[pearl crest]

When are bugley planning to fix the mission... Fallback part 5 where its out of bounds and unable to complete

[worldly grove]

Ok, i am seriously confused, I planned to OPS up this month, is there going to be an Event for that??

[proven sparrow]

This task should be ANY armada.

as for the Borg armadas most people cant do higher than level 55 which gives 1 point

1 start per day for 105 super active people killing level 55 in an alliance over 7 days is 735 / 3300 points
1 start per day for 105 super active people killing level 58 in an alliance over 7 days is 2940 / 3300 points

I see no alliance out there with 105 members
All Members above ops 55
with 100% activity daily

People have real lives

[shadow trellis]

Well was planning on skipping the G6R but now with this arc I’m gonna struggle with a good interceptor

[plush prism]

KHANQUEST Khan's Challenge - SMS is not scoring Armadas correctly..... on a LVL 54 Unc. FKR received 17560 NOT the 173000 in the event description for that level..... Twice this happened

[opal dock]

event is the worse

[plush prism]

Losing dirs for garbage

points does not make any of us happy

[wide mason]

Yeh I was just looking at that. Our alliance is about the same with the three tasks, about 25% of our team is 55+ so the rest can't even see these tasks (if they could do them). The tasks need rebalancing. I've not yet been able to get a single credit for the first research which makes it seem it could be over a month before I an start the first research node. At that pace, I may as well just ignore this arc - which I don't really want to do.

[jaunty nacelle]

<@&509690795536941056> any update on when the Mission for Fallback Mission Part 5 issue is going to be fixed? for me, the proposed work around did not resolve it.

[shell vortex]

So you broke the cube cutting beam...Hit a hostile and it charges, hit another hostile and it drops down, hit a third hostile and it charges, hit a fourth and it drops...So takes like 3 times the needed hostiles to actually charge the beam. Why break stuff that actually worked? Also it sounds like you made the new armada harder? That sounds like a very very dumb idea. They were already too hard at launch.

[halcyon goblet]

part2 will sell the solution - as it did the arc before and before and before and before...

[proven sparrow]

Balance?
i doubt anyone on my server will make that target

[dim vortex]

<@&509690795536941056> can we have the tasks back as events so we can actually see what’s going on and who’s contributing please

[barren meteor]

How are you still seeing that screen?

[molten marlin]

didn't update their game yet

[barren meteor]

Wish i had that option for the pc

[proven sparrow]

I didnt press that and will not press it for as long as possible 😂

[steady tiger]

I would like that too, and to include a setting that gives me the option to exclude players from the reward if they do nothing.

[stoic ferry]

I don't know what you guys are changing. It might be just the tremendous lag that causes the problem. But I used to kill 4-5, then 2-3, then 1 and now I can't even kill one. And people go in there and hit them without killing them. Someone else kills them and gets credit for the Damage You Caused! These new hostile Starting with "OUTPOSTS" (must kill Ten levels below your level). Then the 4 kinds of "V'Ger" hostiles. And now the "Borg Solo Armadas" (many of us again have to kill them Ten Levels below our level). Fix this when MOST OF US CAN'T KILL THEM IT IS A LOPSIDED GAME.

[tiny mirage]

<@&509690795536941056> First of all: unfortunately, there are still many bugs in arc 88, BUT it's basically a great new playground. Please just lower all requirements (building upgrades, research, task requirements, etc.). We have a private life outside of STFC and can no longer meet the requirements. Don't use G7 as a benchmark and scale down, but rather use G5 as a basis (feasible for normal players) and then scale up. Think about it, the arc is still good, but it will lose its appeal if nothing changes. PLEASE think about it!! Don't drive it into the wall like the last arcs.

[noble steppe]

we need to be able to see who in our alliance is participating in how much they are contributing to each of the new Maverick tasks, now that it's no longer in the event tab we can't see who's doing what. without that how do we know who to cut and who to keep? it should be an event tab just like the dailies

[marble parrot]

..not even the mighty scopely bugs can defeat the new borg armadas!

🥵😅☠️

(Please adjust the power again)

[vernal fulcrum]

I agree, if being successful is goign to be a group effort, we need to be able to encourage those that are not putting in effort and praise those that are carrying the group.

[queen verge]

3 use GS-31 in arena 3 relunch ! very good <@&509690795536941056>

[coarse iris]

Anyone know if there is going to be event today where we need to defeat new armada?

[dim vortex]

Or minimums to qualify for each tier of reward. Even if it’s only 1% of that tier that would still exclude 80% currently

[coarse iris]

Nice creativity here, but I can defeat 2 62 new armada with the same power with just regular titan buff.

[glass pewter]

<@&509690795536941056> Outposts are still broken but an Outpost event is running. Please have Scopely explain this stupidity.

[near saddle]

we are aware of the issue. In the meantime, there's an alternative scoring to help you with the event

[steady tiger]

Outpost broken, but maybe... sick guys.

[high aurora]

This ticketed event needs alternate scoring <@&509690795536941056> . Add ship xp and officer xp. A lot of folks are building and research locked in early g7

[potent crane]

is there a calendar for when the alliance tornament will be scheduled?

[shadow trellis]

Not that I’ve seen but tends to be towards end of battlepass

[potent crane]

thanks

[quiet gulch]

@near saddle
Do we not get a Battle Pass Event for the 13th in Mid Ops?

[wet grove]

<@&509690795536941056> Today‘s lower level „Mine Transogen“ BP event urgently needs alternate scoring.
You cant assume everyone has a Serene Squall, and without one the event is just not doable for example on lvl43 and 33M points requirements

[quiet gulch]

A single G3 faction miner can have the event done in 2 hours just mining uncommon.

Point Calculation at
33m Req at 1040pt/unc w 17,047 mined hourly on G3 Miner

Send out 2 to 3 miners and it'll be done in minimal time

mind you, this is at the entry level systems, the systems further in mine faster

[lean vapor]

Bring back Chronicle of the Ascendant.

[wet grove]

Would be nice if that were true for everyone.
Lvl43 player in my alliance with a T9 Valkis has 7500/hr on uncommon transogen, which is still more than 4hrs in a system that eats your ships hp away.
Not everyone has that transogen building on high levels already.
Thats why I‘m saying: this needs an alternate scoring path.

[versed grotto]

In its original form. Not the second run and further where they removed scoring then yes... otherwise id rather have the officer of the month once again be available by buying bp. This game has become a joke for its money grab in recent years

[quiet gulch]

Considering my transogen forge is only at 35 currently, I wouldn't really consider that high level.
Crewing might play a part? The crew I was using was the Ferengi Conglomerate Survey Crew...
Outside of that, how far behind is that players research?

Maybe we can figure out why they are mining so slow and help figure out a solution that will benefit them.

[visual swallow]

add full unlock in the battlepass is a bad choice, that will be a real money grab...

[versed grotto]

Back in the day there were at least 1 epic and 1 rare officer per month. While the Epic was fought over 3 different mat spend events the rare officer was free as long as you bought the cheap 20 dollar battlepass. They changed that yesrs ago. And moved to a pack based then limited event options including the event in question.

Every move they make is for more $$ not player satisfaction

Remember the unnecessary officer nerfs, or the DTI debacle as proof. The only reason those got changed were due to player backlash.

So scopley, in their infinite wisdom, screwed everyone and has had players quitting this once great game since late last year.

But. The WHALES keep them on the path we are currently on. They keep paying for broken content, while I do not even care to reach 70 as going g7 is a complete money grab now

[visual swallow]

in my case, that I dont spend money in the game, its still a bad option... they could still add an officer there and keep an event like the chronicles for us f2p be able to unlock it. yes that event was rewarding to players that saved mats/specialty ship parts and other stuff, but that would still make spenders spend... my guess is: whales dont hoard, they most likely build a new ship and max it in the same month or the next one, and thats why they are removing the event. it is not interesting to whales that f2p have an event like that (or at least I think scopely thinks that way) therefore they will, most likely, have the new officer to be unlocked in the weekend (spend mats event like old old days) and f2p will have the officer in small drip later on when they add the officer in recruit tab...

[versed grotto]

How many 20 dollar bps has scopley sacrificed to appease the whales?

[ashen notch]

You're overlooking an important fact... new officers as of late have been meh at best, so its not really a loss theyre not in the battlepass. What needs to be done with the battlepass is removing items easily sourced elsewhere. Frankly, temporal disruptor have no business being a battlepass milestone reward.

[versed grotto]

Thats just one of many "refreshes" they need to do. Remember when epic officers were all had captain abilities. Not even paying any attention to the sync officers that we had to learn... but I digress. We are now 2+ years into anti f2p/light spenders...

[stark warren]

I’m really excited for CotA next week! Oh yeah, they cancelled it. Guess I’ll just take my ball and go home.

[simple helm]

Freeeee cota

[edgy wren]

Has anyone suggested to extend the First of the Empire event? If you're stuck in an arena match and it ends past the cutoff you don't score points for it. Not a great idea to have it end when arenas end.

[wet grove]

His Transogen Forge is at lvl17. That‘s 6500% Uncommon Transogen Mining Bonus, compared to 13200% on lvl35.
Mining crews would (even if he had the officers) make a small difference here (100% for example with Quark or the Tribble, 1000% with D‘Chok, but he has none of them) - it all stands and falls with having a high Transogen Forge Building Level or having a Serene Squall.
Well, or a Selkie, but that‘s a bit further away from lvl43.
His research is more or less up to date to lvl43, so that‘s also not the issue, he‘s been camping there quite a while to catch up with stuff he neglected.
He‘s gonna try with the Valkis, Horizon and some Envoys to see if he can complete it.
As I cannot imagine that being what people had in mind when they designed this event, I‘m still vouching for an alternate scoring path. Isogen for example, or data.

[vivid delta]

Something is going wrong on their side as well as I’m not that far ahead of them in terms on level and I can comfortably hit 31k an hour.

[spare shore]

The scoring for the aggregation alliance kills is a bit overboard if my alliance was all able to kill the 70s and nothing else we would still collectively need 2740 kills to complete

Seeing as none of us can that number grows to agregious heights unrealistic for our alliance and likely unrealistic for many others

I appreciate the inclusion of some true grind to complete tasks but that bar is really really high

[wet grove]

Well, what level is your transogen forge / transogen mining research?
You know, there‘s people who play this game for the f2p game that it is supposed to be.
I get „heroic“ events being spend only, but a standard battlepass event needs to take into consideration a full f2p progression where people just dont have „the average progression of someone who spends money on the game“

[spare shore]

They obviously are adapting they literally tell you the changes going down for the times

[vivid delta]

I’m certainly not a big spender, I used to buy the odd battlepass but Scopely has made it easier not to.

I also got the squall f2p route and a level 43 f2p should also have it at that level.

I agree there should be alternative scoring for all BP.

[wet grove]

I disagree on „a lvl43 should have it at that level“ - because with the soaring content overload, every player should be able to just do the things that are fun to them.
If someone doesnt like transogen mining, they should be able to skip out on that and still have a chance do the bp events.

In my opinion, requiring a specialty ship for a common battle pass event should never happen without alternate scoring.
I mean, it‘s totally fine to run a transogen BP event - but isogen or data should score too for example

[quiet gulch]

So there is the problem right there as you said, he sped through to an OPS level and is now suffering for it, because a lot of things were neglected.

Like the event was structured specifically for ops 25 to 50, with sub 24 having to mine regular materials.
Part of STFC is planning out your moves to ensure you are able to complete the content effectively.

I am sorry and where I do agree that some events are "harder" than others. I don't feel like this is actually one of them.
To compare this, I would say it is like a Fresh Level 60 in Classic WoW trying to compete in Molten Core with greens on.

I do feel bad for your friends situation and if there were a solution, it would mainly be like they are already trying to do, get out every survey ship that can reach out there and start hitting the nodes. Transogen is a important loop that should never be neglected as it gives you access to a great deal of artifact acquisition.

Side Note: If He has an Extra Token to enter Token space (which you get at every 5 levels of the trans forge); he can mine in those systems at an extraordinarily high mining rate.

[stark warren]

FREE COTA!

[upper mango]

They did free us from CotA

[stark warren]

So returning to a weekend spend event for an officer unlock is better?

[upper mango]

It will depend on the milestones, but hoarding stuff for CotA got really boring

[stark warren]

You didn’t have to. There was still a spend event at the end. The end result of this isn’t going to be better sourcing. It’s going to further distance spenders from average players while diminishing the value of all the currency that was once involved in CotA.

[karmic dew]

It's business as usual for Scopely then....

[agile latch]

Here you go.

[silent silo]

My favorite events are back! Glad all the issues are solved now 🫶

[opal smelt]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-doggy-puppy-doggo-golden-retriever-gif-15017123046091484654

[silent silo]

More time to raid abandoned bases. At least one good aspect, isn’t it? 😕🤔

[opal smelt]

Hostile hunting for BP

[stark warren]

So the same spend event we’ve had for 6 years is back. The currency we’ve been saving for months is greatly devalued (without warning) and this is supposed to be exciting how?

[upper mango]

Retrieving… events are players favorite

[shadow trellis]

Lol is that right 30k on last milestone

[upper mango]

STFC has been nerfing events for a long time now, but now you can at least enjoy making some progress in various parts of the game instead of hoarding for months. Everyone will get those new officers over time.

[dusky fox]

Retrieving... events are the worst! I want to collect those levels of BP awards, but Retrieving... isn't scoring whether I mine or I hostile hunt.

[lime solar]

@full swan This feedback is specific to the ops 51-54 experience this current arc. You gave us... pretty much nothing to be excited about this arc. When STFC first rolled out the low/mid game separate experience, I was ops 50, right at the cut off between the two experiences. It was nice to have a specific ship focus for the battle pass, and that experience has continued for the G3 and G4 game, rotating which ships are focused on. That's great, and people like @storm ridge have celebrated it. I am at ops 53 now, so when it was announced that this month's arc is raising the cutoff to ops 55, I was looking forward to seeing what STFC would be giving the low G5 group to focus on. In the patch notes... nothing. You highlighted what the G3/G4 battle passes would focus on, but you were silent about what the battle pass would contain for low G5. It took me a while to figure out that the focus is on increased E/I/B ship parts. Could you have at least mentioned that in the patch notes? Let us know why we should buy the battle pass. Just a single line in the patch notes: "For Ops 51-55, the battle pass focuses on increased general ship parts to help advance your ships more quickly." Something like that. Beyond the battle pass issue, the events feel empty. What goals are there for us to look forward to and focus on this month? You took away CotA, put the only new officer shards event in the first weekend, and pretty much nothing else. Yes, there is the Militant Maverick event bundle... Giving us Maverick faction and Dive Bar materials we can't use yet. Now I get it. STFC wants us to rush up to 55 for the new content. But still. This month is just another letdown.

[fluid gust]

please stop giving events for augments until hostile spawns are fixed.
many systems are unusable without reliant because none of the regular hostiles can spawn anymore.

[lone dragon]

Except that this entire BP event is based around Augments....🤪

[fluid gust]

so what do i hunt to earn reliant blueprints?

[left marlin]

Will there be more Events to source FCM Data? Cuz what we have for this weekend is wholly inadequate 🤦‍♂️ #FreeCotA

[haughty minnow]

Can you please sort out the lag again... EU130

[grand fulcrum]

<@&509690795536941056> @wanton copper so not only did you guys delete COTA (and thus the meta SMS officer shards) you halved the amount of shards available in the heroic SMS (And the mat spend as well so mats per shard is the same at least) but it's now impossible to unlock the new officer immediately unless you place top3 in the SLB nice moneygrab

[inner nova]

Seems to me the wrong SMS is labeled heroic (that one took 15 minutes). I see no way of doing the borg one without money....only one free start/day.

[stark warren]

Saving and planning for events adds strategy and competition with valuable rewards along with exciting gameplay. Scopely historically nerfing events is a poor excuse for mediocrity.

[polar musk]

where is the low level augments. only can find level 26

[tribal meadow]

Profanity is what I wanted to use because nice wording does not work. Running the new borg solo armadas in a weekly event, using all the starters. Now there is a 24 hour event requiring 2 armadas. I get 100 starters in 8 hours again, meaning I cannot complete event. Where is the logic in this? Hope Scopely will do the right thing and give starters or points for this.

[kind stirrup]

love getting 24-hour armada evvents requiring 2 completions with only a 1/day slow drip of starts

[upper mango]

Indeed. The game economy is fundamentally broken because they chased away lots of paying players with long streak of incompetence and lack of any respect of any of the players.

Best to just take what comes f2p or simply move on to other stuff in life that gives one joy. Trying to harvest or squeeze some f2p players to become spenders is the least surprising part of STFC changes, but lack of engaging content or any semblance of effort to make the game stable and playable is sad, because it completely undercuts their ability to monetize the player base.

100% frustration-based game economy always results in players giving up and games getting shut down. STFC is getting pretty close to that 100%.

In the end, it’s just a silly game. People will move on and will be fine.

[marsh fjord]

The exiled hostiles are not respawning for those of us without the reliant.

[thick owl]

The Exile Event is a joke for players who don't have the Reliant. I can't reliably kill anything beyond a level 38 even on my ops 50 account. Thanks for screwing a significant number of FtP players out of the Overflow final milestone.

[late orchid]

So 10+ days and you haven't figured out why outposts are skipping numerous retaliation enemies? Can we get a refund of our directives?

[idle parcel]

Nopely is completely deaf to what we need in this game. Our server is bleeding players quitting the game, as they don't have the time for it. We just had a whale quit. Between the FT job of the game and the numerous problems in the game that don't get fixed, people are finding better things to do. I'm finding it easier and easier to not log in most of the day.

[marsh fjord]

I have 28 of 200 prints for the reliant. This is clearly a game bug that the hostiles aren't respawning. That is unless Scopely slowed their respawn rate way down as an attempt at a money grab. It took hours to hit tier two of the battle pass.

[stark warren]

We are on the same page here. It just seems that there are so many good ideas for content and updates that are completely ignored for a new loop that is completely irrelevant in two months. This could be a great game but alas, the only thing in Scopely’s way is Scopely itself. Sadly their rapacious nature and unwillingness to make the game enjoyable is exactly why their player base is leaving and sales are declining.

[kind stirrup]

can we get some directives for this conqueror borg evvent? the 1/day comes short to finish event. Plleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaase

[scenic flint]

<@&509690795536941056> I have issues with this event.

1. why is it a 24 hour event when you only get 1 pull a day and it take 2 armadas to complete?

2. why run this right after a 2 day armada slb event where we spent all our directives to score?

3. why is the milestones in 50 point increments when you can only score in 100 point increments?

[sweet valve]

If you want people to pay for epic officers ongoing, fine, just don’t go releasing content that requires the newer officer until 4-5 months from now

[balmy sky]

Anyone notice Cardassian armadas are not scoring for today's events

[modern spade]

<@&509690795536941056> adding my voice to the very negative feedback about the removal of CotA, and this “new exciting” recruit event.
These two arc officers will need to be t3+ to supplant the crews we have already… yes, they’ll be good for new Borg solos. Yes, they probably be useful also for G7 Open.
But these are edge cases.
The current recruit events won’t even get the vast majority of ppl a full unlock, no matter how many mats they spend.
CotA at least gave the chance of a full unlock to a fair few ppl, and to the really focused few another tier or two.
If you’re going to go back to this “vanilla” format, at least please go back to the “tiered” sms system where those who chose to could unlock additional tiers with more spend.
No such chance here. And the path to tier them once again uses specialty credits, yet again another annoying useless choke for yet another currency.

And a final note - just announcing that CotA is gone is frankly not good enough.
Please give players some direction as to events that might be coming, if any, that will use the specialty creds, ship parts, building mats etc, if there will be any.
And if none will be coming, please just plainly say so - tell players not to hold on to them anymore,

We deserve better than this. Please. 🙏

[thick owl]

My ops 50 account can't kill the level 42 Augment Exiles. Ships other than Hijacked D3's aren't spawning in Gamma 400. It's going to take over 1000 kills in Ceti Alpha.

NO BP event should require this kind of grind or spending RL money to buy a 1 specialty ship

[civic oak]

Did you find it?

[ebon crystal]

<@&509690795536941056> Is CotA really gone for good?

[odd dock]

yes it didnt make money, hardly anyone actually participated in its very poor roi. instead of adjusting the metrics they scapped it. shows you their level of commitment to loops. dont ever spend on incompetence ... but ppl do.

[halcyon valley]

Same here - the event sucks!

[ebon crystal]

I wasn't asking you and you are kinda wrong. It was a great roi if you knew how to play the game 😉

[hollow lichen]

Data doesn't even increase the shots against these Borg ones as they are solo and not group. Only his loot works, so he's just an inferior tolra

[modern spade]

Guess it’s good for Open G7’s, once tiered up. Good luck getting there tho….

[tawdry jetty]

This BP event is practically impossible without the Reliant. Lvl 47 players are capped at lvl 38 hostiles without it. Isn't the point of this Arc to get those sub-50 players into the reliant and caught up? Really takes the motivation out of trying to complete the rest of the Arc when you cant reach the overflow.

[radiant solstice]

If you're running an event that requires directives, please provide at least 2x the minimum quantity required as gifts.

[mint hill]

on server 56 new augment hostiles are not spawning in the levels 34 - 36 -38 sys

[marsh fjord]

It took me hours and now my wallet has slammed shut. Reap the rewards Scopely

[marsh fjord]

I submitted a ticket to be ignored

[mild path]

Out of curiosity, how can I finish sms that require to kill 2 conqueror armadas if you give 100 directives at the time? <@&509690795536941056>

[floral hound]

I just heard CoA was cancelled and there is nothing replacing it!? The game has been going downhill since the summer and this is just a nail in the coffin. Especially with so many other good games out now.

[molten marlin]

The old slb/sms was the replacement

[winged niche]

Again scoply start worst battle pass event.if anyone have not uss Reliant ship how to complete event.if you defeat level 44 Augment hostile you need 164 hostile.sunday is fun day but is it's frustrated Day 😭😭

[lime solar]

And a bad replacement, too. No joy in it. With c o t a we had multiple days with different ways each day to earn points, allowing for strategy and more people to achieve on different days. It wasn't just a spend materials only event. 2 days of spend materials only for the two events is downright boring, and goes against what stfc keeps telling us they want to give us. Specifically new challenges to overcome with various strategies available to use. The old sms/slb material spend does not do that.

[thick owl]

@winged niche , I can't even kill a level 42 AE on my ops 50 account. I can reliably kill level 38's but the spawn rate is atrocious. I completed the event on my ops 42 account only because I got lucky and found a few of the miners.

[spark sequoia]

AE hostiles BP event is the worst! Level 50, I’d have to kill a kabillion of the freaking 32s. I’ve been at it for over 4 hours and haven’t even reached the first milestone. Scopely, you’ve hit an all time low with this one.

[halcyon valley]

This is the worst event ever - and the last time I bought the elite BP. If this is the way the game goes bye bye..

[spark sequoia]

Micha911, agree 💯. This one sucks!

[woven fog]

i JUST got the baby reliant and im scraping by with 30s/32s and im JUST barely over the first milestone, this was a HORRIBLE idea to put this in as a daily event

[civic pasture]

it made money initially but because they were lazy and didnt update it over time it became hoardable and no longer got spend

[civic pasture]

what crew you using

[wet grove]

I think <@&509690795536941056>, the important sentiment to take away from the mid-ops „mine transogen“ and „kill augment exile hostiles“ BP event feedback of the past few days is this:

Never ever run structures that require a pre-owned and pre-tiered specialty ship for BP events without any proper alternate scoring mechanism.

When the sales coercion starts to bar players from the standard bp events, thats when people put down the game in frustration and and turn towards other games that honor their time investment more

[gray belfry]

The new borg solo armardas are far too difficult cannot be beat with 3 reasonalble ship 1 of each kind

[thick owl]

@wet grove , the Transogen event isn't a problem. With conventional miners you just send in a warship with your conventional miners to kill the chasers. With 2 miners you're done in an hour of passive grinding. The AE event is another story. I actually finished it on my ops 42 event but it took about 6 runs. I wound up using my Maxed Enterprise with a Hostile Crew and farmed the level 36 hostiles. It's about 170 kills if you don't get lucky and find a couple of miners. My ops 45 account didn't even bother. I only made the first milestone on my ops 50 account

[gloomy current]

This is 100% a problem of you either not crewing correctly, skipping entire loops, or rushing Ops and not building ships to handle hostiles at your level. A T5 relativity or G4 epic will crush them.

There is no real excuse for an Ops 50 player to be struggling with level 42 augment exiles.

[stone glade]

OK, the new challenges with the new Mavericks faction are interesting... but unfortunately a bit excessive if you don't have at least 70+ players in your alliance. It's a shame that this is now being penalized.

[thick owl]

@gloomy current, I'm a FtP player. I don't have Lorca yet and I don't have the time to research niche crews that are good for one thing only. As far as ships, I don't have a G4 Epic or a tiered Relatively. My best ship ATM is my NSEA Protector.

[gloomy current]

The difference between being FTP / Pay-to-play is one of how long things will take for you to achieve in the game, it's not about lacking the means to defeat content at your ops.

Simply pushing Ops without having the support of ships / crew / research / artifacts to support the level you are at, then you will fall into the trap that you're describing.

It is much better to be a strong 42, than a very weak 50 player, similarly it's much better to be a strong 50, than an extremely weak 56 player who can't handle the content for their level.

i.e. As a rule of thumb, (whether you're pay or free to play), if you make sure that you can defeat everything you need to at +1 ops, it means when you do advance ops, you've nothing to worry about. You will find the game far less difficult, and at the same time far less time consuming when you're punching up, rather than down.

As for augment crews, you don't need a particularly 'niche' crew. Janeway/Doc/Annorax do just fine, and are a very common Hostile Crew as you move into G5 and even G6.

The NSEA isn't a great hostile hunting ship - It is however, an extremely good ship to farm faction rep in mirror space - my recommendation to help get you 'unstuck', would be to use it to get the rep necessary, and build a G4 epic while you tier up your relativity and work to obtain any other missing ships from your fleet. Stay at 50 for a couple of months, do those few things and you'll suddenly feel the game become alot easier

[thick owl]

@gloomy current , Actually I find the NSEA Protector to be an effective ship for me for general Hostile farming

[gloomy current]

Respectfully, it's just not. Not compared to a tiered relativity or FKR ship - if you focus on obtaining a T5 relativity or a good tiered G4 epic, the difference isn't small, it's huge.

Compare this to your NSEA - This is an Ops 46 / T5 Relativity from my alliance

@thick owl

[wet grove]

Transogen heavily depends on your Transogen Building level, Lvl43 in our alliance barely managed to do it with a max Valkis, a max Horizon and two max Envoys. It‘s different for everyone.
This isnt about single players though, but about a general issue: Alternate scoring is necessary for all specialty ship events to account for the diversity in player progression.
Someone might have focused heavily on one specialty ship and gotten it f2p, someone might have bought it, someone might have nearly unlocked it and someone might now have bothered at all.
For heroic events it‘s fine to require monetary engagement, but a general battlepass event absolutely needs to offer different types of alternate scoring so everyone gets an equal chance at completing regardless of personal progression and choices

[thick owl]

@wet grove, My ops 42 account finished the Transogen SMS event with a pair of max G3 Faction Miners in an hour. My ops 50 account got lucky with the most recent event because I had parked my Serene Squall in Fennit the night before

[vivid delta]

While I still agree that all BP events should have an alternative scoring method But

The squall has been around long enough to earn F2P. Even without the Squall, if your player just mined transogen as a routine task, they would have a much higher forge. It’s not always the games fault

[lone dragon]

Forget about this BP event. Fix the broken floating hostiles before you make an event. If we get 1 spawn every 30 seconds and 7 people are trying to kill it, that doesn't work. I need to kill over 400 ships to finish. it would take me a wekk like this.

[wet grove]

Possibility != necessary action in my opinion, as mentioned before especially in a game that has the most severe content overload I‘ve ever seen.
But I guess we can agree to disagree on the specifics, because the actually important point is that every event should have alternate scoring paths

[strong anchor]

US shifts to Daylight Savings Time so you pushed regular events and dailies reset forward 1 hour but pushed Daily Events forward 2 hours?

[proven sparrow]

Stupid Task, Maverik Alliance tasks should be easily completable by every alliance or no one will ever progress the faction store

[humble sleet]

<@&509690795536941056>
Rushed from OP’s 53 to 56 this weekend to Build the bar and unlock the Maverick Faction only to discover its impossible to actively participate in / gain rewards from the Maverick Alliance Tasks because if you don’t qualify at the start of the week you can’t join part way through.

This feels like a significant oversight as it’s demoralizing for the players who rushed their growth to participate, especially since there wasn’t good communication about the OP’s requirements for the Maverick Faction. It’s

With poor timing it means even if you qualify you can’t gain rep or rewards for a week.

Any chance this will be addressed and those shut out of participation can get a leg up?

[radiant hazel]

<@&509690795536941056> You announce the 1h earlier End of Events the Night before at 2am? People have Reallife and come from Weekend Trips or such. Easy doable in 1 hr with old times. Logged in and saw Events were reset and then found the news from in the middle of the Night! So no points for nothing. Thank you for posting this that late when the Events from Saturday were already online!!!

[left marlin]

#FreeCotA It’s not too late to undo the damage 😉🙏

[copper shadow]

the reasoning they've alluded to in past is join a bigger alliance. Don't get me wrong it isn't a great answer but thats there thinking get rid of the small keep the big it factors into every facet of their business model from bugs to packs from ftp to whales.

[copper shadow]

They're too dense to understand it only affects ppl for a single day. Also that kids in gradeschool understand dst better than folks in this company is embarrassing tbh.

[cinder flame]

I agree and I also wish I could see the event like that. Scopely update removed all member participation visibility

[haughty minnow]

Anyone else missing the main story line missions since reset? 🙄

[stark warren]

I really hope there is a plan to replace CotA. Imagine playing a video game where they eliminate events because the player base doesn’t like them after months of polling giving them months in advance to spend the loot they saved then replaces it with something better because, you know, they care about their player base.

[gray dawn]

Surge feedback from my alliance chat. Basically full of lags. Battles trigger like 3-4s after ship catches the hostile, then battle itself is at least 7-8 seconds..... I wont even ask when or will it ever be looked 🙂 Too bad that surge research is locked behind this "fun" mode.

[blazing dune]

I am ops 56 I use one of each FKR ship and most of the suggested crews. I use Titan, Cerritos and Defiant buff. Can get the 55’s. Also used exocomp for armada. Higher ops players in my alliance also having to do 55’s. W/O the research they are tuff. Lorca’s fist was also suggested-didn’t need that-used it on the 53 Xindi armada tho! And solo’d.

[obsidian quiver]

Epic Borg solo armadas are not scoring for the Ultra armada event. Neither are Uncommon or Rare. IS there a reason for this.

[molten marlin]

because it says regular armada directives, not solos

[rancid blaze]

Odd I'm getting 1 point per unc 48 Borg Solos

[inner nova]

Read the other box, labeled "Defeat Hostiles"

[rancid blaze]

since when are armadas hostiles?

[civic pasture]

since always that why 5 of 11 loot abilities works on them. but they are also not hostiles since almost everything else that says works on hostiles doesn't work on armadas. standard STFC spaghetti coding .

[molten marlin]

don't cross post

[tiny mirage]

Then tell me how it should go so you'll react. Nothing will be done anyway, as always when you do something for the alliance.

[tiny mirage]

No answer? Quit good Job 👍

[native shadow]

hes a moderator not a game dev 😅 scopely like tho do weird stuff aswell. same goes for this weekly reset and event reset. seems like we will need to push up very quick on small window

[copper shadow]

ya kinda looks like when scopley did this new content they made it work like arcs do gotta be at x ops lv for a certain timeframe before reset or new arc for relevant rewards I'm tracking this with some of my own teammates that wasn't 55 when this arc dropped for verification as well

[small rover]

Thanks for the in-game event schedule update just as today's events went live. lol.

[quiet flume]

They even changed the events for today. The week 1 schedule they posted had today's events be docking materials and mining transogen. Now the events are gain power and kill hostile.

[small rover]

Pretty sure today's event wasn't a Domination on the schedule prior to event reset

They did keep the TG mining on the schedule for today, just for Khanquest second round of events. Pfft. So my preloading ain't wasted time

[scenic flint]

<@&509690795536941056> I dislike going back tot he standard mat spend event over the weekend. I spent more mats and felt like I got more progress done with the COTA events. The basic, plain mat spend event is just boring and unoriginal. The COTA events were a bit more targeted and allow me to have a bit more fun with the game.

[jade mist]

Domination BP event without option to use ship or officer XP still a very bad idea. Not everyone is able to gain that much power with research/building only
Let alone on a regular basis as is happening lately

[civic oak]

If the events are going to change last second AND we have TWO domination events this week, please update them to allow ship XP. <@&509690795536941056>

[pearl crest]

When will they fix mission Fallback part5.... after the arc has finished at this rate

[small rover]

I've scaled back my usual post-Opsing up mass upgrades because of these Domination events..... Only doing them for these events now

[sleek perch]

<@&509690795536941056> Can we please fix all events to end at the same time? I would rather no events change for daylight savings and everything be an hour later than having multiple times where events reset. Change the time for all events, or none at all.

[errant jetty]

I see there is another Event for Officer recruitment. Specifically for WOK and TOS Officers. BUT, the tabs that were there for that group of officers are no longer in the lineup. Explain HOW this Event is to be completed when these Officers are missing from the lineup?

[junior juniper]

here is some event feed back. Dont put 2 events that use the SAME stuff one day after another. As now some people cannot do the SM.....

[molten marlin]

dock your ships

[jade mist]

#🛠-known-issues message

good to know the retrieving issue is fixed.
So we will never get retrieving again?
Or was it only fixed for the specific event and do the generic Retriving issues remain unfixed?
<@&509690795536941056>

[spark radish]

Oh bloody hell, they've done it like Monaveen? Thanks... I'm going to put that half on me for not noticing and half on them for being confusing.

[surreal warren]

it never got fixed, they lied in their announcement

[jade mist]

Its most disturbing scopely deliberately lies to us. They have done so for quite along time now.
In the announcements here, but also by their GM - at least twice.

[surreal warren]

yesterday we all had "retrieving..." events for over 2 hours
see #👾-bug-reporting message

[sonic carbon]

Why put an event out that requires multiple armada starts but only give you enough to start one? It should be a free to play event not spend $100. And you can’t even put a $20 pack out there everything has to be $100.

[jade mist]

No events should be only finishable by spending real cash

[spark radish]

Anything you get limited starts for and a cap you kind of have to sit just under the cap all the time in case they do an event. Outpost, Revenant, these new things...

[high aurora]

<@&509690795536941056> Any reason Berillium Spheres are not in the Ferengi Store?

[unique flint]

They are at least for ops 70.

[kind stirrup]

running constant conqueror armada slb's only to give us a heroic costing 4 starts to complete after we've all blown our loads already is pretty lame sauce, scopes.

[high aurora]

My alliance mate said they disappeared for him and he’s certainly below 70..lol

[junior juniper]

@kind stirrup Yep. They have punished the players that have been trying to help their alliance and rewarded the selfish players that have held onto their directives.

They have also removed one of the few events that helps everyone of all ops levels COTA.

[high aurora]

And the weekly resets at midnight, so we also have to navigate that

[kind stirrup]

if I had to describe this weak sauce I'd call it "extra mild"

[novel mango]

Regional event=waste of time.

[kind stirrup]

they took out COTA? Thank god, saving upgrades for that just ruins my play style

did they really???

[junior juniper]

@kind stirrup Yep. totally removed it. Dunno if its perma or not, but no COTA this month according to the calender.

[surreal warren]

ofcourse

[kind stirrup]

YAY time to do all my upgrades party onnnnn

[junior juniper]

its honestly starting to feel like they are deliberately trying to force players away from the game lol. because this many mistakes, bugs and lack of concern for its their player base cannot be an accident lol

[hollow sage]

did they just added a borg slb event? I did 3 earlier for the maverick sms

[shut geode]

Scopely are we getting more armada credits, you cannot expect when you planning 7 days full of solo Borg armada events that we have enough 😵‍💫

[shy spindle]

Yes.

But wait with doing those till the Reset.

I mean the Maverick Reset for those Tasks.

Will reset in 10h10min

No sense in running any new Borg Armadas at the current moment.

[mossy helm]

we need more new borg armada directives to finish the MM events

at least one more is need to have 4 to finish the 2 days sms

[proven sparrow]

Only 1 alliance on my server were able to finish all the Maverik Borg Armada Hunt milestones

[late orchid]

Great awesome. You still can't count... let alone let people complete heroic sms without paying. Why do we even play this game...

[kind stirrup]

"players of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains!" - Rom, probably

[wheat pasture]

Please tell me the next weekly maverick hostile hunt will not be more Aggregation?

[shy spindle]

🤣

[sonic carbon]

So I guess they are going to go ahead and force people to spend $100 to complete a f2p event! Good job guys, anger the loyal players who do spend what money they can on this game. Alls you had to do was offer some directives because no one has any because they are doing all these Conqueror Borg solos for multiple events.

[stark warren]

So the event and rewards that really needed a facelift (Ferengi Pass) is the same and they get rid of CotA (which subsequently made the Ferengi Pass less of a waste). Brilliant! Scope finds a way to convince me not to spend again!

Not even into the online store, so I guess they don’t want us spending money either….. <@&509690795536941056> Does Scopely realize how stupid it is to remove the password from possibility to login into the store?????? You are greatly reducing impulse spending (which is good for the player….bad for you). Instead of making it easy to just put in a password, and click buy before you really think abt whether you really want to or not you send a pass code to an email….which gives people time to think twice abt spending. If there are people out there like me, they let time go by before they will bother getting the passcode and by then you are like pffft forget abt it. Don’t want it that badly anyway.

this is the 1-million-dollar-question tbh

[copper shadow]

higher than 1 million dollar question due to how much they could potentially lose over something like making our accounts less secure or how about hackers able to easily get into scopley website to gain our info but nooooo scopley just wants to send out a code so that anyone that could possibly get access to my email gains all that info smart scopley oh so smart just proves why we get so many bugs each month.

[novel totem]

<@&509690795536941056> honestly who designs this stuff. Why can't crucial things align so it makes sense:

• The Maverick Task Key Bundle does not reset with the Challenge track reset
• The Challenge Track (which features important Borg Solo Armadas Challanges) does not align with Event Reset

Now I need to waste two starts for the SMS before I can collect points for the Solo Challenge Task (after unlocking it in 19+ hours from now after the SMS is finished).

Why has this still not reset? thought you heard the feedback and was correcting it with this weeks cooldown?

Also why have we got the same stupid tasks with unachievable targets like Borg Armada Hunt.
Worst Arc release to date

[woven tulip]

if you look at patch notes the BGA's are always going to be there every week

[stone glade]

<@&509690795536941056> Can the Arc Runners explain how the new alliance tasks were calculated?
At the moment, it's a penalty for alliances whose average OPS level isn't that high. Regardless of whether there are many members with high engagement.
Why doesn't everything count equally, so that all alliances have to put in the same effort? At the moment, it's “Oh, you're a big alliance with a high OPS level... Here, take these rewards for little effort” and, on the other hand, “Unfortunately, you can't have that much, no matter how much time you spend in the game.”
That's demotivating.

[sharp iris]

<@&509690795536941056> Gorn hunters not scoring in vger event today for daily, can someone look into it, killed 12 and yes I checked it was Gorn, as I know you are prone to spawn the others.

[amber wyvern]

How is this fun? This is just adding more work.

[plush fulcrum]

They've already told you in the roadmap. They don't want small alliances anymore, Scopely would much rather every server just had 3 or 4 big alliances (just enough to encourage unfriendly rivalry (=spending))

And they've made no secret of the fact they don't care about the smaller players (unless they are also spending to get bigger). That's been the Scopely way for years, they gotta make money!

[vast shoal]

Still haven't fixed the Mission Fallback part 5?

[unique flint]

This was in the patch notes.

[copper shadow]

supposed to be fixed since we all know there success rate at fixing stuff...

[errant jetty]

Most should know that Free To Play stops at the point of it being mandatory to Purchase something to progress in a game. There should be a method within the game to obtain the same thing without paying for it.

[vast shoal]

Hmmm... so it took the weekend to fix the mission pin?

[slate coral]

Try levelling up to rectify that problem

[stone glade]

What does this have to do with my level?

[slate coral]

You have problems with being low level. Your entire post is devoted to pointing out that high level players have an advantage in the new content more than lower level players. You provided the best reason to yourself about why you should level up.

[stone glade]

You haven't understand the post and the direction Scopley took 🤷

[ashen notch]

While I get what you're saying, this is one area where Scopley is doing something fairly normal. Very few games release new content aimed towards lower level players. New content in games is normally targeted at high level players because high level players have often completed most of the existing content, and the game company is adding something to keep them playing longer. Newer/lower level players likely have a lot of unfinished content to work on before they're ready for new (endgame) content.

In short, while I understand wanting to participate in the new content, its actually very normal that the new content is targeted at higher level players. However, where Scopely fails is that events are aimed at the new content, with little to no consideration for those players who are literally unable to participate in the new content.

[stone glade]

And again it's not about the player. Its about the alliance tasks.
E.g. Aggregation Hostile Task. An alliance of 105 OPS 55 members - regardless how active they are - can't finish this. An alliance of 105 OPS 70+ players can do it in short time and much less effort. This is the disappointing point.

It's not about that the new content is harder or not available to all players. And this time I really appreciate that the armadas level 55 are easy to handle - the entry level players can participate.

But I can see... no one here cares about the smaller players anymore as long as they can do everything themselves. The balance is lost.

[worldly grove]

So yesterday was the Borg Solo event, today you put it in the Maverick Alliance challenge?!?!?!? Why would you do that???

[copper shadow]

well ya no one at scopley works after 12pm on Friday until Monday they prolly even had the fix ready to go already they just didn't do it ya know before they released the arc after all gotta generate that "goodwill" from us towards the overlords lol

[atomic relic]

I did some rough math, and for my mid level alliance with 90 players (45ish daily active) to complete the Maverick FKR hostile task milestones, each member would need to grind around 100 FKR hostiles every day. We barely made one milestone last week for the aggregation hostile task. If this task was rebalanced and less challenging to complete, it would probably receive more participation.

[round flume]

So After the Update , you rearranged the maverick tasks into the event store , so the automatically are completed once an alliance milestone has been reached… before you could choose when to claim it … so you would be able to get points by claiming it after the reset this evening for the new xalb….
<@&509690795536941056>
Thats a bit of a mess for alliances that calculated the times for the next xalb….

[ancient frigate]

How should an alliance with only 4 lv 70 and above player make 154k points in one week for the maverick task, if there are more player around 55 - 65....did you do math before making such high scores even if you take 15 points as middle per hostile you need over 10k hostiles @near saddle

[agile latch]

So if there is no CoTa, where will the large amount of Ferengi Store currency come from?

[molten marlin]

heh

Raised it, but don't think there will be any events to cover the shortfall.

[hollow yarrow]

Well the 7am maintenance prevented me from finishing the borg armada event!!!! 😡😤😡😤

[round tangle]

Even though this starts at Ops 55 it’s really designed for 70+. You need to have an alliance with a ton of 70+ players to complete many of these tasks without it being a horrible grind.

It’s a terrible design but they keep doing this. Releasing content that is not designed for the starting Ops

[woven tulip]

yep another example of being punished for engaging. This event needs to start when the weekly tasks reset. 😐 many alliances are going to get an unfair advantage now

[rapid cove]

Are you going to push additional Conqueror Borg Solo Armada Directs out to us TODAY to make up for the time errors this week --- Better information from Scopely would be helpful. I will get ONE Direct in 6 hours but we need 2 to get to 400 points in 22 hours. And if the answer is "you can buy them in the store" ---- then my response is 'can" -- well maybe, and 'will" --- definitely NOT

[stark warren]

Good thing there are no new events and no replacement for CotA. I’ll go back to playing something else.

[empty robin]

Why are there no CotA events????

[coral bane]

Seems this extra Maverick quantity content is a fail, or at least quite bugged.
Scopely continues to build garbage

[stark warren]

CotA, Alliance Tournaments and arenas is all I look forward to. One is gone with no replacement returning to a played out weekly spend event. They plan to upgrade AT which most likely means nerf that too. Boring, bad rewards, mediocre content, no engagement.

[empty robin]

Exactly, CotA and AT are two of the only events I plan around and make sure I spend time doing... Them missing has me looking away from this game because other parts are more frustrating than fun.

And arenas are too buggy to rely on for fun ..

[stark warren]

The community around arenas makes it fun. They could upgrade the Terran faction and make minor adjustments to arenas but no. That would be fun and engaging so it goes right into the shredder.

[red rose]

@empty robin CotA is gone because too many light spenders like me who planned for it were able to f2p new epic officers. There can be no sense of accomplishment in this game unless you

Pay scopely for it

[stark warren]

I would easily pay if the game was fun. Instead I’m downloading and playing other (non-Scopely) games with the intention of buying packs if they are fun.

[red rose]

Just got confirmation that there are no plans for any scheduled events around specialty ships buildings and currencies - we are back to spend something and hope there isn’t an event for the next day. Gonna archive account - glad I haven’t bought bp yet

Will check back in a few months to see if anything has changed

[analog zenith]

<@&509690795536941056> taking away CotA was a huge mistake. Not sure who needs to hear this but it’s probably going to cost you guys a lot by taking this away. This was, the single best event you guys had for most players in the game. Perhaps those who were F2P got some shards now and then, big deal. Those who spent for this event, didn’t necessarily spend when the event was active, but before in preparation. This is such a disappointment, and frankly, has caused this commander to play significantly less as a result, as well as halt any buying of packs. The one event I very much enjoyed and looked forward to is gone with no plans to do anything about. Your loss not mine. ✌🏽

[versed grotto]

Thats the problem with these events. People start saving up those certain things that would help them advance without spending. Its meant to be a 6 day spend event for the whales... Look at what they did with DTI and the flustercuck that was. And after the first Run of COTA they removed items whales had completed so no one else could score...

Its all about the Benjamins. Not about retaining their player base

[tiny hedge]

scopely being sneaky and finding waysto ruin the game and make the community more mad . first they remove spending maverick credits for maverick slb and make it so its only research even though the event says both. and then 32 hour peace shield ridiculous.

[sinful heart]

Welcome to the death spiral, where every Scoply action from here on out will do nothing but speed the end.

oh yeah cota removal was ridiculous too

it went in effect when it was announced, but some browsers were still cached with the old version

maybe a new update fixed it not sure.

[amber wyvern]

Are we supposed to have the wave defense defense event now?

I see the pass but not the event.

[verbal wharf]

WDBP = Wave Defense Battle Pass

[analog zenith]

I get what you’re saying, and that’s the same concern that Scoply had. What I am saying, is someone who spends way too much on this game in the first place, I tailored what I bought for that event. I know a lot of other players who also did the same. The rewards were good and it made the competition fun. They’ve taken that away and the rewards are terrible now for the random things that you do get. Frankly, my daily collection is better than what the rewards for first place is now in a lot of these events. That is beyond discussing and disappointing to the level that if they don’t wanna make things, eventful and fun for the community, not only or the f2p players, but the whales as you put it. There’s a lot of other games that are available out there that people can enjoy.

[acoustic token]

Got to love how the timers work, auto event complete hurt us because we had most done already and you put a update that killed it

[copper shadow]

I'm with ya on thst one. I'm in no way a whale and could barely be called a dolphin back when i was spending(stopped 3 yrs ago). I've never been happier with my choice of not spending on the dumpster fire of a game anymore even though I'm still playing it completely ftp now. I've gone from ops41-ops62 in this time with not even a battlepass bought. Scopley did do something that I have given them direct credit for me though. They allowed me to appreciate all of the older games I own on consoles and backwards compatible games a lot more. they allowed me to go and enjoy games that were actual games with endings and no micro transactions until I go bankrupt. They allowed me to actually keep my money and not just get a down-payment for a house but save up half of the cost to buy it outright so my mortgage is even better than it normally would be and I thank them for this. to think if they actually would have cared about the customers more I'd probably be broke and still paying rent instead of a mortgage and giving them even more money due to all the stuff out now compared to when I was spending but hey they chose their path so I chose mine.

[amber wyvern]

Ug, I'm going blame that one on the #StupidTimeChange ... Need more sleep.

Guess it's the territory one I was thinking that was and all.

[turbid coyote]

Please add mirror hostiles to the fkr maverick alliance task. Grinding actual faction hostiles is a waste of my time. Thanks

[proven sparrow]

I really would like to do this task this week but since you cant make the claim cooldown reset at the beginning of the week along with the tasks i might aswell just quit till next week

And why are the Alliance task targets so pathetically high!

[proven sparrow]

And why is the Solo Hunt - Aggregation hostiles while the Alliance is FKR ????
So we farm our solos and it does NOTHING to help towards the alliance task

[red rose]

I’m archiving account over the way CotA was handled. Might try coming back might not but the contempt they showed for the players here was just too much to stomach

They could have said “this will be the last CotA” or “going forward it will only reward epic shards from previous month” but instead they had to kill any chance for light spenders to succeed at something

[civic oak]

Event feedback: can't play in event or compete because can't login and do anything do to the loading screen

[median zenith]

My maverick task key refresh timing seems to be locked to the timing when I got my warp dive bar building to level 20 and pulled the first task key. Which is a day and a half into the 7 day cycle. It would be very helpful if the maverick task key refresh aligned itself with the start of the next cycle! I still have over 16 hours until I can activate my first solo task for this second weekly cycle, so I guess I will perpetually be at a one and a half day disadvantage??

[left dew]

Maybe you are able to fix it as soon as you reach 30. But your proposal sounds better.

[copper shadow]

oh thats by design scopley made it that way so you have to grind harder to make up for choosing a bad time to upgrade building. Also forces us to be on their system more which looks better on metrics to their board on activity reports after all.

[white rune]

If “time in game” is a concern for them, why would they eliminate the main series of events that people grind for. The CoTA wasn’t about the event itself, it was the daily grind to build up materials to purge during the monthly event. People I’ve talked to spoke about the event series as being the primary incentive for doing certain grinds: to have the mats to burn on earning new crew and missing crew.

[silk nexus]

The in-game event calendar for week 2 is gone. Can we get it back?

[copper shadow]

oh I agree just remember scopley never claimed they were smart only that they're trying to fix things and they've heard our feedback but not actually trying to fix stuff. After all it's easy to make a statement not always easy to back it up. With any of our statements though it's easy to back it up just gotta try to load up stfc and see all the stuff they can't fix rofl.

[stark warren]

So after nixing CotA we revert back to a mirror loot SLB with mediocre rewards. <@&509690795536941056> Backwards instead of forwards, mired with lag, boring events, terrible rewards. The end is neigh.

[placid basalt]

Why did you change mid-ops battlepass events with no warning? The list of events for mid-ops also disappeared? What are our other events going to be?

[sturdy crown]

That's a pretty dumb move, many players would have been waiting, or planning, for specific BP events to spend stuff.

[full portal]

It's true that Ferrengi event
1 day - buildings, 2 day - research, 3 day - ships up, 4 day officers.
was cancelled?

[jade mist]

Scopely doenst care about players in any way. They have proven that over and over

[terse harbor]

Well, only those that spend £££££s

[jade mist]

They only care about the ££, not about who spent it

[marsh fjord]

Stop throwing kill exiled events at us if you aren't going to make the level 34, 36, and 38 regular exiled hostiles spawn faster. I'm trying to get the reliant but you make it hard Scopely. I'm over here in server 56 dying of old age while I'm waiting on the regular hostiles to spawn. Get your game fixed Scopely. It can't be that hard.

[coral bane]

Cancelling previous events do NOT streamline our efforts; they very much hinder what we did for the cancelled events. Who’s stupid idea was this?

[marsh fjord]

Where are the regular exiled hostiles here Scopely? I killed them all earlier and then moved to the 36 system. I just looked at the 38 system again and there aren't any regular exiled hostiles there.

[marsh fjord]

Level 36 system isn't any better.

[terse harbor]

The Hunter ones score?

[harsh geode]

I really want to know the story here. Did they just run out of motivation or what? Is the plan seriously just to run the same event daily for the rest of the month?

[coral bane]

They probably dont know themselves.

[terse harbor]

Ops 51 and I still have the original BP events.

[marsh fjord]

I don't have the reliant so those destroy my ships

[marsh fjord]

I'm ops 44 and have a different BP event

[terse harbor]

Ah yes. No Reliant and you have to just hit the Survey ones and hope for the best. 😪

[forest shell]

Can you tell me what systems the 15 - 25 augments hostiles are in please

[sturdy crown]

This event is pretty pointless. My T4 Reliant needs Uncommon parts now, but I can only get Common from the rewards. Will these Schematics rollover until I can get the UC ones?

[sturdy crown]

In the old Augment systems, the Yellow area next to Klingon. Yarda is the highest level there.

[forest shell]

That's what we all think

Thank you 👍

[elfin nest]

Mirror Advancement Research SLB was not in the schedule of this arc. Cannot throw events in the middle like this. I used up all mats just 2 days ago. <@&509690795536941056>

[scenic thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/confetti-happy-birthday-surprise-celebrate-gif-17914580735358212384

[clever rampart]

Cerritos event isn't scoring <@&509690795536941056>

[elder warren]

Who the hell decided to change the battle pass events to be the same thing every single day?
I actually enjoyed focusing on a different thing each day so it didn't feel like the same constant grind

[mint hill]

Weird I'm level 44 and have uncommon ones in even greater numbers

[forest shell]

Lame battle pass now stinks 🦨😩

[haughty hearth]

That's where you messed up, always gotta save for an Event that will likely never come 😭

[elfin nest]

Yup...event with CoTA cancelled I am now saving for ship upgrade SLB coz that could be next

[sturdy crown]

I'm only Ops 35, UC are available from Ops 40 in-game. Pretty short sighted to only have Common as a reward if this is a one off event & not another option for something else that may be useful. If it's an ongoing one it's not so bad,

[warped grove]

Yeah but you're above Ops 40. Those of us 39 and under only have access to common parts.

lol jinx

[mint hill]

Oh

[proven sparrow]

So CoTA was removed because Scopley didnt want people to horde mats and not upgrade until the events come on anymore.

Don't this event just make that statement about CoTA void?

[neon elk]

Not sure about your ops, but at 54, the rewards for this event are rubbish. It isn't much incentive to spend stuff imo 😅

[neon elk]

I assume you're mid-high g6?

At 54 we don't even get g5 rare crystal, just unc and then a bunch of g4

[proven sparrow]

im ops 70. i have nothing i can spend to score on the event,
but looking at peoples scoring on it, you can tell people have been holding doing any MU research and scopley said they didnt want to do events anymore that made people hold off upgrading their accounts.
if that was the case this event wouldnt be here like CoTA

[neon elk]

No I agree it's clearly an attempt to incentivise currency dumping, but at some ops it's an easy pass 😅 swing and a miss there scopely

[red rose]

This mirror event is a classic example of why I archived my account. The stuff you spent yesterday suddenly has an slb. Surprise! Oh and no sms - only buying packs if you want to win.

[ember pilot]

i liked the COTA event better than these slbs because the rewards were way better

[sinful heart]

It isn’t any better at 66 either, but then NO SLB ever is. They are the worst way for a game to source stuff.

[white rune]

Except for the one they took out, you mean. Which was a great way to source stuff 😂😂😂

[azure field]

Mmm.....free stuff

[olive dawn]

That's why they axed it. Can't have players getting nice things for free when the game is in freefall and they need people to spend!

[sinful heart]

If you lean CoTA, it was not ideal either, but it was all we got. And you at least could plan for it and get something, a single slb just means you get bumpkiss without throwing away money.

[slow ermine]

so solo wave hostiles dont count toward the SMS? Seems broken as they are wave defense hostiles. I did two sets of waves and none counted

[small rover]

Can't view event schedule anymore in-game other than the latest impromptu change about this. lol... Before this, was able to see schedule about things like the Khanquest stuff. No more now.

[green hearth]

Retrieving...

[copper shadow]

well thats because we ain't even sure if we have a game anymore as last maintenance they did completely messed up the mechanics for many many players and no update on if a fix has been found only peace shields extended. the issues started 2 full days ago so take what ya will if you can get in game and actually play thats great many of us can't click anything before it freezes or kicks us outta game.

[small rover]

Yeah, sucks y'all're getting login issues after the maint 😬

[glass pewter]

Stop with the Aphelion unlock events if you aren't going to make sig-trit more accessible. The ship is cost prohibitive to upgrade or even repair with the current sourcing.

[stark warren]

Making the game far less enjoyable with terrible rewards isn’t the strategy I’d use for this freefall. And here we are another day with no events and terrible rewards. I’ll go back to playing a different game now. Maybe I’ll buy a pack for that because, well, it’s fun.

[coral bane]

And yet another unfinishable event at my lvl. So meta cannot be finished.
Scopely just dont care 😡

[stable bronze]

KQ: The Hidden Design - SMS.. P1 mission are already a PAIN to complete atleast add points for failed missions too.. Also not everyone has tons of away team speed ups..

This feels more like a cash grab

[cold spoke]

Same Each one takes 4 days and fail even in the 94 to 96% range normally for me

[coral bane]

Scopely is an total and utterly failing company. Their products are rubbish, their customer service is non existent. I would be very, very ashamed if i worked for them.

[cold spoke]

Not to mention the fact there are traits no officers I have unlocked have and no way of knowing officer traits till they are unlocked the whole priority away teams is lacking

[hazy shore]

what a scam how am I supposed to finish this in a new server as OP 29 I get 14% success what a troll such BS mission

[jade mist]

I wasnt even able to start one ever with a higher perc. chance than 40% to succesfully finish.
This event is quite offensive for a lvl30 player
<@&509690795536941056>
Pls inform scopely they should think before they throw garbage at us

Maybe the worst thing is the amount of time and effort put into meta events and then in the end suddenly not being able to finish them.

[cold spoke]

💯

[coral bane]

This game once was fun to play, but now it is mostly an annoyance. Purely due to scopely’s continuing incompetence and their total lack of respect to players having issues.

[placid basalt]

How am I supposed to be able to complete multiple ATAs that take 4+ days for a 1 day event? It’s ridiculous that there are no other scoring metrics.

[coral bane]

You are not. Its scopely’s way to offend you

[visual swallow]

gotta use speed ups

[placid basalt]

I can’t find any more speed ups to use

[visual swallow]

away teams tab

[placid basalt]

I claimed and used that, it didn’t give enough to finish the P1ATA

[visual swallow]

and augment faction store

[placid basalt]

I’m not saying I don’t know where speed ups come from, I’m saying I can’t get enough to finish a single P1ATA in a day, let alone more since I already bought all I could find

[hollow dragon]

I can't do the Hidden Design.. try twice and failed, and did not get any credit.

very low success rate here.

[visual swallow]

u gotta focus on always pulling the max chest there, till u get a reasonable amount of sigma speed ups... when u reach the balance point, u can pull minimum chest and u gonna be good... heres my stock

[placid basalt]

I’m g4, we don’t get sigma speed ups

[visual swallow]

mmm u should be getting the assignment sigma speed up... if u have the P1ATA research unlocked

[placid basalt]

You are so close to understanding why so many of us are complaining about the P1ATA successful completion being our only scoring metric for an SMS. There is no way to get enough speed ups to finish the event

This is what I could get from the augment store

[visual swallow]

I thought yall low level was also getting assignment sigma speed ups... sorry. cant remember if there was an op level lock to this type of sigma,

[jade mist]

Scopely apparently forgot too.
However there isnt a single sign scopely actually grasp their own game. Let alone their coding

[echo wedge]

No outpost events?

[visual swallow]

well, outpost hostiles arent working, so it sounds reasonable they cancel the event... tho they would to send out an information to the players... sadly, they arent any near of solving 'what concerns players'

[echo wedge]

I had 3 skipping outposts in a row, then changed location of my outpost, and it was fine. The bugged ones was the bottom right side outpost. Probably dosent mean much, but who knows...

in one of the 63 normal systems

[proven sparrow]

Officer XP?

[jade mist]

Scopely loves to annoy the player base

[cold spoke]

Am I missing something

[molten marlin]

those are the hostile names, not the system names

[cold spoke]

Ty wasn’t here for the arc just returned recently

[umbral apex]

Bad choice the game its so broken and bad . And lack of interest from scopely in hearing players .It doesn't worth the time playing it

[silk nexus]

The P1 away team missions are impossible to do for those in the 20's ops. Should also clarify the text that "complete" means succeed. Completing but failing a P1 away team mission doesn't count. Wasted 4 days of away team speedups just to find out.

[coral bane]

The next arc will be even worse. As we are used to now for several years

[umbral apex]

True .

[vivid delta]

<@&509690795536941056> could you please enlighten me what the reasoning is behind the horrendous decision to change the mid ops BP events?

Also why are the rewards so pathetic for the other throw away events? Is it the intention to get people to stop playing?

[boreal coyote]

Sorry if it’s been posted. But don’t we normally have events that pay this stiff out besides battle pass? I’m tracking to barely be able to get anything <@&509690795536941056>

[molten marlin]

cota gave the currency usually, but no cota, no currency besides the pass

[boreal coyote]

So are we just out a “normal” ferengi store then? In the very least feels like bad planning. At the worst, a further reduction in what has taken over old “normal“ catch up event stores. That was already worse in many ways . <@&509690795536941056> can you tell us if this was intentional?

[uneven jolt]

This is not a appropriate event for a ops 28. Should be possible to score with normal awayteam missions. As a strong 28 that win may SLB. This is just to hard for a ops 28

[hazy shore]

is not hard is impossible as a 29 I get 18% max with very strong officers

[placid basalt]

Could mid-ops please get our schedule for events back? <@&509690795536941056>

[molten marlin]

asking

[placid basalt]

Thank you

[lean nova]

I have all the possible research done (3/10 for health/att/def) at Ops 34 and with my best officers can get 60% success rate. Even then it's a 4-day mission so I'd have to buy multiple $99 packs in order to clear 3 in 24 hours.

[hazy shore]

You mean assuming it completes since u get no rewards for failure

[lean nova]

lol yeah, that's rolling way better than I have been rolling with a 60% success rate

[mint tulip]

I feel like mid ops are being punished this arc with low rewards, harder to accomplish event tasks and besides offering the Reliant bps the events are not worth paying to get done

[hazy shore]

Im in 719 new server there is no 51 so double middle finger for us 😄

[lean nova]

absolutely "just pay more or stop whining lol" is pretty much the feedback I've gotten

[hazy shore]

In Visa we trust

[tiny mirage]

<@&509690795536941056> One of my players is at OPS 55 in the first week, has completed the gift mission for the shop, Mission Maverick Day 1, but cannot play in the Maverick event because he is missing the Holodeck mission. What was it called and how do you get it? Anyone else have this problem?

[coarse iris]

Its so boring now since failing to run Cota events, when are we going to get something worth coming to play stfc?

Outposts are still broken, no events either.

[hasty crater]

yeah event wise this month is a desert

[boreal coyote]

@full swan is this ( the above ) being looked into or is it what it is this go around?

[dusty shell]

Can someone explain how I am suppose to do the Kahn event when I do not get P1 Away Missions?

[vivid delta]

Are mid ops seriously just getting this same event over and over again for the remainder of the BP?

All you have to do is log in once a day, complete your dailies and you will complete it.

How is that encouraging levelling up or even engaging in the game.

[uneven seal]

lol I couldn’t complete yesterday’s Khan Quest since that was over 400 ships. I didn’t have 20 days of away teams speedups to complete today’s one either.

[uncut sentinel]

I suspect it is due to the login issues that they opted to do this for a few days to help people.

[uncut sentinel]

I cannot even score on any P1 I have tons of speed ups

[woven fog]

same, i cant get one to pass, ive tried 4 today alone and each one failed. so yeah....dead day for me sadly

and i cant keep just flinging P1A missions cause of the lack of pioneer crests and ill be damned if im gonna spend real money on just some crests

[uneven jolt]

I don`t like the mixing of the reward in this

[uneven jolt]

I do not like the mixing of the Aphelion BP and Officer Depot Tokens. It should be a more clean Aphelion BP only or a mix of BP`s and miner parts Tri Cry rewards.

[cold spoke]

Looking again at this event and it’s poor thought out scoring and loss of respect for lower ops players it’s a huge relief I no longer buy Elite BP for better rewards and if I had bought this one it would be my absolute last purchase of anything

[harsh geode]

It feels like ages since mid-ops has had a research SLB. Last month’s recruitment SLBs had crappy rewards. It really is pretty frustrating.

[cold spoke]

20 days speed ups wasted all over 70% not one completed all fails not a single point but at least I tried keep not wasting anymore

[stark warren]

Good thing there are no new events, good rewards or engaging content to distract me from playing a different video game. I nominate myself for the new player advisory council.

[copper shadow]

lol well they could make a worse choice which I'm sure they would

[rapid yacht]

This is the week (COTA) that I would be purchasing the BP and speeding my progression (buildings/ships/research/sigma speed ups). Yes I hoard for the once a month COTA, but it provided decent rewards and gave me an incentive to at least buy the BP and spend a lot of mats, etc. Also the only time I could place in the top 10-15 on ANY SLB. This will be the first time I don't buy the BP - cant see a need for it.

[cobalt wyvern]

The in-game news for the schedule of events is no longer there.

[humble sleet]

Adding to this, CoA provided an important motivation to keep working on (read grind) the various ships that eat away at time.
To say nothing of encouraging growth and competition between players, I consistently chatted more with players (especially from other Alliances ) during the CoA week each Arc then the rest of month by a wide margin.

Scopley’s replacements feels not just demotivating but a bit insulting..
After having a series of SLB’s with real rewards providing just standard resources doesn’t just make me not want to score on that SLB but just not… well…. Play…

[stark warren]

Imagine if STFC was fun…

[humble sleet]

It was at one point…. Like a junky keep chasing that dream

[stark warren]

I’ve cut out about 60% of gameplay, went FTP and started playing another game. They know it’s dead. Why else would there be absolutely no new events? They’ll cook alliance tournaments next week

[small rover]

Woohoo, event schedule is restored for viewing!

[surreal warren]

Did you see a black cat right before it re-appeared..? 🙀

[lean nova]

is the [defeat hostiles] not scoring for anyone else in KQ?

[molten marlin]

you need to kill hostiles in the specific system

[lean nova]

really needs to be worded better:

Placards state:

PvP in Yesop | PvE

Description states:

"Score in this event by defeating level 30-39 (my ops bracket) players in system Yesop. Earn small points by defeating PvE hostiles."

[small rover]

https://tenor.com/maEVZ9i0FCt.gif

[placid basalt]

Thank you to the mods and community managers for getting the mid-ops event schedule back for us!!! I appreciate your help

[fluid gust]

why a literal bully the lower levels pvp event?
making ops50 players fight lvl40-44 players for khanquest! no scoring for fair pvp?

[amber bronze]

is CotA definitely gone? or maybe they just skipped a month? do we know for sure?

[red rose]

It’s definitely gone - that’s why I archived my account

Wasn’t willing to go back to spend something and pray they don’t drop an unscheduled event for it tomorrow

They didn’t want light spenders hoarding and then getting new epic
Officers f2p

[humble sleet]

Ironically that’s a mistake, as I know a number of players who spent money for the first time in months or years during the CoA’s..

sure most of the sales were Battlepasses, but I got x2 battlepasses in a row, for the first time in a year +, and theyve lost that from me

[red rose]

Oh I agree some players definitely spent - especially for mats one at the end - but it was POSSIBLE to do well without spending and that was the problem

For scopely

[humble sleet]

Scopley’s mindset here has been flawed from the start there in my opinion….

F2P “krill” are needed for the P2W “Whales” to feed on in a PvP based Online Game, no plankton for the krill and the whales starve,

[red rose]

You don’t need to convince me

Just vote me onto new PAC and I’ll explain it to them lol

[amber bronze]

I did enjoy that event - thanks for the info

[harsh peak]

Overall I like the Maverick tasks structure, but the scoring is brutal for a mixed ops alliance (maybe intentionally 🤔).

This wasn't fun for the 2 people having to get all the points, not fun for the 15 people trying their best but hardly scoring with the hostiles at their level, and not fun for the 60 people who don't even have tasks 😆

[left marlin]

<@&509690795536941056> Plz pass along my thx to the Overlords for putting the g7 FKR Rep packs and the Officer Depot tokens back into the Alliance Tournaments store 🙏🖖

[copper shadow]

oh I and others have tried to explain that to scopley and other ppl for 7yrs and well we still here trying to do it and nothings changed.

[vital wing]

<@&509690795536941056> Running an outpost event is unacceptable when they’re still skipping attackers. It’s also a disgrace that you haven’t fixed them yet

[molten marlin]

The event scores on hostiles because of that

[vital wing]

That’s neither here nor there. No events scoring on outposts should run until they’re fixed

[glass pewter]

Then they need to make it a hostile hunt with proper scoring. It’s just a middle finger to the players to run events for know broken content.

[proven sparrow]

Stop making the targets so high

[blissful scarab]

outpost event when it is still bugged ? 😂 🙈

[meager moss]

No station specials in the store?

[hasty crater]

your alliance just need to stop being lazy lol

[tacit zephyr]

Scopely is not content with having turned the game into a pay-to-win game; he is slowly turning it into a pay-to-play game.💩 💸 💸 💸

[amber bronze]

is the target 154k for all alliances, regardless of ops/alliance level/number of players? if so, that is fairly ridiculous. An alliance who only has a few people over 55 will never complete it. While an alliance with 20+ people Ops 71+ will probably complete it just by doing their daily FKR kill tasks. Surely it should be a sliding scale based on number of players in ops bands from 55 to 80, for each alliance.

[hollow lichen]

That's too much logic and smart thinking, it's just a flat target for all with the same scoring. Just copy paste it for everyone, repeat it over and over and wonder why people engage less and less

[copper shadow]

We as players understand this way of thinking. Scopley on the other hand doesn't understand this they think what's good for the average player (that they pull data from) is good for everyone and if everyone can't do it well then there's packs to progress or you don't. Not fair either way you look at it because not everyone has same metrics as others at same level but scopley has been doing this same dance since day 1 just now were used to it for the majority of us at least lol.

[simple helm]

i mean on young servers it just further encourages all 55+ into one group, reduces conflict, its short sighted/lazy

[slate coral]

You want the same loot for less effort? Or are you willing to do less for less rewards, in which case dont try to hit the last milestone. Its a group effort for group rewards, if you and your group doesnt want to put in the effort there is no reason you deserve the same amount of rewards.

[amber bronze]

An alliance with 30 x 70+ players can complete the event with no effort at all. An alliance with a handful of people 55-60 could grind 24/7 the whole week and not complete it. I have no problem with it being easier for a high level alliance, but it should scale to some extent so it is achievable.

[slate coral]

So same rewards or lesser rewards?

If you want the same rewards for scaled back effort you are just being lazy and entitled.

If you are willing to accept less rewards for less work, then just do what you can and reach whatever milestone you can.

Less effort for less rewards sounds fair

[amber bronze]

I just explained how a high level alliance can complete all the milestones with almost no effort, so you would have no problem with all alliances being able to get all rewards with almost no effort. Glad we agree /S

The FKR daily task once you get into G6 already has a system where you score points by killing FKRs. 1 point at your ops level, +2 points per level higher than your ops. You need 50 points to complete a daily task. So lets say we want the extra effort of 200 points per day per player. Thats 1400 points per player per week. At the start of each new week, each alliances goal to complete all milestones is calculated at number of players with a dive bar times 1400. If 1400 is too low you can raise it up, but it will require the same effort for the same reward for every alliance.

[fading crag]

Why have events that make us feel like we have to hold off upgrading ships or buildings and tiering up officers because there might be another event that requires those things?

It's not helping people get stronger and able to lvl up, it hinders growth.

Please stop doing those kinds of events.

[civic pasture]

you mean SLBs those are not meant to make people hoard "they hate hoarding" those are meant to get people to spend.

[fading crag]

Actually, people DO hoard for SLBs as well, but I was talking about SMS events like the current Forged by Khan (Heroic) - SMS.

Not everyone has disposable income, so they do what they can including hoard stuff so they can complete an event.

[civic pasture]

yes people do hoard (which is NOT what scopley wants) the "Heroic events" are ment to be hard or often impossible to do without spending money. they make these event specificly to get people to spend not for Free to play

[spark radish]

It wouldn't be so bad if G5 players could get to G6 space, you really need to hit at least mid G6 hostiles to score anyway decently in this one.

[surreal warren]

yes its the same point for every Alliance

[surreal warren]

this was not meant as a discussion about work/reward balancing.
this discussion was meant about undoable tasks and events i think.

with your argument less work=less reward i totally agree here.

but imagine Scopely releasing content that only 3% of 5% of the total player base are able to complete.
on my server no (zero, nada) Alliance was able to finish the "Echoes of Vger - AMS".
another complaint here: #💬-events-feedback message
this speaks volume to me.

this sounds out of touch to me to be fair and serves no purpose.

[proven sparrow]

FreelanceQ is talking rubbish, ignore him.
Hes in an alliance with 4x Ops 72 players and 2x Ops 71 players and 41x G6 members in his alliance
Coming on here all entitled because he is getting boosted by players that can score 35+ points per kill

He has no idea what it is like for alliances without G7 players, and having an alliance that have G5 players that are CAPPED at only being able to score 6 points per kill MAXIMUM due to Scopley Deep space locks

[sinful heart]

That scoply encourages some of the worst human traits for profit, on a Star Trek IP, is in an of itself pretty jarring to say the least, that so many people who play a Star Trek game are susceptible to and respond to them with gusto saddens me to my core.

[eager birch]

What's "fair" is making the effort for alliance tasks balanced across all alliances that can complete. It has NOTHING to do with rewards. In these tasks, the points and milestones are identical across all alliances... so an alliance that has more G6 and G7 players vs an alliance that has more G4 and G5 members has to apply less effort to get the same reward.... meanwhile the smaller alliance gets punished by either having to make the task a full-time job for those members high enough to hit enough qualifying hostiles to score, or just not even try. How is that fair? Implying someone wants less work for the same reward, simply because they are in a situation where the points are skewed against them, is being lazy, is the epitome of hubris. Not everyone pays their way through this game.

[slate coral]

So you want the same rewards i get without having to do what i do to get them?

You may want to look up the defenition of entitlement

[eager birch]

Lets play a game with math... since you obviously don't understand what these people are trying to say, and are instead jsut implying their whining and want to be lazy.... Lets start with this... What level ops are you? Do you have any G7 people in your alliance? How many G6? Im 65 and we have zero G7. We have 5 G6 players.

[surreal warren]

your question got already replied above, please read #💬-events-feedback message

[slate coral]

If your alliance has only 5 members that can make any progress on the event, why would they deserve the same rewards i and my alliance get? They are not putting forth the same effort

[surreal warren]

how about tasks/events that are balanced around the OPS levels of the Alliance members?

They are not putting forth the same effort
And with "effort" you are talking about money, right? 😄

[eager birch]

No, they are putting MORE effort in. If I have to destroy 2200 hostiles to score, and you only have to do a few dozen, then YOU are doing less effort for the same reward me and my alliance are earning. Do you now understand how effort works?

[slate coral]

Ftp, but go ahead and hate

[slate coral]

If i kill a hostile of a certain level i get the same points as u killing that hostile. Same effort for same rewards

[surreal warren]

Its okay to use money to accelerate thru the game. But your lack of understanding maths is outstanding here.

[eager birch]

You are making my point dude.... and your reinforcing your own ignorance... and lack of math skills. If an alliance of 20 people have to kill 20K hostiles and an alliance of 80 people have to kill 500, then the alliance with less people is spending more time and effort... so yes, in a game of unfairness, the alliance with less people deserve more reward.... but all we're asking for is reward based on scale.... not on unfair and unbalanced hostile counts.

[eager birch]

But that is not how these task work... cause you missing an important step. The final milestone. Yes, if you kill a 59 and I kill a 59, then we both get 5 points..... BUT this is an allaince task. So unless your doing the task all by yourself, your alliance is working on it together. So if your allaince has 5 level 71 players, you in reality only need to kill 20 of those level 59 hostiles.... cause your whales are holding you up. But in an allaince with no level 70's, then we have to kill them all by ourselves!!! They

[slate coral]

Look, all im saying is that if you and your alliance are only capable of doing 10 percent of the point totals, you really are only entitled to 10 percent of the loot that would be rewarded to an alliance that is able to do all of it.

That is the math

[eager birch]

We are not saying that its unfair on a player vs player basis....... that not the point cause as you say, if you kill a 59 and I do, we get thee same score. What everyone is saying is that overall... AS AN ALLIANCE TASK, its unbalanced and unfair cause alliances with more higher-level players have to do less work to get the same reward.

[slate coral]

Maybe thats your fault for being in a small alliance, merge or join a larger one with more players, and higher level ones.

[surreal warren]

victim blaming at its best

tl;dr
its all our fault, never Scopelys
/s

[sinful heart]

Mobile game played for fun, and them getting stuff isn’t a competition or taking anything away from YOU. That you speak of entitlement shows your entitlement.

[eager birch]

We have 78 people in our alliance dude....... the alliances with big-players either get there by paying... or by starting somewhere. You dont just happend into being a large, powerful alliance. If Scopley is going to offer content for all alliances, then it shoudl be fair for all alliances. Its not whining, its not entitlement, its not be lazy...... its simple fairness. You are simply being obtuse to be obtuse.. .and I dont have time to deal with guys with little-man syndrome who cant understand basic math and refuse to hear anything anyone else says.... now I need to move on before I say something really nasty.

[spark radish]

This is my Alliance , we're on track but it's painful. Just lucky all the other events are incredibly dull or we'd never find the time.

[nimble anvil]

the simplest answer is just that its intentional. Every kill hostiles leaderboard is based on level of hostiles. and if one group has people who have been here longer or just paid, how do ya make it fair to yours? Just "if (X) amount in alliance has paid on the game, they all get a different leaderboard" or based on time played?

[tacit zephyr]

This is the problem with the game: the whales think that just because they pay, they have more rights than free players. And they tell Scopely this: "Why do free players have the same rights as us who pay? Why should they get the same rewards as us?" And when we free players complain, they rush to defend Scopely with the same old arguments: "effort," refusing to admit that their only effort is using a credit card.

[nimble anvil]

Im a free player. Its not about "rights" there's nothing in the game that you aren't allowed to do because ya didnt pay afaik. But when spending = more power, its obviously going to have a benefit. People in my alliance joined near when the game came out, as free players, and are in the upper 50s for rank. Why should a newer player have the same power and score as them with hitting the same amount of hostiles?

You also didn't say a way of rebalancing it. Just "they use their credit cards :(" I know im not gonna be #1 on most solo leaderboards. And I don't care.

[slate coral]

Im a ftp who pushed forward instead of staying low level.

Why whould my effort be invalidated by lower level ftps who dont or wont put in the same effort?

Participation trophys arent something im comfortable with

[surreal warren]

there's nothing in the game that you aren't allowed to do because ya didnt pay afaik
afaik "the veil" is spenders only

[tacit zephyr]

A true, advanced "free-to-play" player should recognize the effort it took to climb to where they are. And at the same time, they should respect the effort of those who have just arrived, since they supposedly went through that same journey. If you immediately attack those who have just started because they are complaining, it makes me seriously doubt that you are truly advanced free-to-play players.

[proven sparrow]

You have no idea what you are talking about, Show me your contribution to your alliance and tell me your not being carried yourself.

We are saying that scopley need to lower the targets in total or increase the point scoring for lower level players

[nimble anvil]

assuming that "you can do the same things as spending players, it just takes longer" is attacking you is kinda wild. Show me one game, or just anything in life, where you can start brand new and beat the people who've been doin it for years and puttin money into it.

[nimble anvil]

Tbf a simpler solution to ask for would just be "make the points be 1 hostile=1 point, regardless of level" which there have been events with this format.

[shut geode]

If we have to do 1,000 quinquaginta trecentillion times borg solo armadas every week, then the same number of received credits must be increased or it remains pointless task 🥴

[slate coral]

Alternately, those low level players could level up so they can become useful contributors to their alliance, like i did.

Scopely has set things up to practically carry you to ops 70, you should take advantage of it.

[proven sparrow]

That would make more sense, 1 point per hostile killed regardless of level.
Maverik tasks are not XALB or ALB. they do not reward based on alliance ranking.

They are for the alliance to level up Maverik
Instead of having a few individuals having to no life the hell out of the event that are capable of hitting high to score on the event.

@slate coral Like you did? well put your money where your mouth is and show your contribution to the task compared to the rest of your alliance, your talking a big talk but not walking it.
Its people with your narrow mind that makes scopley not change their ways and keep making the game worse

[tacit zephyr]

That's not true. All Scopely wants is for players to level up without being prepared. If a player wants to level up and is ready to do so under good conditions, Scopely will do everything they can to prevent them from doing so. Because all they care about is getting you to pay.

[slate coral]

P2P whales want you to spend too much time focused on staying low level, that way you are low level easy prey for longer.

Can you get your loyalty badge on a daily basis? Next level is not that much tougher.

Heres a secret, if you are level 55 ops, you dont need to be the best level 55 in the game to hang at 56.

Thats the same for every other ops level in the game.

[surreal warren]

Scopely has set things up to practically carry you to ops 70, you should take advantage of it.
Leveling up in this game means its getting harder and more time consuming for you - not easier.
And its constantly raising the players frustration level to keep the pressure high to keep the player spending - or simply give up.

STFC doesnt value your time or money invested, its punishes everyone for doing so.
One great example is the faction store that gives items at less ratio the further you progress in faction standing.

tl;dr
To maintain fun while playing everyone is adviced to progress as slow as possible.

[spark radish]

Rushing people do make good Incursion Fodder.

[surreal warren]

But most people are used to Incursions nowadays and simply dont care anymore.
Another flawed idea and poor execution.

We lost some Incursions because a single player intentionally opened his base to enemy server. So the Effort of all participating players went down the toilet.

[proven sparrow]

If you cant spend 4+ hours per day playing the game then dont go G6 and 1 hour of your gameplay per day is spent alone on claiming chests

[surreal warren]

i normally need around 30mins to only claim, more 45mins if i dont rush here

[vivid delta]

Ah, you’re of those. The ones that live off other players.

I bet you’re the guy that, when hit by another player, you threaten them with the full wrath of your entire alliance but you’re really the troublemaker who is the weakest and contributes the least to your alliance 🤣

[surreal warren]

Everything in Incursion is either rigged or simply doesnt work as intended.

[spark radish]

Yep, it's flawed, but you can get trophies and credits from the XSLBs as well as server winning, and that is definitely helped by hunting people with a lot of paper power that isn't backed up.

[surreal warren]

There are some good aspects too ofcourse.

[spark radish]

Mostly it's pretty accurate to early 20th Century warfare, long periods of boredom followed by brief periods of something happening. The Loot Exocomps aren't bad though, I shall do some Borg Conquerors next time.

[surreal warren]

But i think having Incursions running while the actual state of the game is near to unplayable is insane.
The lag without having an Incursion running is already enough that most players reduced their gameplay to a minimum or rarely log in. On top of this there is a login bug and a good potion of active players are completely locked out of game.

[spark radish]

Well, I agree, obviously, but that's just how Scopely seems to like it.

[errant jetty]

I recommend the idea of stepping away from calling Faction related events FKR's. Having such an Moniker can be seen as offensive in a family setting. As this Discord Channel is supposed to be an Family Friendly Channel, I recommend just calling them Faction Reputation Events.

[hollow lichen]

scopely: we don't want you to hoard materials so we're stopping COTA.
Also scopely: here, a random upgrade slb which you only have a tiny fraction of a chance in if you hoard materials. But this time the top reward is only a few epic shards worth of tokens.

[tacit zephyr]

This is the result of not wanting to understand that parsley and basil are for seasoning food and not for seasoning the cigarettes one smokes.🤣

[errant jetty]

1. you're forgetting Catnip, and 2. what does that have anything to do with Events Feedback?

[tacit zephyr]

It's very simple: Scopely is completely detached from the reality of the Star Trek world and the player base of this game, which is why they release these events.

[fierce belfry]

The rewards for the events essentially replacing COTA need majorly beefed up.

[warm kestrel]

this is the worst event in the history of stfc. I've got 4k tokens. can't even get 1 officer shard

[wraith verge]

<@&509690795536941056> Is it really Apex Barrier Mitigation that's scoring for the Barrier Resilience SLB? It definitely looks more like critical damage instead?

[molten marlin]

The trick is getting the aquatic reptiles to trigger their super gun. The favor delays it, so you have to tweak your crew/ft and ship to have it hit.

[wraith verge]

Exactly, and that isn't scoring, this time you get much better scores when the gun isn't triggered and you survive. I am convinced scoring is not based on apex barrier mitigation this time. Everything that worked great last time, doesn't now. Willing to bet an Elite BP over it...

[keen egret]

I whole heartedly agree. To that end we will now refer to them as "mother FKR's" going forward. Everyone knows that mother is an important part of the family unit. 😋

[proven sparrow]

Btw who is going to be able to reach these solo targets every single week? What magic material income are we expecting to be able to spend that amount of mats

[keen egret]

You need to buy it, of course. At this point I'm surprised Scopely hasn't started charging us $99 per week to log into the game.

[amber bronze]

Is the heroic SMS missing?

[molten marlin]

not intended to have one

[copper shadow]

what a few more months I'd put money on it being implemented

[amber bronze]

You are advocating a model that primarily rewards PAST effort. Because you are higher level and in an alliance full of high level people, completing the milestone are relatively easy. I (and I suspect many other people here) are advocating a system that rewards players for their effort in the week that the event runs, relative to their current progression. The points system should give points for the FKR hostiles you kill based on the hostiles level relative to the player that killed them. Afterall, this is NEW content, and you should progress for the effort you put towards this new content - not effort that you expended progressing previous content. You have already been rewarded for that effort.

[grim notch]

Whales want you to lv so your in striking range but not figure out how to punch up

[spark radish]

I agree in general, but that would hard lock most G5 players to G5 content, and Ops 60 players would be screwed.

[amber bronze]

At certain ops levels it would be a bit harder or a bit easier to score points. Over time different members of your alliance will be able to score faster or slower at different times. Unless you are all at the same ops, it should average out, and the total number of points needed per alliance can take this into account.

[civic pasture]

target is manageable since you can just wait till the spend slb of that week and do it then plus it includes common mats. probably the easiest task of them all

[quasi swift]

This has to be the worst arc event store STFC has ever had, I've never seen one worse. This is why people get upset at basically pay to play events. It would have been less insulting if no event store was offered. 8k? So you basically had to pay to upgrade your building or you get nothing, oh sorry 8k for a couple of officer shards. But hey let's release another ship nobody will need in a two months because there's another ship on the way. Or let's make a 10th Battlepass but let's not give away one extra pixel because someone might advance without paying

[proven sparrow]

Yeah I am not going to bother with the Ferengi Battlepass anymore. With the removal of CoTA and no replacement for the lost income of Ferengi Store currency I have only managed to get a few ship parts chests and nothing else.

[tacit zephyr]

What I find funny is that they talk about effort, as if this were a workplace. It's a video game here; there's no effort at all. The only thing here is people who have too much time or too much money, and they think that those who have just arrived, who don't have time or money, don't have the same rights as them. It's very simple: it's probably the typical person who mistreats those who work with him and have just joined the company because they're new, citing seniority.

[harsh stag]

This new Arc is such a bore. Game used to be fun. Y'all taken the fun out and added stress frustration and hate. Nice job Y'all. You really should listen to us when we say you have ruined Star Trek for folks.. good job

[red rose]

I check in every few days to see if I made the right choice archiving my account - looks like I did. Since
They yanked CotA they did exactly what I thought they would do random, unscheduled upgrade slbs - no sms of course.

[copper shadow]

If we're being honest the game has really gone downhill since 2025 and its not just about content released or type of arcs. There's lack of communication at times(not all the time) there's removal of events that gave sourcing of officers or ship parts then brought back with less loot from the new hostiles than it was originally with different hostiles and hostile loot. There's so many more issue's resulting in lag of various types of game unable to be logged in of ship abilities not working of tabs freezing game or straight getting kicked out of game when you click on things. There's a removal of passwords and a move to an email based code which if used in conjunction with the password would actually make website store and our information more secure but no just a code that resets daily and anyone that has access to my email(either on purpose or hackers) now have access to more data to fraud my identity. All of these items on there own could sour a communities mood but all together I'm surprised there isnt 100x more hate in the game or on here. They don't care about star trek or us if we look at just the last 15 month's so why would they start listening to us now much less create an honest pac group like they're thinking of no offense to the mods and cm's but if scopley hasn't really listened to honest feedback in the past 7yrs it won't change if you get an honest group for the pac they'll just ignore the suggestions more or micro transaction us even more to death.

[spark radish]

Today's FC Upgrade event is a complete joke.

[short current]

3 same task again and again and again for Battle Pass , same inventiveness as USSR .

[limber stream]

Is the “victim” in the room with us now?

[limber stream]

You clearly don’t understand what constitutes “a right”.

[terse yoke]

STOP WEITH THE FIELD OPERATIONS S;READY THIS IS THE 5TH OR 6TH DAY IN A ROW OR THE SAME EVENT

STOP WITH THE FIELD OPERATIONS ALREADY this is the 5th or 6th day in a row of the same event do your jobs

[molten marlin]

You only need to post it once

[dark horizon]

Can you please align all event schedule resets for the same time ? It's beyond annoying to keep track when whichever event resets.

[short current]

Looks like the Battle Pass event…

[vestal cloak]

I suppose I'm late to the game complaining about CBorg Conquerer Solo alliance event (sheesh, what a mouthful). At 7 a week for 6 points (yes, I can only do the 60s) that's 42 points I can contribute. How many people do you think are in our alliance? -- the next level up is 8 points. However, no chance am I going to waste the super-scarce directives for 2 measley points and most likely die.

[hollow lichen]

just another day where a recycled COTA event without the matching SMS and meta event is being flung in our face, ready to ignore as the rewards are pure trash

[cold lintel]

Funny thing about CotA and now these events is I'm sure people aren't going to be happy if they bring CotA back in 2 weeks

Wouldn't be the first time tbh. Its probable that we complain about it going away, spend all we got on the recent SLB's (because FOMO) and then run into a CotA event bankrupt.

[round hare]

anyone else having scoring issues for the MM Vger Herioc?

[gloomy rain]

Ops 60, buffing with all I’ve got and using recommended crews. And still not even close to winning a 58…

[hollow lichen]

I think they expect you to have G5 epics to be fair at ops60, not trying to wing it with a crozier, a relativity (which has minimal damage output) and a gs31. But then again, for me I need full buffs to beat 64s as ops68 as these things are also not balanced the higher up you go.

[gloomy rain]

I’ll try with the epics, then, but ENT-D seems to do worse than Relativity :/

[pine pine]

Ops 36 - Reliant Tier 4, The rewards are useless to me, as I need the Uncommon U.S.S. Reliant Parts " Green ones" Why are the Uncommon U.S.S. Reliant Parts not offered as well as the common in the Event store ????

[keen egret]

I can do 58s with 5* epic ships. My DD usually dies but my roto and ent barely take damage. That's w/o any buffs and I'm at lvl 60 as well.

[keen egret]

Because that would make too much sense and Scopely only wants c-notes😋

[quaint parrot]

Because Reliant is related to Operation Level.

[pine pine]

So more crap added to the inventory that will not get used.

[visual swallow]

specialty ships arent the best choice to use... focus on FKR ships and Cube

[neon elk]

<@&509690795536941056> has anyone looked into/brought up the, what I can only assume is an error, messed up event schedule for ops51-54?
To explain: <g5 players have the mid-ops experience and events around ferengi event store.
Ops55+ have the maverick event store and events around that.
Ops51-54 have the ferengi store, but maverick events, and as a result are getting less event store currency than those below g5. Feels like someone messed up as a result of the minimum ops requirement for the new content being raised.

[flint dirge]

No events scoring currenlty after the temporary crash. Hopefully they fix this as directives are limited for the MM event needed for the meta.

[copper shadow]

scopley and fix sre 2 words that never go together better chance for them not messing up further

[jaunty heath]

Yup, waves not giving bp rewards and the research/scientific advancement isn't counting points or giving rewards either.

[stiff sierra]

Khanquest meta Pt.3 not scoring for me.

[warped grove]

heh, and i was just coming here to ask if anyone was having issues with the wave defense pass not scoring.

[marble walrus]

Do I understand the task correctly? To finish all goals I have to spend 15.5k epic G5 materials as Ops46 player?

[clever stirrup]

Please can the maverick faction fight XALB and maverick chains be reset at the same time, or the automatic scoring be turned off so we can’t claim until event reset. Thanks

[woven fog]

good lord, are things not scoring/taking forever to score? this is getting nuts tonight with the lag and then things taking like 15m to finally catch up at times

[stiff sierra]

Still no Khanquest meta Pt. 3 points

[quick pebble]

wth? try to hide the greed lol

[empty yew]

Light year lucky day wont score for me today because I finished all my dailies this morning like I always do

[charred briar]

Might want to check your levels you note for the in game announcement vs. the communication just put out here. Per the communication these should be 71+ not 55+

Be kind of hard for 55 players to do the open armadas.

[wraith sundial]

I have a question can anyone under lvl73 beat the open armadas?

As a group that is

[waxen totem]

Y’all. There are too many battlepasses. <@&509690795536941056>

[agile latch]

Thank you for the G7 events. BTW did you know that not all of g7 players are spenders? Heroics...

[wraith sundial]

Im guessing that's a no so why make the event for 71+ really

[hollow lichen]

Nice to first force people to spend directives for the mavericks sms and THEN do the heroic SMS needing those dirs, trying to squeeze ever more spending

[wraith sundial]

Crazy isn't it

[agile latch]

And on 19th there will be the heroic MM event spending new directives.

[sullen yew]

well, you can finish in the morning, still counts 😋

[wraith sundial]

They are really trying to grab every bit of money they can fast like the game will be gone tomorrow lol

[agile latch]

Maybe it will

[wraith sundial]

Maybe

I know alot of players that would celebrate lol

But i guess they can't answer my question best to ignore then I guess

I mean they should shut it down we have things that have been broken for years and they dont want to fix or are uncapable

[abstract oriole]

Finished mine after the event started and still didn't score. So it's just broken it seems

[wraith sundial]

Shocker 🤣

[vivid delta]

I’m genuinely curious why the BP was changed this repetitive event <@&509690795536941056>

Are you able to explain the reason because it just encourages less interaction with the game

[delicate wave]

Would it be possible to get an updated/revised CALENDAR of events, <@&509690795536941056> @full swan The calendar was not published in #💫-event-information and now it looks like there's conflicting date info for Warp Dive Bar and Conqueror armadas. What else is out of place from the original publish?

[lapis zephyr]

I like it. With all other things happening I’m quite happy not another whatever needs to be done.

Good call Scopes 💪

[woven fog]

they said something about an issue popping up when they first switched to this, i cant find it right now but if you scroll back about to friday i think it was thurs/fri when they started the newer/simpler events

[mint berry]

I am having trouble , can you give clarity on these event instructions

[teal tundra]

For the Scientific Advancement event, I don’t even have a way to score in the Bp.

[round jay]

i have not missed a challenge daily but i am short 50 points??????

[sand lintel]

starting yesterday, Daily goals have been intermittently been scoring, but I don't know if that includes challenge track stuff too. 🙁 youre about 100 points ahead of me but I dont have excelsior.

[dusky fox]

i appreciate the light year luck event, but wish it had started 5 days ago so that we'd get the St. Patrick's Day bling on St. Patrick's Day rather than 5 days later. (I liked that we got Valentine's Day bling in advance so we could enjoy on the holiday). thanks!

[opal smelt]

I wasn't able to do my borgs solos yesterday because I wasn't receiving my points for killing them will that prevent me from getting the meta at the end of so how do I get my meta when it's the game not giving me my points I already turned in a ticket

[noble aspen]

How do I earn Isokinetic Tokens?
I’m ops 14.

[dusky mortar]

Scopely slop

[cinder lotus]

Instead of complaining, I will simply ask Scopely questions. That way they can answer the questions rather than ignore statements:

1. why are there so many issues with lag between opening chests?
2. why is there a lag issue at all in the game?
3. why does the que with the Ka’Shira Artifact still malfunction in Wave defense and Mirror space?
4. why does the game shut down/reset in the middle of wave defenses?
5. why do players seem to be leaving the game in troves?
6. why does Scopely rank profits and packs above player satisfaction or game stability?

Let’s see if questions are actually answered by Scopely, or ignored in the name of avoiding responsibility and player retention.

[gray stirrup]

Daily goals aren't scoring. I'm sure it's lag-related.

[unique dome]

1. Chest opening lag mainly due to the game having to perform the 'rolls' for each one. The more you open at the same time the slightly longer the lag (and sometimes it just decides to show the results over multiple screens.
2. My claim is still that they have so many old things in many player's item list that it slow down the game. The more new items they add in, the worse it gets.
3. I don't think this will ever be completely figured out. It still malfunctions outside of those too.
4. More bugs
5. 'Droves' is kind of relative. It's increased, but it isn't if 20% of the players have left.
6. The business answer is "as long as they keep paying we won't change'.

Lastly, you will be ignored because this is feedback and they normally don't respond directly here to feedback.

[tacit zephyr]

I'll answer all those questions at once. For Scopely, fixing things is a waste of time; all they care about is releasing new content to squeeze money out of the players. Why? Because Scopely doesn't care about the game, they don't care about being part of Trek, and they don't care about the players. They only care about one thing: money, money, and more money.🤮

[vocal birch]

Same here, didn't miss anything but I'm short on points.

[honest gust]

Half the Allinace tournaments tasks just say Retrieving. Again with this stuff

[wet talon]

New 10k Tasks called Retieving

[stable bronze]

terrible rewards for the "armada hunter - slb".. would have been better if it was at least the higher tier exocomp from the premium instead of the standard utility exocomp pull

[winter geyser]

Here is some feedback: You are trying to say 20 Nog shards is worth 200k syndicate rep and a whole of mats/speedups? Nope. (You get 300k syndicate rep from the event, if you buy the syndicate elite pack, you get another 500k. The regular pack is 1M.) Where is the special pack for 2M???? This is beyond poor business practice. NOPE, NOPE, NOPE. There is no value here.

This one is on me, it was gas, what a dofenschmurt

[prisma gate]

please fix alliance tournament tab/store being choppy and skipping. once youre in the store, things are frozen for a second before they unfreeze. then store randomly likes to jump and cause you to spend credits on things you didnt want to. whys it gotta have macrostutters when loading stuff?

[ocean arch]

So we were told no COTA this month. so we spent our stuff. Now suddenly there is one in 6 days. Thanks for nothing as usual.

[woven kettle]

You tell everyone CotA is done. You run other events for people to spend down materials. Then surprise announce CotA is back. You realize what a slap in the face that is, right?

[leaden idol]

Funny how that works - announce CotA is ending, run spend events and then announce a "final run". Surely all a weird coincidence and the SLB milestones will be adjusted accordingly, right?

[ocean arch]

the game is running terribly, worse than ever, crashing twice as often, weird "network connection" resets all over the place, GS31 beam not working at all half the time or super slow when it does. Guess you're not spending the time and energy on fixing the game improving your communications or thinking ahead. Scopely you are a disaster. #impeach conor

[obsidian fossil]

Lets not forget that this run of cota will be running after the ferengi pass event is over. so its rewards are not going to give that currency.

[molten marlin]

Ferengi store will be open during the event

[ocean arch]

and by permanent removal they mean the same thing dressed differently with a new name in 2 months

[stark warren]

There never has been a gaming company that worked harder at alienating its player base. The level of creativity they demonstrate at objectively pushing away players if directed instead at making the game engaging would fundamentally make the game more popular and profitable

[cold lintel]

#💬-events-feedback message called it! 🤣

[stark warren]

I never thought for a moment it was gone forever. Which is why I didn’t spend any of the currency for it. Scopely is predictable. The most asinine, incomprehensible, brainless decision is always correct. Inevitable even

[opaque hawk]

are you kidding me, yall said no more chronicles so we have been spending those materials all month, and now you bring it back for another run....

[dusky mortar]

They said CotA was cancelled, then ran a special ship upgrade event, then SURPRISE CotA last run announced...

[tidal ember]

And yet, I didn't upgrade ships during their event. Rewards weren't worth it

[dusky mortar]

I figured since I was holding, and CotA was cancelled that there's no way Scoeply would DO SOMETHING EXACTLY LIKE THIS. I guess I gave them too much credit.

[cinder flame]

Why cant the Alliance Tournament Store show the credits we have? This has been an issue since AT started.

[golden kiln]

You guys are getting rid of chronicles of the credit card spenders permanently?! Cant wait to see what expensive event replaces it

[red rose]

For me the issue is are spend events going to be scheduled or pop up randomly and will there be sms events or just slbs going forward

I am done with upgrading something just to see an event for it the next day

I’m guessing the answer is no to sms and announcing things in advance but would like them to at least state that clearly so we can decide whether or not to continue playing

I still think it’s funny that when they last solicited me for feedback I went out of my way to say how much I liked CotA and they immediately cancelled it

[sand lintel]

the weird thig is if you jump off the store and then come back to it.... it does show... its pretty much like everything else... broken in some way

[cinder flame]

thanks, it took be a few tries but it eventually worked.

[sand geyser]

Your alliance tournament rewards remain hot garbage for g7 players.

You lied to us about COTA.

Live ops continues to hate the players. Y’all deserve worse than poop emojis.

[amber wyvern]

What sucks about this is that I did not get credit for the first one that I did, so I had to use the second to get it yesterday .... Meaning I have to speed up the next tomorrow to complete this.

[stone glade]

You lied to us about CotA

[mortal tartan]

Oh what a shock, announce CotA is done, pump spend events, then bring it back for a final cash grab...

[plucky cove]

Lolsob

[stone glade]

And talking about "trust" when ending the PAC - which was unknown to the very most players

[viscid thorn]

First you tell us there is no more COTA. Give us plenty of alternative spending events and then you tell us COTA is back? Pure BS. Im done with this.

[rigid crown]

When I naively thought that $copely can’t get a worse reputation and be less trustworthy, they’re caught bluntly lying to the community about CotA. Shame on such a company - what a disgrace of leadership 🤬🤦🏻‍♂️

[patent sail]

Looks like you cannot trust scopely announcements… bringing CotA back After announcing it wont run is Bad.

[stone quarry]

<@&509690795536941056> @near saddle @full swan
I love how Scopley ensured us players that Alliance Tournaments had improved when it came to tasks and the refreshing of tasks. I wasted 10k In refresh tokens and I kept getting the same 5 tasks over and over again. Kinda like swapping Sarris Invasions for VGER hostiles. Seems like it's improving for the "Heroic" spenders and nobody else.
Doesn't seem fair.

[mortal tartan]

Problem with CotA was that the poors figured out how to do well in it without falling for the other events designed to soak up the things CotA needs, so people weren't buying packs. Obviously they decided the solution was to blatantly lie to all the players to try and get one last desperate cash grab before they actually do retire the event in favour of something that encourages more spending.

[gusty pewter]

They should just be upfront about these things.
Any event marked heroic is expected to cost $$$. If we work out that you are completing the events for free then we will close those loopholes. So don't bother saving for events.

[blazing lava]

My spending on this game just stopped. You can find another sucker to spend money on this epic piece of garbage.

[white rune]

Yeah I was a consistent BP purchaser, but the way this was handled means I should probably save it and after a couple months use that money on new games on steam.

[olive orchid]

Great, on alliance tournament i had task to complete, it has gone 3pm here, but the tasks have reset at 3pm!? I feel robbed of points, so was there notification of early reset?

[molten marlin]

reset wasn't early, it resets the same time as it always has

[olive orchid]

3pm, im sure it was 4pm

[hollow lichen]

its because scopely can't figure out server time vs timezones, unlike any other game on the planet

[tacit zephyr]

What is this?
A. A new hostile ship.
B. A deck of hostiles.
C. A fan of hostiles.

[austere bay]

<@&509690795536941056> is that a typo for the UC scoring? 🤣

[molten marlin]

will ask

[austere bay]

In any case how is this event even supposed to be done? I mean you cant even buy directives afaik and with one UC start per week thats like months of collecting starts lol. Big fail on the design🤔

[versed token]

more like overlords finally becoming completely detached from reality

[random dagger]

Me, too on the Armada Coalition Heroic SMS - 400 UC Open Armada starts, 17 Epic Open Armada starts... I have 3 starts available. 🪼

[molten marlin]

They said the scoring is intended.

[terse yoke]

stop adding new things till youve fixed the broken things game is getting badly unplayable

[cold sandal]

<@&509690795536941056> Yeah, right. NOT going to do 30! waves without extended zoom which still DID NOT get fixed

[patent sail]

G7 Cost efficiency artefacts where?

[austere bay]

skip if i ever saw one lol.

[warm gyro]

Great. New events which people enjoy being binned to improve our experience. Yeah, right.

Meanwhile: Patch 23746 still hasn't fixed Kir Shara; you need to be in the zone you're already in when using Mirror particles; rescroll rescroll rescroll oh I've just accidentally bought 30,000 raw 3* gas with faction credits which I can mine at 30b per hour; retrieving...; Preparing...; fixed an overlapping bit of text on a mission we all did 5 years ago to gain a currency long-since archived; Patch 23747 still hasn't fixed Kir Shara.

[copper shadow]

d. A new scopley update

[ocean arch]

Why are you still giving old officers out for events/passes? Why is eData part of the waves pass still? Why are Miles shard spart of the lucky/st. patty's event? Why so many old officers in the multiphasic events? Why was the last flash pass full of non-recent officers? When will you update the admiral pull, which hasn't changed in over a year? All these things are doing is giving me and most others useless transport patterns. And re passes: are the TC pass prizes meant as a joke? They're pathetic and useless to almost everyone

[ocean arch]

Which, in fairness, is true for open armadas generally, because they are awful.

[surreal warren]

extended zoom only comes back after they found the reasons for the lags

what happened so far:

• players complained about bad lags on every server and its impossible now to keep ignoring it
• but they will not invest dev time to find the real reasons which are causing lags or simply cant find it because incompetence

Scopelys workaround: "work" on the symptoms only, like

• intentionally removing extended zoom feature
• less frequent updates of moving objects (causing ghost NPC ships and mines not refreshing or armadas not respawning)

because if you cant zoom out that much like it was possible in the past then you have less NPCs and bases/players visible on your screen

less visible targets/objects means = less network traffic = some marginal improvements on lag issues

[sinful heart]

I have absolutely NO incentive or interest in doing more than that. Those rewards will not make or break my fleets chances because ONE person doing their own tasks does more then every single days worth of these, and the personal rewards are pathetic and not worth the TIME!

Like pretty much EVERYTHING you push out.

This dumpster fire of a ride is out of pure morbid Gen X amusement for me at this point.

Btw, “fetch” isn’t gonna happen, when you gonna quit trying?

[limber stream]

Popular? 🙄 Everyone always think that what they enjoy everyone else does too. COTA was dumb. Glad you enjoyed it but I won’t miss it. I want to be able to spend resources as my play style dictates. Not, save them up so I don’t get shut out of an event.

[fervent panther]

Are Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas broken again?

[molten marlin]

broken how, are you actually using all 3 ship types?

[fervent panther]

Ugh ... nope. Ya got me.

[copper shadow]

if they gave newer officers out in these battlepasses or events then they'd make less money which is what they care about. Not about us having maxed officers that is irrelevant according to new metrics they keep giving the hostiles and stuff

[ocean arch]

I'm not saying BRAND NEW officers. But this has really become an issue in 2026, especially. There's a middle ground between FCM Data and Ent-E Data. A whole BUNCH of officers have come since.

[copper shadow]

yep but hostiles they bringing out now is nerfing snw crew as well it's getting to the point that every officer thats come out in last 3 years other than transogen officers is useless which is the only officers they offering in any recruit pack or event unless its a mortgage your house slb

[ocean arch]

I hear you but that's a different issue. I just want useful rewards from events again. How useful is debatable, but transport patterns are not useful.

[ashen notch]

This is par for the course. Introduce content without thinking how it affects the game long term, then just make it irrelevant later rather than make the game work with the already set mechanics. Perfect example is that most new hostiles cant be beamed by the GS, either by being immune to it or just too strong for it, thereby removing something that was actually useful to the players.

[copper shadow]

oh it's that way for too many things in game it seems that once ftp can get close enough to content for free or that said content gets strong enough then oops there it goes from either being sourced or like gs beam becomes useless or "laggy" to fire out of nowhere. Making it a pain to use or we just stop using it altogether and move to another ship.

like I'd love to blame the tin foil hat conspiracy theory but with so much past data in this game to draw from the patterns are everywhere and show the true story of everything even with all this so called truths scopley try to feed us

[tacit zephyr]

Scopely's policy is clear: to turn this game into a pay-to-play model. And they're demonstrating this with all the actions they've been taking since 2025. Everything that was beneficial to the player is being removed or nerfed, and that includes ships and old officers. Say what you will, it's crystal clear.

[valid knoll]

Blizzard Diablo's mobile game announcement?

[valid knoll]

@full swan has the best opportunity to troll us by pushing COTA rerun back to April 1st

[keen jolt]

If you are gonna run a Wave event, maybe fix the terrible lag before doing so again. Thnx in advance!

[slender narwhal]

Why would they do such a thing. 1:bad lag=waves event 2: incursion= multiple grind events. 3: P2P=pay 2 play events

[hexed hawk]

<@&509690795536941056> why don’t you fix this lag already waves are glitching so bad it just cost me 2 sets of solo elite directives. You run a wave event but the solo waves are virtually unplayable, and then you want us to spend money. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. FIX IT

[cinder flame]

Waves havent been working for 4 days and having an event that requires 30 of them has been MUCH HARDER than it should be. Why cant all these glitches and this terrible Lag be fixed?

[olive cradle]

G7 Armadas are broken and that didn't stop them from running an event that requires starting 400 of them

[merry violet]

Okay, you do it for those. I'm not G7 so I can't give feedback on that.

[glossy phoenix]

Waves are super buggy and lagging like crazy. Having to complete 30 waves is alot. And placing it on one of the busiest days for events. Please consider a different event.

[boreal coyote]

Cause they cap us at 4 starts of course!

They know it’s awfully painful to ship up for it and get all ready 😂

[atomic fossil]

... theyve also set alliance strength as a goal for the year...

[stone glade]

They lied to us about CotA.

[cinder oak]

I have discovered that for the Alliance Tournaments task "Defeat 2 epic solo armadas with Temporal Conduit Chaos Tech equipped* you need to make sure that the ship with this CT scores at least a hit.
I was using for solo armadas a ship with this CT and another much stronger ship with another CT. Because the stronger ship, which did not have the Temporal Conduit CT, was destroying the epic solo armadas in round 1 without giving a chance to the ship with the Temporal Conduit to fire any shots, I wasn't scoring in the AT task. I had to make sure that the only CT present was the Temporal Conduit to complete this AT task.

[boreal coyote]

It only needs to be on the largest ship.

[warm kestrel]

way too many tasks for one day

[halcyon goblet]

too much lag for one task

[surreal warren]

🤣 if Scopely exludes everything that is actually not working as intended then the only events would be login once per day to complete the event... oh wait

[warm gyro]

Protect the entity event is hilarious. If you could buy the directives you use with the rewards from that event you'd snap their hands off. Worth almost nothing. You wonder who on Earth comes up with this sometimes.

[dapper sleet]

Don't run arena events when there's so much performance issues. 8 min to join a fight due to reloading constantly. Then another one gets stuck on 0 and can't launch ships

[plush fulcrum]

If Scopely only ran events that worked properly, there would be no events!

[last lance]

And fix the GS31 beam ability. It shouldn’t take longer to fire its ships ability then it does to make a homemade loaf of bread.

[ocean crypt]

really, an armada event night amongst other things, and then you add a 24hr 6 waves event, wheres the time to do it, totally ridiculous, people do have to sleep , work, have meals, and you expect them to slave at the computer 24/7 just to get too many events done in an impossible timescale, shame on you

[queen verge]

The arena is riddled with every bug imaginable! Ghost ships keep respawning! Timers don't work! The game crashes when you leave the arena! It's a nightmare. <@&509690795536941056>

[winter geyser]

I just noticed. The regular syndicate pass is $9.99 on PC, but only $8.99 on mobile phone. Any reason for this?

[alpine niche]

When you run the Hirogen Hunter event, would you please put more than one Hunter per system??? Running all over that quadrant to complete that takes forever!

[quiet flume]

The higher Delta Quadrant systems have hunters for every hostile.

If you're in the much lower systems, bring a second ship to hit only the lost hostiles, freeing up the hostile count to spawn more hunters. If you only hit the hirogen hunters, eventually you'll fill the system with only lost type like you're seeing now.

[iron socket]

Two suggestions
1: there are too many events on Thursday
2: the gorn events need to switch to ship parts after you build the ship like all the other ones

[novel mango]

Arenas are terrible.

[tired elm]

For holy smokes..... doing waves (solo elite) is IMPOSSIBLE with the lag! Good thing the coding gets more refined each patch!

[spark radish]

Gorn event just gets you 200BP then stops, if you get some from another source it will keep going until it hits 200, but it's not a permanent thing like Cerritos. Thursday is a little crowded though, I agree.

[sharp pebble]

Anyone having issues with field training ?

?

[copper shadow]

that's like asking any of us if we've ever seen a bug or glitch in this game in the 7yrs its been running lol

[spark radish]

Indeed, you have to be specific about what bug you're looking for.

[stone quarry]

<@&509690795536941056> @near saddle @full swan What's with the Lag issues in Alliance Tournaments?

[warm kestrel]

sneak peak at the next comp pak

[sand lintel]

you honestly expect they would splurge for a whole box? maybe if they intended on cutting them up into 1cm squares 🙂

[warm kestrel]

it's in the "concepts of a plan" phase. should be released in about 2 weeks

[sand lintel]

just like the mantis comp

[elder warren]

Pretty hard missions to complete when the arena is closed for another 6 days

[warm kestrel]

sometimes I think about joining areans just to lose and get a few points but then I remember what time it is and realize it's over already

[civic thistle]

It is not fair to run two arena events when arenas are not active.

[sand geyser]

Infinite armadas 🤮

[fluid igloo]

I don't even have words for how dumb this is. Incursions has always been about raiding and you just remove it entirely from the server scores? what?

[sand fjord]

The whole box is split among the entire player base.

[slate coral]

To prioritize active participation, scoring will now center on PvP combat and Klingon Armadas and base raiding has been removed from the server-wide leaderboard.

Why only klingon armadas?

[digital pilot]

<@&509690795536941056> Does 106 have incursion?
Not listed in BYE but can't find a pairing either?
Unless i'm blind

[haughty minnow]

Welp, gonna miss out on the dailies event AGAIN because of the way its scheduled. I know it's working as intended, but it feels like the intent is to scam your customers out of the little rewards they actually did earn 🙄

(don't worry, I know it's not worth sending a ticket, but fewer and fewer things seem worth doing these days)

[valid kelp]

<@&509690795536941056> who's dumb idea was this?

[ocean crypt]

new pvp band sizes makes no difference whatsoever, a 71+ with 200b ship can still slaughter a 69 with a 20b ship, so who's helping who, your certainly not helping any player smaller than the bigger player, so once again exaggerated lies to make scopely feel better about themselves and the players as per usual,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, total farce, when move into any klingon armada space will be slaughtered instantly by the 200b ships

[novel mango]

The armadas thing is stupid, it’s just a cash grab.

[valid kelp]

And taking away base raiding as a scoring mechanic... 🐂💩

[haughty minnow]

12h is nice, though we probably need the full 24h away from game 😅

[raw adder]

<@&509690795536941056> Klingon armadas to score for incursion? Do they just payout regular armada loot or some new currency that will be worth chasing? Removing base raiding from scoring is a bad change also

[terse yoke]

for the list of AT task could u please fix it sowe r not seein task for a G that we are not im only ops 47 i should not b seeing g6 tasks

[grave garnet]

No bye week 3 days after our server merge? Thanks so much Scopely

[flat coral]

Can there be some clarification on the base raiding scoring being removed? Is that solely from the XSLB like stated in the announcement or is it altogether. There's a lot of confusion on my server where people are insisting that there is going to be no mechanic for scoring for base raids whatsoever and I stated that the scoring changes addressed are just under the folder with the SMS/SLB/ALB events and that the overarching incursions event that generally determines which server actually won incursions was not mentioned in the changes.

[flat coral]

We got incursions 3 days after a server merge too. I feel like this happens every time a server merges. We won. You can too. Start rallying the troops now. It's a team building exercise.

[marsh fjord]

They screwed up incursions bad! Bring back raiding or we show up at Scopely headquarters wielding flip flops.

[dense hollow]

And legal letters about bullying and the fact they dont do anything to stop it in fact lawyers seem to believe scopely are encouraging it

Amyway with no raiding no point crossing over and no point taking part. 24 hour shield and have a day/night session

[molten marlin]

raiding will not score for incursions, only for the xlsb

scoring will be based on killing klingon armadas and pvp kills

[pastel swan]

<@&509690795536941056> it might just be my oppinion but this #⭐-official-announcements message reads to me as:

1. we are unable to fix the massive lag on base raiding that occurred for the past 2 months -> so dont score it
2. booster pack on AWS performance is to expensive for 24h -> just go gown to 12h and make it 9am to 9pm on a saturday where almost no one can really participate since that’s family/friends/gardening/shopping time.

So, what the hack?

[dapper sleet]

You guys know that people have jobs to do right. 12h window is crazy crazy

[slate coral]

But why only klingons? Why not federation or romulan? Are they just racist?

[stone glade]

It's so cute that they think our main playing time is from 8 to 8

[stone glade]

Make it easier for the PvP whales to scan the few systems

[pastel swan]

I forgot one, sorry
3. how do we sell Armada-Packs für 99€ like in the good old days? -> let players waste them while doing pvp!
3.1 you all know UC launches wont count for didely squad right?

[fluid gust]

what G6 tasks are you seeing?
the G6-only tasks were turned into auto-scaling tasks, so you shouldn't be seeing any.

[boreal coyote]

<@&509690795536941056> I wonder if a players council would have had feed back on the incursions changes 🤣

[prisma gate]

double the scoring requirements to get the same amount of ODT's is bad and not even paired with an SLB. and not even a full unlock

[boreal coyote]

I have an SLB?

[prisma gate]

im also ops 42

[gentle peak]

Removing raiding from incursions as a scoring mechanic? Ya scopley won't be getting my money anymore

[steep nymph]

This is a arena event on steroids. The alliance that wins will be the one who has people who don't work daytime and can control the armada systems.

Many in my alliance have said they are not participating.

So incursions can die if this is scopelys best idea.

[sand lintel]

They've removed my whole interest in incursions (gathering Tritanium / Dilithium from another server)... but hey, they basically will have server resources to spare while they don't count every base raid in incursions scoring finally and that's really what all this is about -- they can't continue down server-resource intensive events anymore. Just look at how they have started spreading out all the events to start/stop at different times throughout the day. that definitely makes scoring at the end of events easier and less of a load on the servers by spreading out when different events end/"determine winners". it's all about realizing that their code is the ultimate issue in the game's issues (horribly expensive [server resource intense] events and scoring intensive issues). Plus, they can't seem to stop adding to the the horrible amount of bugs they have.

[quiet gulch]

i have an SLB at OPS39

images wont load properly, but yeah same event

[prisma gate]

very weird.... I dont have the SLB

[unique vigil]

Feels like the changed to incursion will only reduce participation.

Pvp bracked = bad. So many enjoyed hitting up. Good crewing allowed that sometimes...

[quiet gulch]

but yeah doubling the points to get th epieces...supa bad - ill agree with that

[quiet gulch]

the pvp bracket changes needed to happen, thats been discussed for a long time.
The other changes to incursions..... some were good- like adding new events to it. But the others bad...like removing the base raiding and shortening the time frame.

[valid kelp]

Just need a 12 hour shield

[fair wadi]

<@&509690795536941056> wtf is this incursion mess up? Instead of fixing the game yall destroy the only good thing you had. Incursions was fine shield or lose. Easy peasy focus on the gameplay. Y’all know what the problems are stop making new ones.

[jaunty hornet]

Scamley has time to redo the whole incursion but still can not fix the glitches and bugs that plague the game and push players to quit. Go figure.

[tame terrace]

<@&509690795536941056>s You have officially killed incursions

[tame terrace]

They have to do that to provide incursions because the game HAS so many problems. If arenas are any indication, incursions would crash the system

[manic crest]

Killing incursions haha. Thanks scoply... please the pve players by introducing more pve(aramdas) and taking away actual pvp event because nobody going to actually fight. Thanks... man, yall know how to really kill the game

At least release sigma raiding so pvp on my own server can actually happen again

[fair wadi]

Aren’t armadas everyday till your brain bleeds just the greatest?

[crimson otter]

<@&509690795536941056> Wow finally destroying one of the things that I enjoyed from this game!! Great way to kill off players from this gaming platform. Oh great fix on PVP banding I am sure Scopely has a 51 that can kill a level 70 great job! ( That’s Sarcasm just incase) and sure make 12 hours so limits everyone gaming availability and taking out base raiding from scoring. Who was the master brain on this one???

[tacit raven]

Here's an idea instead of listening to the minority of players that cried about incursions realize that the majority didn't and listen to the voices that didn't complain

Maybe let everybody who liked incursions get on one server or another and let the people who want to play Farmville go play Farmville somewhere else

[tame terrace]

I am going to explain how asinine this is in one sentence:

You don’t want your server to loose incursions, no one leave their base.

Try it first maybe we'll like it 😄

[tame terrace]

They aren’t doing it for that, my guess is game stability is so bad they can’t afford to do incursions. They don’t want tick people off though and say they aren’t doing them so this is their solution. Also sneakingly trying to make incursions a money grab. If the only way to score points is PvP and Klingon Armadas then hopefully people will spend money to get armada tokens so they can run more so their server will win. Scopely’s thought process on the whole thing is not hard to figure out. The only thing I can’t figure out is why specifically Klingons, only thing I can think of is that, for some reason, that part of the game can take the volume

[tacit raven]

I've been at war and seen players trying to do armadas and know how this goes those with the bigger ships can do the armadas those with the smaller ships cannot you just pick off people trying to do their armadas in Klingon space if you're not a whale you don't have a chance. Also I just started bringing my Klingon wrap up now I got to trash it if I can even do an armada in Klingon space against whales?

[woven fog]

im glad im not the only one that thought this. armada directives for FKR got cut like mid summer last year to the pittance you get now. and they push a LOT of FKR events for directives, this is just another way to pull in caseh from people buying directive packs. the OTHER thing, shortening the incursion to 12 hours also pulls down traffic (but imo not that much) and server strain. is it a good idea to change like this? no, i have a feeling this will be a HUGE kerfluffle with all these armadas going off in rapid succession

[tame terrace]

Idk, personally I won’t bother with the armadas. I refuse to buy their armada packs because there is no way I am paying $100 to do 3 (Epic) armadas. Do you realize that is like $33 an armada? Yeah….no. And I am not going to use my preciously saved Armada tokens for something that is every month. Also I think you get 1,750 tokens (in the pack) what on earth would you want tokens for half an armada for? That’s just…..🙄🙄🙄

[lone dragon]

So it's shields up for a day. Base raiding is what leads the scoring. Now they are saving the lazy people who can't bother to move and shield.

[lone dragon]

They really cut rare directives. I usually run 3-4 Epics and 7-8 uncommon for every 1 rare.

[stone glade]

Have you asked the PAC about the Incursion Changes? O wait ...

[woven fog]

yup that's literally Scopely's solution to everything (except for fixing the bugs), spend $

[hollow flare]

I get people don't like incursions but in what universe does it make sense to remove base raiding and replace it with armadas in a PVP event??????????????????

[boreal fox]

Yeah I've just got my Fed to Hero and parked it now going for Klingon so no way am I doing the Klingon Armada's. In any case 12 hrs of Incursion 8am to 8pm I`m just shielding for the whole event as I am out all day. At least with 24hrs you could fit some time in somewhere.

[cold lintel]

With the implementation with V'Ger hostiles and awarding points per XX damage dealt, you'd think they could do the same for resources raided. Leave scoring for raiding, but scale down the points awarded, or increase the amount of points for pvp.

[brave wigeon]

I am pretty sure you don't lose rep doing armadas.

[obsidian iron]

Yeah you dont lose rep doing armadas only gain rep but if you are someone that is trying to keep certain factions reps even just having points for doing klingon armadas and not the other factions could mess that up

[molten marlin]

the amount of rep gained from armadas is so minor that it shouldn't have an impact

[opaque hawk]

Seriously, 8am to 8pm. Means I'll have 1 hour outside work to participate. And normal people will have 3 hours??? What's even the point.
Ahh didn't realize it was next Saturday instead of a weekday like last month. Nevermind I got 0 hours to participate.

[surreal warren]

The only thing I can’t figure out is why specifically Klingons, only thing I can think of is that, for some reason, that part of the game can take the volume

1. after this incursion has ended and when players have gathered enough KLING directives they will surprise-switching to FED or ROM (edited) ECP or BORG armadas with the announcement of the next incursion
2. no one is able to prepare for this change because too short timewindow and they need to buy the other type of directives in the ingame store
3. ...
4. PROFIT!

evil laughs in ferenghi

[tame terrace]

Klingon, Federation, and Romulan are all the same directives

[surreal warren]

then ECP. but you got the idea

[wet hatch]

160,000 uncommon g3 mats at 35 to max the sms today is a little ridiculous guys.. thats more g3 mats than ive spent for the entirety of the time ive played game.

[surreal warren]

mats spending SMS is always inmpossible to complete, they shold have called it "heroic" instead. becasue its always a "spenders only" thing

[wet hatch]

it is a heroic but it should still be able to be completed

[surreal warren]

but i remember years ago it was possible and then they cranked all numbers up to make it impossible

[wet hatch]

its like yeah hold on let me build and fully upgrade 4 uss enterprises so i can win 20 shards of an officer

[opaque hawk]

I think I could run hundreds of FKR armadas maybe closer to 1000. Real issue is 12 hour run. Didn't they specifically get rid of the 12 hour events during incursions years ago because we told them how bad that was......
Scopely listens, they just forget what we said 2 seconds later ...

[surreal warren]

#alzheimerdementia

"we are listening..." = we heard you complaining, but we dont agree or care enough

everytime you read a blog here or an official statement from them you can read between the lines and get aware that everything is just marketing speech and dishonest = so much hot air

last "apology" from conor most likely was an AI scripted one

[thin peak]

<@&509690795536941056> So STFC is now becoming Farmville? do they just sit around a board table all day long asking each other how to upset their players the most? this is the third recognizable phase of a pump and dump if I've ever seen one!

[opaque hawk]

I'd bet you have to run a bunch of madas to make up 1 kill, also it's putting pve equipped ships in specific areas as targets on the opponents server. Base raiding was always a horrible scoring method

[wide nacelle]

Why is apac forced to have incisions on a Friday but everyone else gets it on Saturday?????

[upbeat tide]

People who work during those times won’t even be able to participate. Think I’m done with this bs

[mental relic]

Seriously scopely like for real for real...this incursion thing is literally the worst idea ever.

[late orchid]

Considering what im hearing in general chat in game about madas freezing and failing... maybe make sure armadas are working before making it a counting measure in incursions....

[grim notch]

They work better than raiding atm, why they are doing it IMO

[sick furnace]

Because it's sad, generally a bunch of higher level players kicking lower levels who can't fight back. PvP on this game is so out of whack it's about time they did something about it. Maybe read the room the majority don't enjoy incursions.

[hollow flare]

Right and you think those high levels are gonna let you within 10 feet of an armada? 😂

[sick furnace]

Says more about them not me...

[hollow flare]

How does it say more about them? it's a PVP event?

You're not meant to just sit there and let the enemy server score...

[sick furnace]

The fact that they can do whatever they like without any recourse and they take advantage of it. Not the people I really need to interact with to be honest.

[hollow flare]

Okay and what does that have to do with a PVP event having a PVE objective as the main way of scoring???? Which again, you still wont be able to do

[sick furnace]

PvP sould be optional not a fee for all with players attacking other players that can't fight back need to be restricted to certain areas or systems so the players that aren't interested in chest puffing can get on and play the game.

[hollow flare]

Great so you're just making up points I'm not even making and having an argument with yourself, great chat

[sick furnace]

No lost to me off you pop.

[marsh fjord]

What's the best way to prevent hurt feelings?

[sick furnace]

Nothing to do with hurt feelings, it's just not fun for some people. Currently people who don't like PVP just put a shield on and don't do anything for a day. That isn't good business sense. Creating an alternative so people can still PvP and the others can just get on with the game seems reasonable to be fair.

[marsh fjord]

So why remove the raiding component from the main scoring mechanism? Some of us actually enjoy raiding.

[sick furnace]

Right that's great but some don't so how do you fix that?

[marsh fjord]

Incursions used to be the single best event in the game. Then Dopely screwed that up

[sick furnace]

Maybe for you but not everyone...

[marsh fjord]

So let's stop doing all events. Someone somewhere is gonna hate events.

[sick furnace]

No don't be ridiculous, PvE events don't affect other players, PvP events do. It's not a bad thing that PvP is being balanced a bit more it's too far out of whack at the moment.

[marsh fjord]

So why aren't we leaving incursions to raiders and erase the pvp component? If you don't want to raid or be raided all you have to do is move and shield. They even warn us a week in advance.

[halcyon kite]

https://tenor.com/view/but-it-wasnt-was-it-it-didnt-right-it-wasnt-correct-it-wasnt-right-gif-16972521

[ancient vault]

If you dont want to participate, turtle up. Rest of us who play this game for the pvp aspect, like it

[sick furnace]

What about people who have real life situations and can't log in to shield and get shafted...

[sick furnace]

To be fair it ain't that far off!😂

[marsh fjord]

Resources can be rebuilt. As a person who has an invisible disability I can tell you that I don't whine about losing a little rss on the rare occasion that it happens.

And as I said we are warned a week in advance

If you can't shield before incursions then your server should have already looted your base

[halcyon kite]

Resources are so plentiful that it is stupid easy to rebuild and nobody actually needs to raid them. Events pay out a metric boatload nowadays, unlike when Incursions started.

[sick furnace]

Not me, if I get I get hit it's it's just a game but some people don't like as much as you don't like this change why is your option more valid that there's? If resources can be rebuilt easily why raid just rebuild them....

[marsh fjord]

So why is their opinion more valid than mine?

[sick furnace]

It's not but you are of the opinion that theirs isn't valid and I'm challenging you in it.

[grim notch]

He won't see the irony in what hes saying.

[marsh fjord]

Theirs*

[sick furnace]

No irony, I'm just challenging the option. What's wrong with that?

[marsh fjord]

Option or opinion?

[sick furnace]

Opinion obviously... 🙄

[marble walrus]

6k G7 epic material for Ops46? Easy!

[marsh fjord]

I'm just saying that the pvp range mechanism needed to be adjusted for a long time. Raiding did not need to be removed from the scoring mechanic.

[sick furnace]

Maybe they'll re-introduce it, maybe it has a negative effect on the player base. There is obviously a reason it's suspended this time around. And if it is from feedback it's obvious that more people aren't in favour vs those that do. It's not rocket science...

[grim notch]

Armadas being included isn't the issue as I am sure you would agree, but raiding being removed I agree with you 100%, its a core part of what incursions is, and I think they simply removed it because raiding is broken and they would rather continue on with incursions in this state rather than put in the man power to fix it on time and delay the next arc.

[marsh fjord]

I certainly hope this is the case. It would be a mistake to remove it permanently

[hollow flare]

You do that on 401 you're getting raided incursion or not 🤷

[halcyon goblet]

<@&509690795536941056> apac has 12+ timezones and we're only having 12 hours of incursions? also overlaps with arenas? not to mention ur 💩 changes made to scoring... i need what you guys are smoking over there

[opaque hawk]

Because raiding was always a crap way to score it. A single person can cost the whole thing. Should always have been scored off ship kills/power destroyed or something like that.

[open rampart]

raiding was a way to involve lower powered players. bigger ships crack and they raid. not a hard thing to deal with. all i hear you saying is you big sad that your big doesnt shield cus you all too weak to crack him and make him honest

[umbral ravine]

<@&509690795536941056> I don't understand this Incursion update:

To prioritize active participation, scoring will now center on PvP combat and Klingon Armadas, and base raiding has been removed from the server-wide leaderboard.,

what's the point then?, it turns it into arena

[gusty aurora]

New incursion is basically Arena. 🥺

[ocean crypt]

totally no comprehension of the meaning of fair play, for pvp in this game it would be ops where new ships are gained up to the ops lv before the next new ship and not any ops below the ops of where that ship was gained at, for example, ops 65 to 69 all share the same ships, similar to higher and lower ops lvs, now that would be true fair play for the players involved, but not as if you could even think this one through as you have no commen sense within those supposed brains inside your heads, more like fresh air only inside those heads that dare to come up these stupid ideas

[novel totem]

To be fair, the raiding mechanic (espcially for the server leaderboard) was broken from the first run of incursions.

[honest folio]

IMO...Scopely neutered a large amount of their player base, when it isn't a Saturday, those who work and have commute time will suffer, and those who don't work are likely the Whales....And you know Scopely is going to offer Armada packages, so it's just a scheme to make more money and alienate their F2P player base.

[errant jetty]

It would seem that no one in the Event Cabal had taken into an account of having most of the Officers from the TOS and WOK Timelines already Max Tiered/Leveled. Then there are those still looking for many of these Officers. Which only seem to be a select few. Giving access to maybe 3 or 4 of these Officers in the Recruit section and about the same amount in the Event "Awards" section. But wait... THERES MORE! A few of those WOK Officers require Pioneers Crest to Promote! Looks like those Crests are hard to earn or convert to.

[prisma gate]

still no lucky breeak recruit slb for me......

[wide dagger]

New incursions... Who makes the crazy decisions that a bracket from 51 to 65 is fair. Its not. 14 ops levels between pvp players makes very little change to the unfairness of the game. If it had been 4 above and below maybe. This is insane. I'm ops 56 and in arenas if a 65 comes in then I don't bother there is no point. Who ever decided these doesn't play or even have a clue about the game. I will not be taking part in such nonsense. Arenas are bad enough with its bad algorithm. But this is even worse.

[stoic linden]

PVP by it's nature is unfair - you either win by a margin or lose by a margin - if you spend you have an advantage if you know what you're doing anyway and that's always true. Bracket changes doesn't change much other than marginally improve the early game where people who've been around 2 years or more have to kinda leave them alone for a bit.

[dark horizon]

wow, good job on having an event for apex barrier against silent enemies when the existing hostiles are Hurak

[cinder flame]

<@&509690795536941056> Why did Vger hostiles change before reset (from Silent to Hurak)? Also isnt Sunday suppose to be Orion.

[gloomy hawk]

It's the weekend, they always leave Kevin in charge to hold the fort, and yes sometimes he touches buttons he shouldn't

[tacit zephyr]

The V'ger ships are a contradiction in terms. When you scan them, it says they're easy, and then they kill you instantly. It makes no sense. What they've done with the Orion ships is disgusting, forcing us to depend on other players. I can't make them because I can never find anyone to use the Mantis.💩

[tacit raven]

I think on it all comes down to it there were those who complained and those who were fine with the system and it doesn't matter that more were fine with the system because they didn't say they were fine with the system they are only listening to the voices of those who cried more people should have given positive feedback about what they liked instead of just crying about everything but yeah this messed it all up I'm done with incursion now

Did I say incursion I meant the 12-hour long one-sided arena match that they have made

[hidden glade]

Why didn't you just announce that Incursions is to be removed? Instead you remove THE fundamental scoring mechanic because your too incompetent to balance the scoring. A massive part of the PVP element was defending raids. Made it huge fun..now who cares it doesn't cost anything. Ofcourse defending team mates will still happen but it's lost the jeopardy. Bravo in killing another fun event👏. If your intention is to alienate your player base at every turn your doing a bang up job👍🤡

[warm kestrel]

the game within the game is us trying to have fun while scopely figures out what we enjoy and then removes it from the game. it's about time to uninstall

[surreal warren]

more people should have given positive feedback about what they liked instead of just crying about everything
never ever tell Scopely what you like as a player or they will remove it instantly or simply paywalling it

just one example: CotA

hey Scopely i begin to enjoy the lag and all the annoying bugs feature you have put in the game recently.

i also enjoy every event where i am ranked against players with way higher OPS that makes it impossible to score properly without spending. also the events you give me that are impossible to do motivate me to invest more time playing...

keep up the good work. xoxo

||maybe it works||

[tacit zephyr]

Many people complained about how badly the Incursions were handled, and that's why you call them crybabies. And now you're the one crying because they've made changes you don't like. It's ironic.

[tacit zephyr]

In my opinion, I think they should use dedicated servers for Incursions. That's where you'd really see the players who enjoy Incursions, as opposed to those who use them as an excuse to bully smaller players or bases they otherwise couldn't attack. Although I think they don't do that because they know that two servers would be enough for all the players who want to Incursions.

[stoic linden]

Why does 3rd place get more Sigma Trit than 2nd?

[fluid gust]

who had the bright idea to schedule a mirror universe event while mirror universe is bugged?

[surreal warren]

they nerfed payout for first and second place but forgot to nerf the third place?
(dont mind me, im just guessing the best case scenario here)

[wanton anvil]

The changes to incursions are not going to generate participation. The PvP brackets are still too wide for fair competition.
Are arenas popular enough to merit making incursions into 12 hr arena matches? I think incursions will be another event I can ignore.

[amber grove]

If CotA is 24th and Ferengi gone on 23th... the rewards wouldn't be Ferengi Token, i hope it's not trash

[molten marlin]

Ferengi store will be running during cota

[surreal warren]

hey arsenic 👋

do you know what currency will be needed in the next CotA?

[molten marlin]

no

[surreal warren]

okay, thank you and have a nice sunday 👍

[atomic fossil]

the amount of garbage tasks in the alliance tournament, for real points, is oppressing and depressing. just going round and round with the same bs tasks. spent probably 50-60k (at least, + teammates spends) of the refresh token between yesterday and today.

[tame terrace]

It says incursions are the 27th and. 28th. 27th is Friday, does that mean no arenas? 🤨🤨

[odd dock]

you think scopely even bothered to check?

[tame terrace]

Also if you are going to “fix” something could you PLEASE put some sort of timed out function in public arena squads….If the leader hasn’t clicked “ready” after a period of five minutes, boot them from arenas (or maybe just make it a function that the leader has to click ready for them to show up in the lists of open squads….that actually may be easier?)

[tame terrace]

Unfortunately no….that’s why I asked.

[stable bronze]

oh supprise supprise.. having a spend regular directives slb before incursion, when we now have to spend them for incrusion to score... looks like incruion is turning into another cashgrab event

[errant jetty]

Interesting that Marla McGivers, Navi, Pan, nor Rima can be found in the Recruit or Event Awards areas so as to finding the ways necessary to Tier them up. Not even listed under the Factions Recruit Exchanges. Whats with that?

[tame terrace]

🤣🤣🤣. I already caught on to that….just from the fact that they are using armadas to score points and it is happening every month. Someone is hoping people buy the armada packs and armada speed up packs…..Sorry, never as they are now. The ONLY thing fun abt incursions is hunting for that one base with lots of rss whose shield dropped. Everyone works together regardless of alliance (at least on our server).

I’m just going to park my ships, throw up a shield, and read a book this incursion.

[sand lintel]

and scopely can then claim success... "Look server load is down 5000%, we succeeded in driving the player base away"

[stable bronze]

then they merge servers and go, look server population is up and we cut our cost down

[tame terrace]

We provided incursions so no can’t complain that we didn’t and we don’t have to provide comp packs 🤣🤣

I am almost insulted Scopely thinks we are so oblivious we can’t see through their smoke screen🙄🙄

[sand lintel]

but ultimately those comp packs were Krap... they might as well not have given anything

[tame terrace]

Well there is that….but it killed Scopely to even do that much 🤣🤣🤣

[thin peak]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-tax-guy-verohallinto-crystal-ball-kristallipallo-future-gif-20470121

I am predicting that this is going to be the worst incursions ever!

[surreal warren]

no objection on this

[cinder flame]

Waves are still broke, please fix

[noble aspen]

Something extremely important appears to be missing from the interim schedule again. Everyone wants this, and it actually works. Easy way to foster goodwill from the players.

[stark warren]

Shouldn’t we be having an outpost pass this interim?

[tame terrace]

What I would really love to see is two servers mutually agree to never leave their base. Wonder what Scopely would do with a tied score of zero. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[surreal warren]

everybody looses ofc

[stark warren]

So… the outpost BP?
