursions.

[sick furnace]

I don't look for miners either but I've seen several examples of high level players racing to kill a miner. I know because I bait them with miners while doing my dailies.

[fluid igloo]

Thanks for extending the incursion exo store back to how it was, i hope this change will stay.

[strong anchor]

I’ve always loved getting Chimera Blueprint Particles for ships I already have

[slender narwhal]

Ok the sarris store is open now. But what about our armada tokens we still have

[late orchid]

Yall need to Put in a redeem for 50 blue particles. LITERALLY EVERYONE has an extra half of a fire from your initial arc event rewards...

[waxen totem]

Thanks for letting us burn our Sarris currency ❤️

[pallid bloom]

Scopely, please remove cooldown on pulling Fatu-Krey Scrap Exchange

[high aurora]

My Saris event store only had 5 and 4 star mats it in. Nothing else for ops 71 at all? I think someone messed up the coding <@&509690795536941056>

[austere fiber]

Was gonna make the same comment (71 also). G4/G5… AYFKM?

[trail adder]

Please REMOVE the JOIN for each faction hunt!

[meager moss]

Bad lag on s30

[trail adder]

Lag on s42

[fierce belfry]

Can a slider be added for the eye patch claims? I'm not above pressing the lonely 1 chest claim 80 times, but it would be nice not to have to.

[worldly tiger]

I guess those who grinded endless eye-patches even thought the trade-in was severly limited are the ones who made out from fatu-krey in the end lol, give me a coupel months heads up when you plan to deprecate somethign else that piles up uselessly like dominion hostile loot 😛

[turbid hamlet]

sweet 50 directives still that will now be useless, great!

Is there even a convert for all this stuff?

[shell vortex]

Just remove all cool downs for sarris .... It's ridiculous to have to pull everyday.... Does anyone at scopely actually play the game?

[ocean crypt]

sunday mirror event needs more lv 70 sites or higher sites for the 71+'s, getting far crowded to work in the single site, especially when you have some pilots using 3 ships at the same time, nevermind a dozen or 2 pilots all fighting for the same hostile

[errant jetty]

Has anyone else noticed a Bug activating Titan's Maximum Fortification that causes the affected ships to show as Destroyed? When clicking on that ships repair function, it jumps the ship back into the System it was in, still functioning.

[solid tangle]

Do G5 players not get Relativity parts in the New Year's Pass store?

[worldly tiger]

Yeah Titan fort just does that in armadas. your ships don't actually return to dock, they just appear to have and clicking repair button puts them back to normal state. I haven't seen any dev/support talka bout fixing it being even ont he radar

[wheat pasture]

Any chance of giving G3 players access to the G4 rewards in the Sarris Invasion Store? The offerings for G3 players are insultingly useless.

[honest gust]

Our Alliance placed 21st in the Glactic Rush event in the XALB, got a whopping 2.5 shards for an officer, very shameful rewards for a 5 day event.

[errant jetty]

actually happened to me when getting Chaos parts. Was not in an Armada

[worldly tiger]

oh, well thats a new one for me. it's pretty consistent with armadas, but i don't often use titan jsut for grinding stuff either so maybe i've jsut been lucky

[runic meadow]

Must try hader next time.

[plain pecan]

The Territory Season Pass is once again going to end before Monday's tc's next week. Extend it a day or 12 hours and change it for all future Season passes, please. I made the points but there may be players that haven't and will need next week to complete it.

[chrome hill]

err now on earth do i earn fatu-Krey? at lvl39

[vast goblet]

You don't, that content is retired

[chrome hill]

oh only just appeared my end just now

[novel mango]

So are invading entities going away?

[icy mural]

No. You still have the krenim, and the transogen hostiles

[novel mango]

Why is there a timer on a store for a feature you getting rid of?

[ocean crypt]

g6 needs a lot more lower level mining nodes, far too many miners appearing in g6 and no space to cater for them all, as bad as when had a cardassain event and everyone was in the top space trying to catch a armada

[fast sonnet]

So they can push pvp

[lime cove]

Please remove the cooldown on the Sarris store. It's pointless.

[static onyx]

or the limit of 5 on fatu-krey scrap exchange -> I could convert ~4700x on max pull 🙈

[stoic ferry]

Why why why do you Have to Join the Stup*d ""Faction Hunt"" first! Forgot to do it and must do Federation hunt all over again. WHY!!!

[lapis zephyr]

So that people working on a faction don’t mess up their work and still play and get some stuff ☺️

[icy mural]

Here’s another that makes completely no sense. Just let us claim the static or charged every 24 hours. Why another completely pointless token. Or every 12 hours.

[limpid nimbus]

Okay, i was silent during the last event chain that only gave you something to do when you had enough mats to waste...or better said enough incompleted stuff to waste mats on it - after weeks of draining events that forced to max even stuff you never wanted...but what you did just now is even worse. Why did you end the "Beyond the Limits SLB" in the middle of the night, hours before the official event reset? That ruined my score + i have protomatter and a not upgraded tech lying around until the next event.

[crimson tree]

I mean if I could trade them in faster for sigs I would. lol

[limber stream]

Giving away resources for participation was one of the best things they have done. It made it so you can progress like every other game on the market. No more spending years moving up a few levels. No more camping for months to make sure you eek out a few hard to get mats. The reason for the old system was, there was very little, or none at all, content waiting for you if you progressed too quickly. Excessive bottlenecks are not good game mechanics.

[vital swallow]

The last Boimler event - kill hostiles with an explorer does not seem to count hostiles attacking you but only if you are the aggressor. I'll complete with my swarm dailies but nonetheless annoying when I've had my Centurion in hostile space for hours

[agile latch]

Daily event - Limited Time Artifact Hunt - SMS not working. Not scoring. Or just delayed

[warped grove]

lol great. so a useless battlepass or i attempt to speedrun 3 ops upgrades in the next four hours...

[sharp iris]

<@&509690795536941056> Looks like G6 FKR Ore, Gas & Crystal along with Spelunker mining daily goals, aren't scoring when recalling miners.

[agile latch]

Artifact sms doesn't score too

[outer brook]

Yes, Miners did not score. Faction hunt is not scoring either. Is anything?

[steady tiger]

Wait until 6 PM. When everything is updated, your ships will explode and your warehouses will be cleared. That means money for new stuff. 😄

[coarse aspen]

<@&509691205798592532> when will dailies scoring be fixed?

[ashen notch]

<@&509690795536941056>, So am I understanding correctly that the majority of this new arc is unplayable without owning the new ship? If so, bold strategy to start the new year off with a paywalled arc. Let me know how that goes.

[small rover]

Yeah, I guess I'll be taking my Reliant to T4 now since my Vi'Dar is long since maxed out, lol. Just gonna wait for event schedule first to confirm.

[wheat pasture]

<@&509690795536941056> I'm going to keep asking for this every day. Please give G3 players access to at least G4-tier rewards for the Sarris Invasion Store. The G3 rewards are useless and these players have a stockpile of eyepatches that they've been saving up for years at this point.

[near saddle]

I can’t promise anything, Slime, but I’ll see what I can do and pass the feedback along.

[wheat pasture]

I appreciate it, Pauly 🙏
I would tag the devs directly if I could, but you guys are the digital meat shields they place in front of us 🙁

[obsidian sierra]

<@&509690795536941056> Why are there no ship parts in the "Choice reward"? I don't need materials, but I have a huge shortage of parts. It would be great to have a choice.

I recently upgrade my OPS to 51+, to g5 materials and I no longer receive any g4 ship parts from events rewards. But all my ships are currently g4 now and I need to upgrade them. And i don't have anything to do it with. Please allow the choice of ship parts

upd. i not meaning special ships. personal for me i need rare survey g4 ship parts and rare explorer g4 ship parts. im talking about this things. I understand that you don't want to ruin the economy of the game. but I'm not asking for a lot of g5 when I'm OPS50-59 myself. I'm asking for the previous grades

[lean bear]

Wondering the same. Completely ftp this time, is there no pass whatsoever for sub 20 players? If so, stalled and done.

[ocean crypt]

new v'ger hostile refresh rate, needs improved, had dropped to 3 hostiles left, when should be 9 hostiles per site minimum, every time, and was in the space myself

[novel mango]

They pat themselves on the back about how much they listen to the player base then ignore the player base.

[small rover]

Thanks for the 10 BP limit. 😿

Also.... Charged Nanoprobes but it's Active Nanoprobes to spend? lol

Oooh, nvm on 10 limit. Just gotta wait until tomorrow to get the next set? Kay, cool.

[true radish]

<@&509690795536941056> for sarris invasion store, why not have all ships. I only see 6 and I have all of them. Why not allow me to pick up lue peints to something I might have skipped previously?

[ripe forge]

Why does a 51+ mission give 3* raw mats as a reward? Why bother?

[odd dock]

@near saddle @full swan spawn rate of new ViaGERa hostiles way too long.... many systems empty of hostiles

[stable bronze]

well this arc is useless for me.. i have a max vi'dar already (and events that require me to spend the upgrade components for it is a bust) and i would be getting the vi'dar talios for free once i get high enough in ops so getting BP for it is a waste.

wish you had an option to get stuff from the lower ops bracket too.

[raw adder]

Any1 else not getting scoring for the Iso dmg daily?

[cedar fog]

Vger event not scoring at all hitting lvl 64's and nothing counting

[left marlin]

C’mon Live Ops! Get your act together! I can get more than first place gets doing the weekly Xin Deep SMS. Such an easy thing to fix, sheesh! 🤦‍♂️

[frozen sedge]

Again, the 40s events can only be completed at 51 because it’s upgrading level locked ships.

[alpine niche]

It is absolutely ridiculous the hoops needed to jump through to get all the BPs for the V'Dar Talios. I have all the nanoprobes but nnnnNNNNNNOOOOooooo.....Scopley wants you to click 10 times per day, for 10 freaking days, to get all the BPs. Talk about a "How can we anger our customers even more?" answer. C'mon, quit being such a douche, Scopley.

[sharp vapor]

Revenant Run PVP SMS apparently not scoring for losing against a Revenant

[rugged pelican]

the gorn surgical daily for doing iso damage not scoring. i got credit for the other one to kill 10 hostiles. but other daily still shows 0/100

[errant belfry]

miss the days where you could earn the rewards for higher ships but we just had to wait for the right ops to use them... now most events are useless for the slow grinders who max stuff before going up in ops

[scenic flint]

challenge task is not scoring.

[quiet gulch]

Talios Trials PVP- SMS

No Hostiles in System to Complete even though its an option in Event?!?!?

[errant belfry]

that is some nonsense even for scopely. Just let us collect 10 at a time for the day!

[ashen notch]

<@&509690795536941056>, Starship Oh My part 3 cannot be completed without purchasing the USS Excelsior?!?!?! What kind of garbage is this?!?!? The last time the new missions SMS was paywalled, it went over with the players like a lead balloon, yet here we are making the same disrespectful choices in player satisfaction.

Also, how the heck do you get the Gorn Surgical to score? Im doing exactly as the daily instructs.

[scenic flint]

it's broken.

[ashen notch]

Go figure...

[woven olive]

Anyone got the redeem code?

[vast basalt]

Am I missing something here? Free battlepass track gives me 24 Revenant data core. 1 plan costs 1 core. But I'm only allowed to buy 10 plans? What to do with the remaining 14 core?

[short robin]

Went to redeem new year's officers and the event store is gone. It had 2 days left last night...

[dark horizon]

anyone remembers when this was actually worth spending time completing ?

[sharp vapor]

was similar last month for Eviscerator.... in the end, could use all 24

[gentle peak]

<@&509690795536941056> gorn surgical isn't scoring even though I've been dealing iso damage to the hostiles in the specified system

[limpid galleon]

i have the same problem

[mental relic]

Serious question <@&509690795536941056>

Do you guys actually want people to stop playing the game? How many times can we possibly say we HATE pay walled events?

I spend a ton of money on this game. I really don't want to be forced to spend money on participating in events.

[strong anchor]

Gorn Surgical isn’t scoring (but the Gorn Assault did in the same system)

[mellow summit]

The Gorn Surgical Daily states "Earn Points by dealing iso damage to V'ger GORN ships in IYA-9. IYA-9 doesn't have V'ger GORN ships. The system Paetbria does. $copley $copley'd this event. Making it impossible to complete.

[mortal tartan]

Weekly paywalled events, at that! They must be getting really desperate for cash

[terse harbor]

Where have you hidden the Alliance Syncopation event for Ops 20-50????? Or does someone need to hit the start button??

[crystal tree]

<@&509690795536941056> Any chance we could get one more day on the New Years token store? Or should I just hit up support?

[scenic flint]

$20 for a weekly event? Is Scopely drunk cause that's nuts

[civic sphinx]

Lets make 71 kill the 71 hostiles for the new daily event. Do you guys have any idea how hard 71+ hostiles are, in general they are way overpowered, not only this ones. Not gonna switch tech every time and buffs everyday for who knows how long this event gonna last

[woven olive]

Same question! Where is the AS to complete the Meta AS? <@&509690795536941056>

[true radish]

<@&509690795536941056> Event not scoring. Wants 250M iso damage for 1 point but I'm getting in the billions per shot and nothing. Even hitting hostiles in the named system and above, nothing.

[wheat pasture]

Wow. This may actually be the most insulting thing I've ever seen in an event, and that is saying A TON.

[pulsar hearth]

add me to the Gorn Surgical not scoring (completed defeating 10 VGer Gorn in the named system)

[frigid depot]

same here

bound to be enough iso damage done to complete the task

[pastel swan]

No holodeck Mission? No Promo-Code?

[coral orchid]

I wonder if it is per hit

[gloomy current]

promocode: vger

[coral orchid]

Reedeem code VGER

not sure for lower levels or that covers all

[novel verge]

new dailies are not moving for me, either no matter how much ISO damage I deal

[buoyant kraken]

Any Idea how to kill 6.6million hostiles within the given timeframe?

[strong anchor]

any word on when challenge scoring will be fixed?

[opal solar]

finished the first vger on (kill 10) but the scoring one doesn't seem to be working at all

[coral orchid]

I reckon it's ISO dmg per ship not overall, that's why it is not counting.. or another Scops bug

[odd dock]

@near saddle @full swan Daily Goal: Gorn Surgical = not scoring

[opal solar]

I've been doing some 338M ISO damage in one hit - and nothing

won't worry if it isn't working then -- just wait for the compensation chest I suppose

[odd dock]

1.5B iso done and 0 score

[night fern]

The events requiring using charged nanoprobes should count any use of them, such as the options in the refinery, not just direct spending on Talios.

[late siren]

look in TOS for mission

[wraith verge]

Whose sadistic joke was this? 🤣

[silent silo]

I'm so tired of the mid-ops battle pass! Ship parts that are easy to get in normal play, no way to prepare upcoming OPS. Choice tokens are back, that’s ok. But the rest is only thinking backwards instead of offering a sensible ArcShop in which targeted development can be carried out.
If the goal is to hype up small OPS and make them pay for passes, then there has to be something in it that's worth it! Unfortunately it's not...

[small rover]

Jesus Christ, I'm glad I only had to kill 50 for my event as an Ops 30.... lol....

[tired pulsar]

Why doe new ship cost so much to build once bought; 18 trillion trit is a JOKE?

[velvet hare]

Not scoring for one the new Dailies ????

[tired pulsar]

BUILD COST IS CRAZY!!!!

[naive viper]

How are you supposed to do the new dailies when you cant kill ships at your ops level? Tried various crews, Lorcas Fist, research is good.... can barely even scratch these things.

[gloomy rain]

I have found hostiles matching my ops level and followed the directions in these challenges, but they don't register🤔

[odd dock]

its not lag, its broke

lag is a lie made to stir the pot

[tired pulsar]

ARE THESE BUILD COSTS RIGHT?????

[gloomy rain]

Why are you censoring your resources?😂

[tired pulsar]

Don’t want raiding 🙄

[sharp iris]

if thats the opening build cost, imagine what the 15 tiers will cost to finish it

[ocean crypt]

thieves, nothing but thieves, new ship, but lack of parts and research tokens to be of any use to man nor beast, greedy unscrupulous , need to hit hostiles your own ops size to do dailies but can't reach, nor can any other ship actually kill them as they mitigate every single bit of iso damage done to them, catch 22, and only way out is to buy parts and research tokens , total thieves, ship can never be upgraded or researched

[lime cove]

Help me understand this - I'm ops 43 and my focus ship is the Revenant. Why are my SMS events focused on Borg Probes instead of QC hostiles?

[sand sigil]

so, quick question - will we get a functional iso damage daily task before reset / most of us go to bed? Otherwise - I guess - we can't finish the 5d 23h SMS

[civic sphinx]

This is coming back again. At one point people have done everything or have almost done it. There’s nothing to score for that way. Just stop all the events and 15 battle passes every week. Its just to much.
Cant even kill the 71 hostile for the new event. Wont purchase anything anymore because of that. Or i just completely stop playing at all, seems a better idea at this point

[hushed otter]

Gorn surgical goal/challenge just caught up

[neat lake]

Hit hostile in between the level range for the iso damage to score

[shut geode]

Scopely has smoked too much weed again.. ultra extreme hardcore loop

[nimble kayak]

But it didn't score...

[ocean arch]

It's nuts. I don't even know if they're beatable w/o Veng

[dire crystal]

I was able to get a few kills with crozier, t6 lvl 30

[ocean arch]

Sorry should have been clearer, I mean on 71s

[dire crystal]

Most of those hostiles I have seen are explorer types

[strong lintel]

Talios PVP scoring is confusing. Do I need to die against a Talios 10 times to complete this in any ship or do I need to die in a Talios against the 1 dude in the system? I also love the PVE scoring for defeating hostiles that don't exist.

[mossy frigate]

<@&509690795536941056> is this event really thought to be doable?

[random meadow]

Yet another farcical pay to win event ... yawn

[modern urchin]

Anyone know the promo code for ops 50?

[naive viper]

Think its talios vs talios for the pvp.

[wild pelican]

Code is VGER for Ops 51+, I believe. Sub 51 gets nothing.

[ocean arch]

I give up. This daily is impossible for 71+ without Veng or maxed epic. it's a DAILY. WTF scopely??

[strong lintel]

That's what I figured. Just wanted to see what people think. Still love the PVE option that is impossible to score.

[ashen notch]

That's what shields are for.

[tired pulsar]

Yes but in the few minutes i forget to raise them ‘pirates appear’ 😂

[wild pelican]

Yarrrrg. Hello there me neighbor matey!

[hot orchid]

T14 krencha and i can Shoot 72er hostiles

[ocean arch]

nice. My epic is at t6 but good to know for future, thanks. What crew

[thorn python]

So the current BP is effectively impossible to even participate if you don't have a vidar but also doesn't include any way to help players get a vidar if they don't already have one. What a fun and engaging event

[meager moss]

Can’t raid bases again

[worthy jay]

T9 Epic, lvl70. Can kill whopping 3 gorn max buffed, none without. Pretty depressing tbh

[strong lintel]

My Botany Bay confirmed that it's Talios v Talios to score.

[shell vortex]

Why if you have very hard hostiles do you make the travel times so long. We're past that in the game. If it takes me 4 minutes to get to a system to only get blown up, I'm definitely not likely to engage. And I'm not gonna pay for the privilege to go faster because is terrible design. I want to spend moneyon good content and used to. Decisions like silly travel times are not gonna pry anyone's wallet open. Valuable things will. If you can't design value, then you need new designers. You have a huge captive audience you are running off because your design is bad.

[austere mortar]

scopes, you all are out of your minds. yes i got the ship, no i will not by parts too. hitting my ops level is not possible (67) out of the gate. probably not an issue if you start small and grow but it seems i have no choice but to buy the bits because the DAILY is not possible. i have no issue grinding more but out of the gate punching down is a must. FIX THIS

[hot orchid]

Janeway (c), seska suder

[ocean arch]

thanks. I have gotten better results with Chang with my cube but will try Janeway with epic when I am eventually there

[ashen notch]

Fix it? That has been their tactic for years, and theyre not about to change it unless players stop feeding into the way they prey on player FOMO. Simply put, they got ya, and that's why they keep doing it.

[glad epoch]

Have the exact same issue. What the hell is the point of having a BP event that requires already having the ship? If it's for the FOMO money, it's a bit silly as why am I going to spend money to get BP's to get the ship to earn BP's

[austere mortar]

buying the new shiny ship isn’t in itself fomo. to each their own. they do need to do something to fix the dailies though.

[strong lintel]

Does your event for today have you fighting Borg probes? If so, I'd put a ticket into support. They can't expect you to defeat an enemy that you can't get to.

[opal dock]

https://tenor.com/view/that-sucks-ensign-olly-ensign-beckett-mariner-star-trek-lower-decks-that's-awful-gif-15944464527054769475

[thorn python]

Not only do we have to fight borg probes but I'd have to destroy about 450 of the highest level ones I can reach

[austere mortar]

@full swan excel dailies need something like franklin A had… kill 100 of the hostile time, each hit at ops level counts as 10. hitting at ops level out of the gate is too rough for a daily. (yes i think that grind is horrible but at least it’s only temporary)

[strong lintel]

Wow that's trash

[dark topaz]

don’t use the borg cube if you have done it

[glad epoch]

The ops 25 mission was for probes, yes, but they had a regular hostiles option thankfully. That's not the problem event though, its the Hunter Drill mission which gives 3 Vidar BP's but requires a Vidar to score in it

[dark topaz]

have somebody figured out how this new challenge milestones are counting points? i thougt when i finished todays 2 dailys i get the second milestone but i lack of 75 points

[thorn python]

Ah yes, just let me kill 23,000 hostiles really quick. Totally a viable alternative

[strong lintel]

Yeah, that's trash. I wish they would stop with these awful Battle Passes. It was nice when they just ignored everyone under 50. Now they want us to jump through hoops.

[glad epoch]

Better get grinding . For ops 25 it was just 30 hostiles

[thorn python]

I am ops 25

[glad epoch]

Then that has to be a bug. Mine was just 320 points

[strong lintel]

I'd definitely submit a ticket.

[thorn python]

I guess that makes more sense, time to submit a ticket I guess

[hushed otter]

Is there a new mission today?

[glad epoch]

Meanwhile, I really hope that this is a daily limit and not a total limit. If it's total, then what was the point of giving 80 BP's in the battle pass but limiting the amount of max redeemables to 10?

[hushed otter]

Is it in the tos tab, signal to noise?

[thorn python]

@glad epochJust curious, what's your point requirement for the sweep the probes resonance sms? I think mine is bugged too

[strong lintel]

It should be daily

[glad epoch]

400

[glad epoch]

I hope so, but I wouldn't be surprised if thats also messed up

[thorn python]

So mine requiring 600 k is a bug then

[glad epoch]

Or they just really don't like you

[thorn python]

Also a distinct possibility

[strong lintel]

Yeah, I would not be surprised. I had a similar worry with the Serene Squall on the last Battle Pass. I realized that the Battle Pass "helping you unlock" a ship is meant to provide bps not provide a guaranteed unlock.

[ocean crypt]

how many new dailies should there be , both without the excelsior and with the excelsior, some of my other alliance members have 3 , whereas with the new ship i only have 2

[glad epoch]

Yeah, noticed that. With this pass, if you get the premium and assuming that the BP redemption limit is daily, then a max of 80 BP's are up for grabs for the Vidar plus 10 from the code. So you still end up 10 short. Nothing a CC event can't address, but not a guaranteed unlock

[near sapphire]

On the Resonance PvP event, how are we supposed to do the alternate PvE route, when there are no hostiles in Idola? I've tried doing PvE in other systems, it doesn't count.

[civic sphinx]

Some guys on my server did. I have a t1 ven and its doing worse then t12 ent. But for me its impossible to do the dailies still

[buoyant kraken]

Lucky you, for me its goal of total 12,5m kills 😂😂

[strong lintel]

It looks like there is no PVE scoring because it's bugged. Well not bugged. Just poorly designed.

[cerulean fractal]

Is there supposed to be a separate daily goal unlocked after building the excelsior? If so I'm not seeing it

[timid tundra]

For an ops 39 talios trials PVP SMS It says PvE in Idola, there's no hostiles in that system to attack

[jolly path]

Shouldn't there be an individual event listed, only see the AMS.

(Ops 20-50)

[true radish]

<@&509690795536941056> @full swan @near saddle Are we going to get any acknowledgement about gorn surgical scoring issues and that it's being worked?

[molten marlin]

it should be working now

[true radish]

Thanks, working now! Little disheartening not seeing any communication or acknowledgement from scopely about it for hours though.

But boy, do they work quick when a $$ pack is broken! 🤑 Pushed that right out into game news section.

[ocean crypt]

what sort of comp chest was that, not a single ship part in it , just resources , just another deceivement

[strong lintel]

Now that the Ops 51+ problems are being dealt with, are we going to see any action on the Alliance Syncopation Events for those of us in the Ops 20-50 range?

[ocean crypt]

how are we supposed to get the elite credits for the excelsior chest in refinery, no credits anywhere to be found anywhere, not even an event to gain them, so since can't open this chest , can't get ship parts to upgrade the ship or get research credits to do research, what is missing and how are you going to address these issues and fix the problems, your certainly not getting anymore cash, already been stolen from so far with this new ship

[frank basin]

5 hostiles every 2 min is this a bug or Scopely think we planned to play all night to complete the event pls ?

[static onyx]

<@&509691205798592532>

• f2p track: 24x
• elite track: 56x
• turn in limit 10x 🐋

[steady hearth]

No enemies in Idola for Talios PvE

[junior pond]

Stop putting PVE and PVP points in the same system.

[south crag]

Mathing this out, it doesn't look possible to get to the 7th milestone this week because the daily task for having the Excelsior is not working, and even if it starts at reset tonight, I'll end up 75 points short of milestone 7 which you're supposed to be able to get to when you own the excelsior.

[maiden condor]

<@&509690795536941056> Can we get clear information somewhere, maybe in your official announcements, or elsewhere in the game, now and in the future, when you provide holodeck pattern buffers, what are they supposed to be spent on?! Otherwise, how are we to figure out which of the many missions that use the same currency are missions for the current arc?! They aren't even named like the current arc, if the name was "V'ger-something", I'd at least have an idea!

In the past, it was the same problem, I spent it on the wrong ones, contacted support, and was refunded "only once, don't do it again" style!!!

For example, I have the following ones I could spend on, and I have no idea on which!

[elder warren]

Wrong rewards. Schematic for charged Nanoprobes but only paying out active Nanoprobes

[molten marlin]

what ops

[elder warren]

39

[molten marlin]

diodes are used for arc missions, pattern buffers are used for the regular holodeck missions

[maiden condor]

1. I have no missions for diodes.
2. I have zero diodes.
3. Why have I received 6000 pattern buffers?...

[molten marlin]

the arc mission is 51+

[iron fossil]

I THINK it's the 6 missions with the same image inside the Borg tab. That's based on gettng 6,000 pattern buffers, having 6 missions that cost 1,000 each, and the Borg theme of the event. But you're right-it would be great if Scopely would explicitly list the missions in the release notes and/or schedue.

[maiden condor]

So lvl 50 and below received pattern buffers to just spend on whatever they like?... I'd like to make sure that it is so, and not that something will be added e.g. tomorrow?

[molten marlin]

and they added new holodeck missions to the borg section, probably why they gave out buffers

[maiden condor]

In my Borg tab, I have 9 missions for a total of 10300 😄
EDIT: ah you mean the first 6 that have Locutus image.

[iron fossil]

yep-those missions total 6,000 pattern buffers

[maiden condor]

Cheers, makes sense, but I'd still like an official communication on this, at least a reply from <@&509690795536941056> confirming this, so I can tell dozens of players from my alliance that are asking...

[iron fossil]

agreed. Scopely is not great at communication

[junior pond]

The holodeck is about recycled past missions. These are all missions that players coming into the game late would never have seen because they were arc missions years ago. So it's right in line with all the other recycled content for these recent arcs for anyone not 51+

[maiden condor]

That's an understatement of the decade 😉 But cheers mate for your help!

[stoic linden]

The final mission requires excelsior to complete which is not doable within 19 days free to play unless we get a serious influx of blueprints.

[velvet hare]

Please fix this, obviously can't complete this for free to play before the event ends
<@&509690795536941056>

[stoic linden]

I literally just wrote that

[maiden condor]

That's by design obviously. Trying to get people to buy stuff or leave them hanging unable to complete things. That's how the game is built.

[stoic linden]

In some ways you are right. But that's heroic events of which this one is not. If it was labeled as such I would be less concerned

[pseudo stump]

Ops 40 and I have the Vidar Tallios already. The Talios Trials PvP event awarded me 3 Revenant data cores, but i'm not able to use them. In the Scematics section in the event store the only turn in I have uses Vidar talios data cores. I would love to be able to get some Revenant prints, please add that as an option in the store. Thanks.

[full marsh]

Arc missions are always completable f2p. In the past they keep shoehorning in paid prereqs into them and then having to award extra points or auto complete for players upon pitchfork threats. It's annoying

[tiny hedge]

there is no alliance synocaption event for ops 20-50 like scopely mentioned there would be for the AMS

[molten marlin]

The events will occur later in the week

[ashen notch]

The missions were made available for everyone, so the buffers should've been issued to everyone. Id much prefer to have my holodeck empty like it was.

[tacit zephyr]

The new daily events are unattainable if you don't have the new ship. Just what you'd expect from Scopely.

[verbal lion]

@full swan ummm level 51 with G3 rewards??

[tiny hedge]

oh okay thanks for clarifying.

is there a limit on sarris pulls? i pulled the Sarris Invasion Exchange with Demarco picture on it like four times earlier and it disappeared,

[molten marlin]

No limit, but if you don't have the currency you won't see the box

once you gain more it will reappear

[tiny hedge]

oh okay that explains it thanks!

[proven juniper]

While I appreciate that hostile kills score. 4m+ kills might be a bit of overkill, plus I’ve already maxed my Talios for my level so I guess this is just unobtainable.

[molten marlin]

will raise it

[proven juniper]

Thank you

[molten marlin]

Was told it won't be changing

[proven juniper]

Thanks for checking. Guess I’ll just ignore that event then.

[worn galleon]

we all need to stop buying until they address the current problems and slow them introducing the new ones. never happen, but it's the only metric that will cause them to change

[proven juniper]

Easy enough for me since I haven’t spent money on the game. I’ve considered it but it seems like a poor investment since these events in particular punish me for having played and invested in ships before the event.

[icy mural]

this games a money pit that is designed to hurt the higher spenders to get more money. And they refuse to fix what has been begged for years.

[lime cove]

Am I missing something? I don't see any events marked with this?

[warm garnet]

#💬-events-feedback message apparently they are in the future.

[lime cove]

Thank you 🙂

[quartz sigil]

So doing Iso damage for the event doesn't seem to be scoring 😕 lvl 61 killing lvl 61 hostiles doing billion point iso crits and not getting any score. Any ideas anyone

[fast sonnet]

Try a different system. Apparently some of the systems aren't seeing the appropriate hostile

[ashen notch]

The fact that they don't see the problem with this is one more (of several this arc) example showing how not sorry they actually are for the state of the game. They have no one to blame but themselves. Expecting player to kill 9 million hostiles if they have the ship maxed is an outright farce.

[idle parcel]

These new dailies are 💩. The gorn ones were easy for me if you have certain tech. A guy my level didn't have any tech and couldn't kill one his level. Now, I'm in that situation killing these silents. I've spent nearly an hour dying, as have others, trying to figure out how not to die. I'm done wasting time on that.

[simple helm]

I’m confused on the silent daily, I get 1 point per hostile, I stripped all my defenses besides 1 apex barrier officer. Do I need to kill 100 of these things for a daily? Or I think I’m likely missing something

[boreal coyote]

new silent defensive daily is borked!

[simple helm]

<@&509690795536941056> the silent daily is not scaled properly. It’s less than 1 point punching up 3 levels in the low 50s with no mitigation and just apex barrier officers. The 40m per point isn’t scaled correctly. That’s 4 bil mitigated by apex barrier with level 53-56 hostiles.

[fluid lotus]

Zero hostiles in the system because the spawn rate is terrible

[humble sleet]

<@&509690795536941056>
Scoring seems to be broken for the 2nd Vger task (0/100) involving Apex Barrier mitigation.

At OP’s 53 it’s asking for 40m dmg to be mitigated by Apex Barrier and punching way way up to lvl 60 opponents I’m mitigating a max of 5m’ish per hit with [C] OG Pike, Nesmith and Annorax on the bridge, and that’s on crits bs my ship in the 2 Trillion range.

Multiples others of various OP’s from high 50’s to high 60’s seeing the same

[boreal coyote]

56-59 as well. tried 4 crews. 3 ships. 1 point each. I'm not killing 100

[fluid lotus]

I needed to kill 92 level 69 Silents for the Apex mitigation daily. Yeah nope. Not doing that again in a few days time when it comes around again

[simple helm]

Using p/m/a and a snw officer below and taking it 100 rounds gave me 5 points a hostile but that gimmick would only work well low 50s I’d imagine

[vivid delta]

<@&509690795536941056> what is the point in limiting the revenant schematic BPs to 10 when you can earn more than 10 and have nowhere else to spend them?

[cinder ermine]

Grats on another arc so poorly tuned, poorly tested, and with such blah rewards that the best option for the majority of players is to completely ignore it again. 👍. It's a complete mystery why people are quitting this game at such a higher rate than it's getting and retaining new players.

[nimble gust]

Yep, already done with this arc it's so frustrating. Wake me when it is over.

[frank osprey]

I can't wait for them to reduce to like 450M to be mitigated through apex barrier and them thinking they're helping/solving the issue or say it should have been 450M from the start.

[idle parcel]

Yeah, I've been grinding for about an hour and only have 30/100. I figured at the rate I'm going, I'll need 420 more reds. Nope. They are insane. QOL. 🙄

[nimble gust]

I just lvled my ops Monday to new tier of stuff...they literally sent me to a system I don't have the warp range for except on my NX-01

[frank osprey]

lol. Needed 612 WoK Augment Exiles in wok pt 1.
And they keep doing it. Meta that has you kill 20-30 Feds one day, 20-30 Klingon another day, 20-30 Roms another day then somewhere between 200 and 300 Augment Exiles because they can't figure out how to change the scoring.

[idle parcel]

Yep. I think I did that Wok one once. Yes. Grind grind grind grind, but, we hear you, qol. We had a 67 quit today because it's too much. A lot of high level people are quitting.

[boreal coyote]

I give up on this new daily. 100 points is too much. I can’t flay any farther to hit up any higher. How are mid 60s finishing with 1-2 hostiles and 50’s need to hit 100 <@&509690795536941056> fix it before Saturday and this comes back. Also send a comp chest for the daily.

[nimble gust]

And the was the last arc I completely ignored, and still ignore that area

[small stirrup]

This is a problem. This is part of the problem. I have to kill a hundred of these ships to complete the daily goal. That is mind-blowingly ridiculous. The other problem is that the ships are not respawning fast enough for enough people to get it done. We're not even 24 hours into this and I'm already getting migraines.

I'm giving it 5 days, and if things haven't even been adjusted, I'm setting a 30-day shield and walking away from the game. And I'll take that 30 days to determine if I even want to come back.

[meager sigil]

Scopely!! This is a joke, with VGER Hostile. Are you programming with students again? Or is there some new drug you've been smoking? Give us some too! Now the silent enemy is even harder. Something is wrong with you guys! Just give it up. It's been getting worse and worse for years. This doesn't make much sense! 🤬

[mild path]

More accounts will leave, if one cant even do dailies whats the point of playing?

[austere bay]

Funny, the silents are much much easier for me. Maybe you got the wrong crew?

[rugged oriole]

Anyone who actually has a job and uses their free time for anything except STFC is drowning. And then you introduce another overly-complex, time-consuming PtP loop.

It’s not even as if you are doing a one-in-one-out system. You just keep adding more.

I’m at peace with ignoring this loop, as I simply do not have the time. This should be fun. Instead, this is a chore. And one which doesn’t compete with real life joys and pleasures.

[chrome hinge]

Please Scopely test the new events, new arcs before releasing them. Vger hostiles and vger dailies are not obtainable. Make sure ships can reach the destination, if you want us to test your new arcs and events for you please specify. Although players are used to these issues. My ships are 6 times the power of the hostiles , the first round I was able to score ,but not kill . This Apex barrier 7 attacks no kills with gaining 1 point. . Some feedback. Needs more work ..

That’s at ops level 65

[naive viper]

These new dailies are ridiculously hard at ops level. I am new to ops66 and only have a t1 titan. There is no way i can kill these things. Not spending hours and sigma speedups constantly dying for maybe a few mitigation points of whatever flavour. Not going to spend on the new ship either.

[chrome hinge]

I have all support ships, but they don’t reach ops 65 , time to reach destination is 6 min with buffs, so support ships time runs out on some. Needs some testing before releasing or we can test for you scopely just make it worthwhile for us please.

[naive viper]

This happened before when testing was done with a maxed version of the new ship. Followed by Mr Tiger claiming it was the players fault we werent good enough.

[cerulean holly]

<@&509690795536941056> the apex daily barrier (silent defensive) needs tuning, at OPS57 I need to mitigate 205m dmg for 1 point but not even the 59s are doing enough dmg to make a dent before they die (they net me 2 points a kill with annorax and garret below). either lower the amount per point, or increase the dmg the hostiles do.

[naive viper]

Ops66 needs 4b for 1 pt. Not even going to bother at this stage.

[cerulean holly]

yikes.

[hollow lichen]

becomes 5B for ops67 , lovely jobly and grindy grindy just to get it done. even with annorax and garett below it seems to force me to kill in the 67 system to count. Which means with around 2 points per kill its going to take a while...

A long time even as the spawn rate of these things is beyond trash

[timber ice]

Are lower levels (20-50) able to do anything for the Alliance Syncopation AMS yet? It says complete Alliance Snycopation Event but I'm not seeing any event with that AS tag

[honest gust]

9B for ops 69

[plush axle]

<@&509690795536941056>
This needs to be adjusted. I have killed 20 Silent hostiles in Riolao and only scored 6 points. Want to make this a grind-heavy arc again?

[meager sigil]

What level are you? I'm level 68. I don't stand a chance. I've tried almost all of the Crews! No chance. And what's also important is which ship and power?

[plush axle]

Try: (c) Annorax/Nesmith for Apex Barrier. Seska and Tripp Tucker on bridge. Below regular hostile crew. You could try Rachel Garrett for extra apex barrier since they are battleship hostiles.

[austere bay]

Ops 70 killing lv 70s. 28 B power krencha. Only tried one crew for the silents so far. Janeway doctor trip tucker, hullbreach tech, harry kim, wok joakim, pic hugh, chapel below. Basically same crew as yesterday but switching anorax for trip

[meager sigil]

A completely different league
! But thx.

[austere bay]

Well yeh different levels but if i say they are easier than the gorn yesterday (like by a factor of 15x per hull without buffs) its still a valid comparison.

[cinder ermine]

Every single player that quits the game creates a "total time played per month" vacuum that then has to be filled by everyone else to keep the quarterly reports looking less like a disaster. And man is it becoming clear that that is the primary driver of event design. Does anyone really honestly believe people are playing this game 4 to 8 hours a day everyday doing the exact same events and dailies over and over with different names? If you want that kind of playtime, you have to make it at least occasionally fun and/or rewarding, not just exhausting. It shouldn't take multiple hours a day everyday just to keep up the bare minimum.

[meager sigil]

Honestly, this is unplayable. If everything has to be maxed out, and I need different buffs for a daily task to be able to do it... Then the game becomes uninteresting from this point on, and for me, it has lost what little gaming experience it had left.

[plush axle]

Killed plenty with this bridge.

[meager sigil]

I'll try it, thanks.

[iron pivot]

There have been some pretty poorly designed arcs in the past but this one really takes the biscuit.

[austere bay]

Well people who rushed ops but didnt keep their research/ships up with ops because the game got too easy and forgiving they hit a brick wall. I recall people struggeling with a lot of stuff back when it was added.

[meager sigil]

I didn't rush the OPS development, but there was a year-long break in the game... And now it looks like the story will be similar, only maybe there won't be a break, but an ending! And the situation is not much easier for lower-level players either...

At the end of the day, nothing will change if Scopely is unable to implement innovations that keep the game playable and enjoyable without players spending thousands of euros every month. This means that players who spend a lot of money will end up on 2-3 servers. I can only congratulate them on this.

[stone glade]

There must be a calculation error for at least OPS 66 players.
Even with 39 rounds in a battle ... how to reach 400B APEX mitigation?

[sharp iris]

I managed to get 9 points per kill by using Pelia below decks to boost the incoming damage so I could mitigate enough, try switching her for one of the lower deck slots and get Annorax and Garret on your ship

[chrome void]

how is someone supposed to do this when the hostile doesn't even do enough damage for the apex barrier to mitigate?

[tiny mirage]

How can it be that G6 players are being punished like this in the new arc? Today's silent enemies at level 66 are impossible to beat, even with amplifiers and different crews. Daily missions are no longer available, so none of this makes any sense... The game suffers not only from crashes and lag, but also from unsolvable daily missions... Unfortunately, it's just rubbish.

[stuck drum]

10000%. I get the whales are now clearly needed to support dev and the daft infra costs but when arcs are overly complicated, badly launched, frequently broken there is just no real point playing (which before folks moan, I already barely do as too much). Chuck in lag, the double digits of abandoned features (gorn/exclipse/freebooters/borg probes/who knows how many more), UI glitches (stuck indicates), horid UI transistions on claim the list of "broken/dead" things is HUGE.

[stuck drum]

Yup. The daily bingo bash on the new hostiles I simply don't have time for a decreasingly engaged and active player (ops 65).

[junior pond]

This arc has already pushed out one of our senior players, so good job scopley since I guess that seems that the goal is to push more players out of the game now.

[smoky rose]

who decided that the Excelsior wouldn't have the warp range to reach Ops-level appropriate systems when warp research has hit Ops-locked requirement levels?

[shadow trellis]

About sums it up

"Lack of playtesting"

[smoky rose]

even when "supporting the game" by spending, we get punished

[languid marlin]

Ship and crew? I just tried, died, and only got 2 points after 64 rounds of combat

[sharp iris]

Ent- D hitting Lvl 61, Annorax (c), Sudar and Seska. Below Deck, SNW Pelia, PIC Hugh, Kim, BLT, Nelix, Garret, WOK Carol @languid marlin

its painful, but as I said I was getting 9points per hit, went through 3 hulls, rather than getting 1 point per hit, I wouldn't normally put Peila in as it gives more benefit to the silent hostile, but since they dont give out the damage needed the only way to get the rounds to go longer was give them more apex barrier.

[cunning chasm]

Try it on 68 or 69 or early 70 before you get new ship and get it to like 50b power. Gorns were bad yesterday, but todays Silent are way worse. Kill one is impossible, getting 100 points from apex nearly impossible unless you are pretty much maxed on everything. Using maxed Chrono deflector, maxed Suder, T4 Anorax, T2 Garret I get 1 point per ship hull, 2 with ceritos buff and 3 with titan max on top of that -> impossible to complete.

[tropic sigil]

If a daily requires 50-75 kills in a system, please make the system spawn more hostiles faster. I was alone and emptied the system at 73% complete. What if 3-10 players were trying at the same time?

[hexed hawk]

So much wrong here. If a daily requires 50-75 kills for 10 points, please reevaluate your method Scopely

[modest fulcrum]

Honestly I’m just baffled that they gave the hostiles apex shred on the day the daily is “mitigate damage with apex barrier”. Like, what the heck do you want from us

This doesn’t give an amount but it must be HUGE. My pve apex barrier should be mitigating more than half of the hostiles damage between Nesmith, Annorax and Garrett, but it’s doing almost nothing <@&509690795536941056>

[languid marlin]

Yeah... the 66's hit way harder. I can kill or i can mitigate. Not both.

[modest fulcrum]

Like... Was it a genuine accident that the hostiles have a huge amount of Apex Shred on the same day we're supposed to mitigate damage with Apex Barrier? Because that's just full on never going to work, no matter what crews we use. That's the crux of everyone's problem.

[languid marlin]

Lol, I can get 8 points per death... I dont kill a blessed hostile, but I can at least now get 8 points of apex mitigation.....

[agile latch]

Definitely more difficult than yesterday's Gorn. But it is manageable. Ops69 here, so same ships as you (probably) and I had to do 900B. With a better crew I could get 60B / hull with repair efficiency below deck. Not a good solution, but worked.

[covert wadi]

Get 1 poit per hostile means 100 hits. 100 hits for that payout is terrible. Way too much time for not enough reward.

[jolly condor]

The lag, is real, not interested in this arc, making a red you can't kill when you have it at 3 times the power regardless of special crew, nope another sarris evenr

[icy mural]

The 66 probably will. Because that’s the ops to get g6 rare. And upgrade cube

[unreal barn]

with no way to actually source g6 rare and the ships unable to reach the lvl 66 hostiles......grooovy

[small rover]

Are we gonna get directives for this event? What if someone's spent them all during a previous RotMC?

[inner vale]

To the Scopley Test crew: Have you ever really tested the events fully to determine VIABILITY and RELEVANCE of the event against stated objectives? This is supposed to be a game and not an 8 hour job. I am one of your whales that has cutback significantly because I do not see your testing department using common sense and realism in ensuring events are doable at the various Ops level. As you can see by the comments people are doing the math and it is not adding up to a game but rather a job to complete these. I was told a player experience person would contact me and it never happened on a ticket. So for now my CC is closed to the game until such time I can have a conversation with a player experience rep.

[old veldt]

Remember that heartfelt post you made about fixing things before adding new content? Especially the LAG? Nice job, really. Unbearable.

[small rover]

Okay, guess I'll get 2 directives from a gift. For 2 UC Borgmadas... For an event that needs a ton of that to complete

[meager moss]

The lag is making the game unplayable

[fresh stump]

I cannot remember the last time, if ever, we had a smooth arc launch. It’s day 2 with continued lag and game resets and you expect people to shell out $100 for a ship. Please send out another manager oops letter and more oops currency, that will fix it.

[strong lintel]

The fact that Resonance is supposed to help people unlock the Talios for Ops 35-41 seems to elude the people who came up with Break the Formations. I've literally never done a Borg Solo Armada because my Vi'dar is tier 4. This feels insanely botched.

[spice summit]

rebranded unity event with 200 points to complete if you cant contribute the 500m~ per contribute or dont have the directives? trying to push lower ops up or push out of the game

[stable bronze]

the required amount of borg armads to finish the Resonance: break the formation sms is way too much.. we get 1k total if we call a uncommon.. and you gave us 2 directives so we get 2k once we do 2.. we can only hold 3 other people (4 if we are 30) so lets say we can hold 4 other people..

that means we get 2k the other 4 get 1,200.. you go in the ones the 4 other call that is 1,200 * 4 = 4,800 points + the 2,000 from you calling.. that is 6,800 and we need 15,000 to finish

[pseudo compass]

Why the frigging flogger are wave defence today's vger task? Seriously? What's next? Arena wins?

[drowsy inlet]

what is a Borg type 3 solo armada?

[candid crow]

The Resonance event is very poorly balanced, at least for level 26. It's a single-level mission to kill Borg, and only I managed to score points in an entire day. No one else is on the leaderboard, just me, which shows it's completely unbalanced. And today, they add one where you have to spend directives on Borg fleets and give us two? When we don't even have the ships to build those kinds of fleets? Points for using the Vidar? We could be getting Blueprints to get the Vidar in this very event. Completely disappointed.

I have un evemt shop a chest for a redeem Code, where is my redeem code? Why i see that if not hay the level?

[remote birch]

i need 120 k

[strong lintel]

You need to use RESONANCE in the redeem code page. You get the token for the shop chest.

[strong lintel]

It's not any more balanced at 36. This whole thing feels less like fun and more like a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

[remote birch]

at 45 u need 120k and get 10k for starting and 7.5k for a win

[untold nexus]

Daily Events - What genuis thought this was a good time to mess around with it, this is a nightmare

[strong lintel]

At 36 it's 150k as the goal for solo armadas with 5k for start and 2.5k for the win. I can't beat the solo armadas. That means starting 30 of these armadas. They gave me enough directives to start and lose 1 of these. Totally awful.

[remote birch]

yeah completly intelligent these guys

[strong lintel]

It just feels like everyone below 51 got a really awful deal. They had to change the Talios PVP event yesterday afternoon because it was broken. I just want to know if we are supposed to be able to do these monthly events or if they are stretch goals doable by a select group of people. I'm used to events that are not achievable. I just wish they would stop pretending like these are supposed to be helping us.

[placid lintel]

I also used the talios for the extra 5000 points which they didn't reward. I beat 10 solos and should have an extra 50000 points but nothing 🤬

[remote birch]

this monthly event and the rewards are garbage

[pliant palm]

here is my feedback on this arc/event ... it sucks .... would of been nice if you just worked on the bugs over this as the game is almost unplayable

[silver briar]

Hey your mitigation daily is a lie. It says go to 52-57. I kill 54s with plenty of apex barrier and nothing is scoring. Fix your crap. We are sick of it.

[stable bronze]

little note: the $ store has directives.. so it seems like scopely wants us to spend $ to finish this

[cold sandal]

I'm sure they've had hired a ghostwriter back then to create the post. They themselves wouldn't even have known, how to….😂

[amber grove]

This is the worst arc, there basically no events and only weekly Well, must be a break

[wild furnace]

If these new dailies are going to be this time and cost expensive, they gotta give something more than 2 bp's for a ship.

[wild pelican]

Scopely Greed. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the If We Don't Notice, They'll Stop Complaining.....

It's continuing mission, to suck the fun out of the game. To bodly sell hundred dollar packs where no-one has sold before....

[shell vortex]

The apex barrier daily things is not scoring correctly. I got millions of apex barrier and it says 691 million for 1 point. I'm a lvl 60 killing 62+. I'm not gonna kill 400 hostile for a dumb daily that you guys can't do basic math. Also it takes minutes to get there....too long. It's a daily, I should not have to kill more than 10 hostiles ever. Also the lag is unforgivable.

[potent lake]

Any one with crew suggestions for lvl 64 vger silent hostiles? My strongest ship is t5 negh var

[oblique ore]

Thos hostiles are a joke again. They are insane hard. Can kill one in my lvl with a 6,5b ship that is more than 10 times stronger than the hostile. If you tryto scare away more people then it works. Why we have again and again such insane arcs. Most People won't buy packages for hundeds of Euros independent what you doy. If they do not longer enjoy the game, the leave and don't pay...I totally understand, you must earn money with this game and i am happy to pay for something i play every day. But i must be a fair amount. I can buy a full price game for about 50 Euros. So the money you want for items in a total buggy Mobile game is ridiculous 😡

[tawny falcon]

2 billion damage per point to this daily at ops 63, so I need to deflect 200 billion with my apex barrier? This is a waste of time.

[austere mortar]

words cannot express how upset i am with the new dailies. THEY ARE DAILIES!!! That means, pump them out as fast as possible. Not use 100 hulls to finish one daily task. Are you people insane or just sadistic? Also, daily tasks that change daily?!? Again, insane? Events change daily, dailies are routine tasks. it’s been that way since the beginning!

[austere mortar]

and while i am ranting, if we are doing apex barrier etc, the least you could do is add those aspects to the officer selection filter!!

[stable bronze]

update on this..i just did one with vidar (someone else called it).. got only 400 points.. so it's 800 if call and defeat and 400 for others..
so it's 400 *8 = 3,200 + 1,600 (from what you call) so 4,800 points out of 15,000

this is Absolut 💩

PS. Not sure if it's a bug that you get 400 not 600 for using a vidar for uncommons

[strong lintel]

It definitely is. I haven't seen any comment on this from the mods. As far as I can tell they are too busy trying to bail out the Ops 51+ to actually care about how badly they messed up on Resonance.

[austere mortar]

i don’t think they really care about 51+ either tbh

[steady tiger]

Is it possible that players below level 51 don't count in the meta?

[strong lintel]

I mean you are not wrong. It almost feels like a whole lot of people are still out on vacation. The effort they are putting into this definitely not even. Level 51+ whales are getting 60% of the effort, Level 51+ f2p probably about 30%, and that last 10% for 20-50.

[silver briar]

They’ve abandoned all content below 50 the last two arcs. It’ll be below 60 soon enough. They’re only catering to the 70+ whales and even then because they’re so bad at their own game they’re only making it worse.

[ocean crypt]

regarding comp for mission that actually is already in an early v'ger space, there was only 1 mission in holodeck before it not 2

[candid crow]

I try, not work

[candid crow]

Try, not work

[novel totem]

While yesterday's Challenge event (iso dmg mitigation was fine) today's Apex Barrier event seems to be misaligned. Against 71 hostiles I can only achieve 6 pts per fight. That already takes into account prolonging the fight to 86 rounds with SNW pike:

[idle parcel]

Yep. Lag upon lag, and more and more people quitting the game because of how completely deaf Scopely is to what we say.

[idle parcel]

I had the exact, same problem at 67, but running an Outpost that gives extra Apex Barrier helped make the daily completable. But, we shouldn't have to struggle just to complete a daily. I wasted 1.5 hrs on that, trying different crews and all.

[fierce steeple]

10 waves in single 24 hour SMS that is not heroic is a bit strong. That's several hours for one events on a work night.

[shadow trellis]

That’s two lvl50 solos

[unreal barn]

Spent hours last night getting crew etc right - again level 66 - just to be presented with the same today - no juice left to swop ft etc..... plus at the start I couldnt even get the g6 commons into lvl 66... they called this a path finding issue when it really was a collossal mistake... t6 minerva has 1315 warp but can warp to the lvl 66's now that require 1500 warp - well done againn scopely , well done

[molten marlin]

or a single group wave

[fierce steeple]

I see, waves of waves, not complete waves

[strong lintel]

Any plans to address how people can't score in the Borg Armada event or is that working as intended?

[naive rain]

Hey Scopley . Stop the $$$$
Drain and fix what is broken. Take a month off and fix all the things that are broke and we keep complaining about... your trying to do too many things and this is supposed to be a relaxing game not another full time job at doing too many loops and events.... JUST STOP!!!!!!!!

[shadow trellis]

And 5 waves in the solo 50 takes a couple minutes

[pseudo compass]

Can you do solo armadas for waves?

Oh, solo waves

I hate them even more than regular waves

[candid crow]

Now works!!

[pseudo compass]

Waves are arcade games that I really don't like

[idle parcel]

Wow, hours. I hate how much time I spend on the game because it's either things like that, or it takes sometimes almost an hour to open all my chests because they gave us crumbs with the QOL bulk refinery. There should be bulk in factions too and then one big button to collect it all at the same time.

[novel totem]

the outpost a way to boost your Barrier, but with annorax and agony booth, the 1500 from outpost don't seem so much

[ashen notch]

People complain about events with this wording every time they come up. You dont need to complete 10 whole waves, you need to complete 10 rounds of the waves, so 2 complete solo waves or 1 complete group wave.

<@&509690795536941056>, maybe the wording of these events needs to be changed since this confusion pops up every time?

[nocturne crest]

Great, have an event where you have to beat borg armadas but make the directives nearly impossible to get, worse my alliance is mostly stro ger and on a different event

[idle parcel]

The whole event was frustrating and confusing, but running an Outpost did help bring down the numbers I needed to kill by a lot. Just reporting what happened with me. I can't explain how or why it worked. 😂

[cedar moss]

I'm done banging my head against the new dailies. Having thrown about 30 hulls at the ops 69 task and I'm still less than 50% complete.

About 20 different crews, ceritos/titan buffs to prolong the fights as long as possible, and my best attempt was 4% progress in a 100 round fight punching up vs a 70 (but my ship was wrecked to the point that a second kill wasn't happening).

Between the content being overtuned and the entire feature being a giant cashgrab, way to dissuade people from participating in this content for the rest of the arc.

[uneven jolt]

This Borg Vidar event is a nice event, But as a ops 28 i cant source this dirrective as they are normaly gifted to us during the Borg event. So if you continue runnig this event, then we need more directive or sourcing of dir.

[stiff meadow]

Write your events better. You need to have tie breakers. If not then ties should get the same rewards.

[strong anchor]

There’s no getting around the fact that at level 67 you’re averaging at best one point per hostile, which means this daily challenge requires killing over 100 hostiles

which is utterly ridiculous for a daily grind

[stiff meadow]

I'm a 60 killing 64s no problem.?

[fluid gust]

i managed to get it up to 6 points per fight, but then i can't win the fight so it's repair and warp back after every fight.

[neon elk]

😮‍💨 no, that should say "at 67 I(!!) am averaging at best 1 point per hostile".
Yet another occasion where 1 person potentially struggles for a variety of reasons and states that everyone is struggling.

[fluid gust]

can you share how well you're doing with these then?

[austere mortar]

that’s still miles ahead of my 1 - 2

[strong anchor]

148 kills to score this one daily. I did it only for the sms meta but I’m not doing this again

And no I’m not buying your new ship. You can’t even keep the servers running smoothly, which would seem to be a minimum for such a high spend pay-to-play phone game

[neon elk]

I'm not 67 myself so it doesn't track to the Ro post but I'm getting 6-7 points per kill personally (average about 15 kills for the daily......which is roughly the same needed for other dailies)
After speaking to an ops 66 in my alliance though they have said they are killing around 20 per so it tracks there.

[austere mortar]

talk to specifically 67s. there seems to be a major jump from the 66s to 67s. this is made worse depending on the levels of joachim and maybe icheb. Seems like 67s are struggling more than 66s.

[strong anchor]

I’m so glad you’re happy with yourself.
I found a crew where I could kill about 25-30 per hull but it doesn’t score much on apex barrier damage reduction.
In general I have no trouble with grinding events. My cube is 16B and the researches officers tech etc are in pretty good shape. But this scoring on this metric is an order of magnitude worse than the champion daily for vger borg yesterday

[neon elk]

Quite possible, I'm just very skeptical given how many times people complain about stuff that can be solved by tweaking crews, working on artifacts etc. And specifically when people use their own experience and plaster that to everyone of their ops and assume everyone is struggling when it is a lot of the time an individual issue. (And I'll put the reminder here at the end, no none of this is to shame a specific person, more a generalised statement so if someone feels targeted by it please don't)

[neon elk]

As said previously, this is MY scenario, but I'm happy to post the crew for people to test, tweak etc and so on. Hopefully it helps.

This on my t7 Vor'cha at ops 53 hitting lvl 58 hostiles and earning 6-7 points each time. I could use a smaller ship and cause the fight to go more rounds which would result in more dmg to be sponged by apex barrier, meaning more points per kill but it's faffing around that I to be honest just cba with. 15 kills is fine with me.

Bd officers are maxed but the bridge ones are all t2 or t3.....so this could be better still.

[austere mortar]

i see you generalizing about “complainers” and there are instances where it’s true. however it seems (and i have no proof) that certain ops levels are hurting more than others. 67 seems to be one. Aside from that, the apex barrier daily specifically needs joachim at a high(er) level. and possibly khan FC. (Honestly, it would have been a good day to sell joachim packs 😜)

Still, this is a daily and dailies shouldn’t be pain filled. I feel strongly that punching down should be permitted as long as the grind is increased. (like franklin A was ) If it was an event, i could see it more.

Lastly, those that bought excel should see that benefit. Instead, at least out of the gate, excel is virtually useless aside from the daily to use its special ability.

[limpid nimbus]

Todays silent defensive is outright crazy and proofs the one who added this event is either insane, sadistic or never played the game. I get a single point per hit, every hit kills me and only 2 ships are able to reach the 65er system i have to die in...my revenant needs 3:30 and my relativity 4:50...i know scopely math is far from math, but come on, 100 times ~4 minutes fly time are 6 hours only flying around to get killed...and even with naga below it costs a few T to repair the ships.

[neon elk]

And I agree with that assumption about ops difficulties. My original post was simply about the anecdotal evidence being used to describe everyone's situation. On the excelsior though, that has a separate daily attached to it so I don't necessarily agree with it being an easy go to to skip the others.
To use another ship as an example, imagine if this had been released during the NSEA arc. The NSEA would have it's own challenge to tackle the omega hostiles but until it's tiered up a bit, you'd still run your fkr's for regular MU hostile challenges.

[austere mortar]

your forgetting this is all in “excel” space and that excel buffs deployed ships. That buff should help with those dailies. so comparing it with cerritos would be more fair. Anyway, my two cents for all it’s worth.

[neon elk]

Let's be fair, the excelsior is basically the love child of the voyager and the titan-a 😆

[half flare]

A META that requires me as an ops 66 with a 7.31B hull ship from my level appropriately tiered (t7) to mitigate 400B damage with apex when those officers are insanely hard to source (who even has Mirror Uhura, come on) is absurd and not fun.

[idle parcel]

Yep. We already had one guy, another 67, just up and quit the game because of these dailies, after he was frustrated after the first ones.

[leaden spoke]

Cmon Scopely, who calculated this Daily Event with Apex Barrier? I get 1pt per enemy even with Annorax, Nesmith Bridge and Rachel Garrett BD, so i have to kill 100 of these new enemies with repairing my ship 100 times? Ridiculous again and again and again....

[sour sapphire]

Agree with what’s being said by many, silent defensive event is very very bad.

Ops 70, I can handle the hostiles fine, but it took an insane amount of time to complete that event. It’s being talked about in my alliance and across alliances on my server. Players are definitely opting out bc they don’t have the ridiculous amount of time needed to complete this one “daily”. Seems to be a scaling issue and much worse for certain levels? It is a real problem.

[warm swallow]

Just 400 ship to kill for this Daily as an OPS65 Player Shooting 65er hostiles 😂

[toxic wraith]

Change vger silents apex barrier damage mitigated amount per PT with vger gorn isodamge per PT requirement.
Cos apex barrier mitigated after normal mitigation and iso Def and is reduced by apex shred(vger silent ability).
Whereas damage per PT on vger gorn can be completed in 1 shot as iso damage is primary.
Vger gorn have no iso Def
IE. For ops 69.
Vger gorn iso damage 1b per point.
Vger silents requires mitigate with apex barrier of 9b per 1pt.

[neat rampart]

Agree to all the above silent apex event is a def not going to do challenge - well done scopley getting more and more people ready to quit the game

[raw adder]

It took me around 25-30 hostiles at ops 67 but I do agree that it should be reworked, took me two trips with relativity, cube was doing too much damage so shorter fights, really hope its tweaked

[leaden spoke]

With Rela i get no point, with Cube i managed to get 2pts per flight meanwhile, but still ridiculous 😉

they give you enemies, where you would need a 70s ship to defeat, but i am only ops69 - highly unbalanced

[coarse iris]

I logged in today thinking of buying the new ship and competing for daily rewards but found out you had to start day one, okay I am going to do dailys but guess what on Silent Defensive task it only counts 1 point and I need 100 of them so you want me to travel 30 times to the same system where on average 5 min a trip? okay decided to check the gift tab, noticed upon collecting one of the chests I received mission point, oh yeah I am going to relax and do a mission to find out what this arc is about, but guess what there no longer mission in holodeck because you completed it, so you think after all this there is any willing left in me to spend? No, I don't think so, try your luck next month.

[patent star]

Something seriously seems to be broken for "Silent Defensive." Some people were able to finish it in a few hits while the rest of us can't even begin to do it. Is this being looked at?

[pale oasis]

What crew?

[coarse iris]

@pale oasis tucker makes a difference, try seska jan and tucker

[pale oasis]

Still only getting 1 point per hostile. Idk

[tame terrace]

Going to give you some general feedback….Your support people need to be a whole lot better at customer service. With the kind of money Scopely is hoping to get people to spend on this game, customer service should be acting like the players are walking on golden brick roads. I am so tired of loosing friends from the game when Scopely customer support basically tells them to take a hike after they have spent a boat load of money on this game and won’t fix problems that inhibit their game play

[obsidian ore]

The "Silent Defensive" daily goal is very poorly designed. The amount of damage one is required to mitigate with just apex barrier is so high that one would have to defeat hundreds (approximately 300) of hostiles at one's same level for an OPS 60 player. If a player instead destroys their own ship against a hostile two levels higher (level 62) it only takes 10 defeats. The number is so high that any player who respects their own time would just destroy their own ship. What is the thinking here?

[neat dust]

This arc is trash. The ‘goal’ for apex mitigation is ridiculous and I can’t kill a single Silent at my level. Smashed numerous hulls and buff/crew/FT combinations. Nothing.

[halcyon fiber]

The funny thing with the Barrier mitigation daily is, that the higher your Iso Defense is, the worse you score.

I tried going max warp, taking big shots, so my apex barrier could mitigate more, but most incoming damage is eaten up by iso defense since Silent Hostiles are dealing almost exclusively Iso Damage.

315b Damage Incoming, but 260b get removed by Defense (without Iso Def Officers) and only 1.9b are mitigated by the Apex Barrier.
This would work a lot better if Silents wouldnt be Iso exclusive.
