Gets me worried I mis-calculated or something!
Didn't get it, and store is still there only contains some NS bps.
store is closed down on server 011
@fossil mist Monday the D3s will be distributed
And my glitched tokens were never returned :(
whats up with countless delays it finished the 3th then they said when event store closes now its monday whats nekst ? btw its monday alraidy can u be more precize with times in what world zone ?
Looks like they re-added the 35 blueprint box of the northstar to the event store for the people who wanted it
Still no Red D3 😦
If you look in the shipyard they added it at the very end after Valkis.
No D3 on my server yet
@ornate trellis @prime gulch Broke mining nodes, G2 crystal still in level 35 klingon space, no traders in level 30 plus space, when will the patches to fix these issues actually fix these issues?
@ornate trellis @prime gulch can you please increase the freight capacity of the North Star? I just bought it at Level 25 and it feels kinda useless so short before the Horizon, since it has much lesser capacity than any other Tier 3 ship... That doesn't make sense and the classification as "freighter" doesn't fit well here.
Can somebody explain why act of war price is not there and no specific info??
@random igloo They did and I remember I had 4bps already those are gone though doesn't rally matter as I have a Saladin anyways, wish I could give away my D3 prize or get uncommon stuff.
@unique sparrow won't happen, it's intended to be like that
@vagrant topaz just a question. You posted that the award of the red d3 will be given after the event store closes.
Any news about that as the event store seems to be closed, but still nothing happened?
@maiden ibex awaiting an update, will announce as soon as we know
thx. not that i'm waiting for it.... but i'm waiting for it 😂 😂
#metoo
Today event in my server. On FR obiviosly french allaiance guy was taken 4am off sittieng on empty node. He came morning and killed me with north star while I took bakc it with kumari and placed my miner again there.
Then he asked hes friend to come who is level 29 to kill me.
I provided 20 minutes him to leave or we start 20 killings of lesser team members of FR clan.
He did not, I tried to kill hes 300k ship about 4 times strike but not a change gave him 15% damamge only. So we continued to kille all level FR alliance members about 25 because then the dood tried to kill my base.
Happy mining event everybody!
Basically because I struk him he knew that my base is down so he sent to my base horizon but fortunately he was layzy and I noticed base attack and put shield on.
I always love these mining event because some players do not respects allaiance or server rules and then get their big boys to help
They lie to their team members that I didnt hit 0 node and He was just updated the node. That is 4am during the night.
LOL
Happay gaming!
@gilded edge so what is it's pupose for players with a Horizon? A full leveled Envoy seem to be the better Match for mining
I think the mining event is a thinly veiled PvP event. I would rather we just do a pvp event.
@opal stump thinly? i would argue the opposite! I don't think i have repaired my ships so many times compared to other events, this happens only during mining events!
it just seems inane to have a mining event with broken nodes in the first place
should've been more points for each type to compensate for the number of broken nodes, but oh well. that'd be thinking outside the box.
HELLO SCOPLEY abother event finished and still no red d3 giveaway
That refining bonus round sucked. My whole alliance is pissed. Well done
New gas mining one day event has better rewards than the 3 day long mining event... lol
Yeah, i feel like i just wasted 3 days of my life stressing about mining...only to have yet ANOTHER mining event with better rewards. I'm too burned out to participate.
Also, because we weren't able to see actual numerical goals for the bonus refining (3500, 24k, 150k) unless i missed them somewhere, i'm now only BARELY able to take advantage of it.
Ffs scopely.
- Give us a break between eventa
- Pvp events suck. Last time you gave out peace shields, how about that again!
Great event @ornate trellis , same as the last one, but probably even better! I must commend your creativity and ingenuity at developing those. Big kudos to the dev department responsible for that!
\scarcasm off
Thank god the mining event is over. It should be safe to do my Federation mining dailies again........
Well at least it's not a ranked event, so I have a chance to compete........
Well, at least it's short.
PVP events will only work (and by "work", i mean "not make everyone miserable except the strongest 3 players on the server) if the pvp level restrictions are narrowed. I have nearly everything maxed out at level 25, and the fact that a level 31 player ships that are 3-4x as strong as mine can kill me is absurd. And I'm able to hit level 18 ships, which is just as absurd. The power gaps between levels are HUGE in this game. We should only be able to hit players 1 or maybe even 2 levels above and below us. Anymore than that, the power difference just makes it silly.
@kindred aurora Think again - Fed gas is the target now lol
omg am I sick of mining.
Honestly, are you guys trying to make people stop playing? This event is awful and yet another few days where i won't be able to complete mining dailies.
OMG another mining event aimed at the high level players with big ships. Absolutely ridiculous
so much for the bonus refines, 150k crystal for a 3x batch. ZERO rares. disappointed, but not surprised really. Will try again in 10 hrs with a 2x batch. Not optimistic.
Good day to be one of the lucky few around a bugged planet eh?
since there is only a single day of the bonus refines, why not bump up the chances of actually getting a rare
I need 3, but ONE would have been nice.
@wooden portal up your refinery level, you'll get more rares
it's upped to max 😃
hahah
but they want feedback, so here it is..."you suck" lol
they don't want THAT kind of feedback. They want the "we like how you XXX" feedback.
and especially the "I spent $$$ because I loved the game so much" feedback
(Sarcasm on) great job devs! Only federation reputation members get the defend and mine, turning an orderly server into chaos(sarcasm off)
i hope it will be only this 24 hours
Ya i hope so too
Events like these are making me think real hard about deleting this game
This is scam one day prices 3 times bigger then 3 days event
Same. Its not even kill people on your factions 3* nodes, it's just kill any other ships. I'm taking the week off and I'll see if i can be bothered to play again on Friday..
Word broken about red d3
Guessing it will be 3 days 1 for each faction but it's a free for all cluster fuck!!!
Another mining related event. 👎
well 3 days no mining
my miners survive for 5 minutes 😄
i am waiting for romulan pvp event to back the favour
So even no info ?? Just starting event no nothing
thank god they took it down
Roll it back
that last war event wore me out, then only to be followed up by a mining event. I need a break between these things!
What a joke i get killed 20 times trying to do the gas mining event they they take it down
@prime gulch why’d it disappear?
@ornate trellis WHERE ARE ARE RED D3 !!!!!!!! Why you do events without announcing them first stop treating people like they do not have personal life!!!!!
Promised ACT OF WAR PRICE WHERE IS IT
Event cancelled well done scopley!!!!
Events have to be announced!!!!!
Maybe cancel event before we spent 20 repair speed ups trying to complete it jerks
Some compensation would be nice @prime gulch
That’ll be the day....
I'm just glad it's gone. The quick response makes me happy enough.
Compensation 😂
We just got confirmation the event was not intended to go live today and it was in fact a mistake.
Translation: We want to give you all a few days to recover from the last event before we shatter your reality.
All the fun to look forward to...
Resume discussing how much you like the game now.
@vagrant topaz i suggest a loyalty chest full of repair speedups to compensate for the mess yall created
Alright, just to be clear.
I am a player and volunteer.
I can give no compensation 😃
Thanks for wasting my time scopely....i will spend the next month nor wasting my money!!!!
But I'll bring it up to the peole who can
@vagrant topaz Oh, you can give me compensation 😉
@vagrant topaz We appreciate you. It's the "people who can" we don't particularly care for.
brown-chicken-brown-cow!
I have not heard that line in a long time
lol
i like to keep it in the 80s and 90s.
i'm comfortable there.
you know, with my tight-rolled jeans and rayon shirts.
Here’s some event feedback: fire whoever plans your events.
Where the event go
@vagrant topaz and can you give info that people who wasted their time on Act of war are waiting for prices ??
Are you referring to the D3 that is supposed to be given out?
D3 has been cancelled everyone will be given a FreeFlower instead 😂
👍
The one ship that was supposed to be given to best people on server yes this one
The one reward postponed and not speaking about it
@vagrant topaz really discuss how much we like the game? I will get right on that when y'all fix all the bugs and balance it out
I was being sarcastic.
@raven sluice The D3 is supposed to be distributed sometime "today". As we all know time is relative. So this can be tricky.
@ornate trellis another premature event seems to be a common occurrence
I'm usually traveling near or around light speed so relativity messes things up for me.
Where did the killing gas events go
The event was not supposed to go-live today and it was in fact a mistake.
Well that sucks I was out to get revenge from the last event where everyone blew up my miners
Lol
As for constructive feedback, I feel the following changes would've made it better:
-
All 3* resources and factions are involved at the same time.
So that no 1 region/resource is absolutely dominated upon. -
You fight for the faction you have the highest points with.
So you participate for 1 leaderboard and the spoils are spread further over the playerbase. -
Kills only count in Federation/Romulan/Klingon controlled systems.
This so that there are still safe-havens for players who don't want to partake in the event,
but do want to continue progression, even if it's limited to par/trit/dil -
Attacks involving a base are excluded.
-
Attacks involving ships of 1 Stars (*) are excluded.
(Realta, Orion Corvette and ECS Fortunate ) -
Points are calculated in a fairer fashion, allow 5 points as baseline per battle +/- OPS difference.
Calculation:
WinnerOperationsLevel - LoserOperationsLevel = Result
Baseline - Result = TotalPoints
if (TotalPoints < 0) TotalPoints = 0.{270.000} [Ship] (27) vs {32.000} [Ship] (20)
{VICTORIOUS} [Ship] (27) | {DEFEATED} [Ship] (20)
27 - 20 = 7
5 - 7 = -2 = 0 Points gained.{32.000} [Ship] (20) vs {22.000} [Ship] (23)
{VICTORIOUS} [Ship] (20) | {DEFEATED} [Ship] (23)
20 - 23 = -3
5 - -3 = 8 Points gained.{32.000} [Ship] (20) vs {32.000} [Ship] (20)
{VICTORIOUS} [Ship] (20) | {DEFEATED} [Ship] (20)
20 - 20 = 0
5 - 0 = 5 Points gained.{32.000} [Ship] (20) vs {12.000} [Ship] (15)
{VICTORIOUS} [Ship] (20) | {DEFEATED} [Ship] (15)
20 - 15 = 5
5 - 5 = 0 Points gained.
This way the lower the defending ship's level, the less interesting of a target it becomes and the reverse is true also.
All in favour? Tap that like button !
I like it but a level 24 can have a pretty big ship if he tiered and leveled his kumari to max giving him an advantage for points on a level 30 with maxed same ship , research being better at 30 gives battle advantage though
It's just a step in right direction for now. The maths should stay simple so people can calculate on their own 😃
Yea the balance ingame has Been broken a long time lol
Ugggghhh HOW ARE.YOU GOING TO START AN EVENT I ACTUALLY LIKE THEN END IT IMMEDIATELY!!
I burned through a lot of Jellyfish upgrade package lat because I was out of trit (NS upgrades). I was #10ish when event was canceled. Also lost a 24 hr peace shield. A bunch of our guys were also 0-cargo’d off 3* nodes and lost their Daily Goals. I bought through iOS, so taking this to Apple if Scopely can’t fix this
hey everyone - I posted this on General but obviously should do it here. Apart from that there were no rewards and no info - What did you think of the event mechanics? What would you change and how did it feel? (Constructive stuff please no "it sux", "you suck" etc)
@prime gulch it was nice idea, but you should make it only for 3 rss mining systems
Should be
- better PvP drops
- limited to zones that contain the resource in conflict - no points for elsewhere
- Faction credits instead of XP for shards on fully promoted officers
PvP drops should be tied to the system and power of targets, similar to the PvE drops (hence there needs to be a correction to stuff like Act of War - 2* explorer parts for killing something with over 2million power? c'mon.....)
XP is hard to come by at higher levels, but the amount you get for shard conversions is paltry. That would be nice if raised.
Possibly giving more level-set rewards like other events have?
Definitely need to remove the PvP kill credit for attacking a station and succeeding regarding this event.
@vagrant topaz @prime gulch john had some great suggestions
@prime gulch And the reward are better to be faction credits. That is one more channel to earn them
Keep it coming, this is good stuff. I'm compiling everything for the team
@prime gulch as you probably are aware most players on my server follow a ROE so an event like this dissolves the Rules of Engagement everyone is trying to follow. Even a 1/2 hour of that event was all out havok. The wars it created will be raging on for weeks... i enjoy events and love PVP but this event is not the way to instill PVP. If you want to encourage PVP please do not aim it at miner
What about introducing a new (time limited for event) character that if used on ship basically takes you out of the event ie prevents you being hit or Max's your protected cargo this way people who don't want to partake could use it to carry on mining - and to stop abuse of said character basically making you immune to hits if you should attempt to attack another ship while that character is on board you are guaranteed defeat? It might appease those that want to just do grind as normal.
@prime gulch now if yall want a PVP event i would suggest to not give points for ships under 50k power that should should prevent people just killing miners and encourage miner defense as the event was trying to do
Pfffffffff
You guys are childish tested with friend from allied fraction
We just hit each other 150 times in 10 minutes both had 150 points useless
Sense of it - none
Four people will make packt and they will be untouchable
On my server this was not happening we were legit just cleaning sectors
Just check my logs ... there is no same hit ... just random players getting smashed
And I was the 2nd in rank
We should have different rules for different servers , mine did not exploit if yours did ok you guys dont get paid
My name in game is STAR LORD [UK]
TBH I think it all just boils down to the disgrepancy with the leveling - let's face it level 27s being able to hit lvl 20s is just unfair as the growth paths are so rigidly set a lvl 20 will not even with all the tiering up and upgrades achievable at that level be able to hit or fend off anyone 7 or even 4 levels above.
@prime gulch ANY kill event will be won by win trading, no honest player will ever win. You will just get people agreeing to kill each others ships. The mining part, yes, but then its just another mining event, any pvp kill event is worthless.
Soooo about red D3😂 😂
where is the D3
1 m $ question
Gas mining event, wow just wow, you give the lower level players the task of mining but the higher levels get the kill event, do you want to chase all your new customer away?
Personally I say keep the event as it is.. gives players a chance to step outside their RoE and ravage the galaxy without concern of social backlash.. Forces war that can easily be ended by the event ending... GIVE IT BACK!
DEVS are high, launch an event and than cancel it during the event...... its like expropriation without compensation!!!!
Not bothered about getting killed it is part of the game, its not getting the info about it happening.
Sooo red D3 is coming on Monday but they say which Monday ??
You guys have actual Rules of Engagement.... Mine doesn't.
Yep ROE in ours is 90% observed by the top 50 or so alliances - quite simple but it works - No Hitting Empty Miners and that's it - Empty Miners on depleted RSS Tiles are a grey area Ok to hit if you send a message first is the official rule on ours but nobody bothers - all seem happy with this
I actually think this could be a decent event with slight modifications.
- pvp points only awarded in the gas/ore/crystal faction systems
- points based of damage done instead of kills.
I mean who wouldnt wanna team up to take out that dreaded horizon/northstar/k'vort and or warships of the top 5 alliances that everyone loves to hate?
Cross posted in general discussion also.
@prime gulch thank you for getting the Red D3 to us! One question - we were told it would be coming to us as either T8 or T9.... What happened? Are they planning on dropping the rss to us to upgrade it? Or was that nixed at the last minute?
The event seemed structured fine as it was. Heck, everything you've been promoting has been under the guise of act of war.. all the people with their RoE have ruined that concept.. give us the PVP event so we can have fun with it. Base his, miner hits, warship hits. Make all fair game.. put a level range on it if you want, but give us the challenge. Having to mine and run, picking a tactical staging grounds.
@ @fossil mist I was jokingly hoping the red d3 would be tiered up, sorry if you hung on my joke 😂
Ok what about others ??
😒
No, I thought you were serious because you know - it made sense. Seeing as I already have a T8 D3.
@vagrant topaz the ship was given to all ?? I won on my server but still no D3
@vagrant topaz got his a full 20mins or so earlier than me, I actually thought I miscalculated 😂
Give it time to go through all the servers, or if your like me restart constantly and swear at your phone
Yes, I can confirm I received it. Distribution doesn't appear to be automatic but someone doing it by hand.
And really just tier 1?? 😦
The prize was always just the blueprints, any other thoughts were just wishful thinking
well tell the guy manually handing them out to manually hand out 3,000 UC 3* crystal and 1,000 R 3* crystal to each person as well.
hehe
then it would be worth the 30 hours of time I put into it.
And yes, I am a #ungratefulwinnerbrat
i though it would be bit better than tier 1 D3 aswell killing so manny bosses so i would win and what i get is a glofied envoy
give it up, they aren't going to do anything about it. they barely gave the thing out as it is.
I won't be tiering it beyond T2 since I have a Saladin. It does look pretty. But saving all crystal as secondary resource for Enterprise.
@prime gulch Please think about giving those all guys material to tier it up then it will be something special we do not have uncommon stuff to tier up another ship
so mutch uncommen is needed i cant lvl base or ships for days/Weeks
and have plenty RSS
Scopely doesnt do anything that doesnt generate profit for them. They even neutered the mining event that was actually beneficial to players by limiting the bonus refinery to just one day. It doesnt evenatter the feedback you guys provide.. scopely will just find another way to make the game more difficult, less fun and cost more.
Yeah got my D3 also but got a T5 saladin so give me something else pretty plx lol or let me give it to somebody else.
I don't believe what i am reading actually. You all got a ship, one for Every server. Doesnt that make it special enough? I d be glad to have one, so anyone who's not happy with it can give his to me. 😁
Our server hasnt been awarded the promised D3 as yet!
They have been trickling in. If they don’t arrive by tomorrow submit a ticket
3 star uncommon is a joke even with bonus refinery, 20-30 uncommon for 150k refined. The resource requirements is extreme in the game, but hey ok just spend a few hundred pounds and your lucky if you break 100-150uncommon. Absolute rip off. Should be ashamed.
lvl 24 (and lvl 24 refinery): 3x 150k batches and 3x 20(the double one) and only a few rare gas .. again no crystals
this is getting rather tiresome
I’ve seen the videos of the founders server - they very clearly have a solid system and give unc the same way they do at G2 - once you get up to decent lvls the amounts and rise as do the ability to attempts for multiple (3x) chances at the roll rates (1750/12k). This is likely why people don’t quit at the point 25-27 where your need for uncommon mats gets ridiculous. Well how is it ridiculous? from 20-30 up to 60 unc for research at lower lvls (already stupid) now every major upgrade requires 60-150 unc. If you are lucky to get 3-4 per 12k every 10 hrs you basically can research or build structures once a month at lvl 25 until you spend money? While people who will spend will be lvl 30 plus?
Nice event, how about your make it like this everyday all day and allow the FTP people actually play the game?
too much mining aspect i think, star treck is not about mining.. To add a mining aspect is a good improvements, but it's getting too much for my point of view
spending two hours per day taking care of survey in order to make dailies, and only when mining event is gone (when mining event is here, its probably three hours, with the phone close to me)
Refinery bonus event needed to be longer than a day.
I think the 24hour, with 3 possible refines isn’t too bad. But it should happen at regular intervals.
That way we could plan to save up if we wanted to
2M officer points at level 30 to get these rewards? Seriously @prime gulch play your own damn game and see how ridiculous this is.
Utter junk
65k Steel, 16k dil, lol.
It is 1 step forward, 10 steps backward, but dont worry, “they are listening”. To what tho? Spotify I guess.
Are you ohueli tam?
Refining bonus Crystal Algorithm in particular is broken. How is it I was able to get 10+ rare gas and 10+ rare ore, but not a single rare crystal???
i got not even one rare. so your yield is not so bad ... 😂 😂
Why are we getting 8hr events that start at midnight local time, and finish before you either see them, or get a chance to start/finish them? Please sync events to local time zones when people are actually on line and playing, not sleeping!!!!!
That ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Yes please!
In the Station Event, do we have a points for each building at each level? Player has no idea how that is calculated or which one to upgrade to hit the milestone.
pvp and hostile events deplete my dil supply in less than a day, and mining dil at its current rates is seriously flawed at an unconcievable low rate. i decided to just skip the last two dil abusing events and figured i came out way ahead in resources. the prizes of tokens may of been nice for those with hordes of dil. but for me i just didnt see any balance or fair exchange for resources expended in order to acquire those mass event tokens. i finally found the qoute that most appropriately fits these perticular events -- from war games movie--- "the only way to win is not to play"
so frustrated with refinery bonus. This last one, I got in 7 crystal refines (3x and two 2x's) and not a single rare. In the previous bonus refine, I got in around 14 refines and only 1 rare. It isn't much of a bonus is it? Spend 194k crystal for some uncommons....very very disappointed and annoyed.
@timid falcon agreed. I have also upgrades some buildings and gotten NO points for them. Some buildings are apparently not worth anything at all. I just don't participate now in the buildings evens or the research events because I can't tell how much reward I am getting
The new limited time events go in the right direction, with 4M Steel reward instead of 500k-1M, but it is still a drop in the ocean. My Dilithium Vault upgrade which is a prerequisite for lvl 29 Shipyard is 28M!!! Our server is picked clean, mining is useless and so the only way to progress, ( not to progress quicker, but to progress at all!) is the credit card. This cannot be the solution. You have to give the players reasonable PVE options for progress!
The whole concept of ship XP needs reworking. Make XP from kills count towards events, and allow ships to keep accruing XP for events at max level. Without both of these the only way to participate in these events is to build ships you don't need, and buy ship XP. While i'm fine with people do that if they want first place, the last thing this game needs is more reasons for most players not to bother taking part at all.
Yeah but Ship XP is stupidly broken so it would need to be fixed first. Exampling killing a romulan trader level 24 one time will net you 123 xp the next time you might get 243 it makes no sense how they assign xp values to kills.
@chrome dust For some mystery reason, it shows the XP of the previous combat. So if you hit just 24s, you'll get the same value, usually, except on the first (if you hit a 23 or other, previously)
@obtuse urchin not true at all I’ve hit multiple 24 traders right after each other all different values
Yes you get different Xp values hitting the same type of mob. One hit for a 26 trader 400 another 180 exp there is no consistency and you do not get exp increases from officers that is broken.
@chrome dust @gaunt mulch OK, just haven't experienced that myself. Will watch closely next daily run
I want new elite fighting event! Give us some recources that we do not need to raid bases so much...
4.4 million parsteel when generator can do 1,6M that is nearly 3M of bases riding done today. I used tho 1M token to gather 4.9M to update officer building.
@obtuse urchin @gaunt mulch I feel like you get different xp when the enemy has been predamaged.
And sometimes xp coupled for 2 kills if you do them really close in time.
and updating kumari takes 1.6M tirtaniuma each or 2.2M fuck how much raiding needs to be done.
all of it
@ornate trellis @prime gulch Now that I have John Harrison(Khan) how the hell do I level him up?
wait for the next event ofc
He appears to only be upgradeable via events right now.
I think Harrison was one of the biggest mistakes ro release thus far.
Throws the hostile hunting balance towards ships (or a ship, Saladin) that can do big turn1 damage.
Hmm, maybe. I've never used him since my Saladin gains no actual benefit farming with him since I target ending the fight i the first round. If you go more than 1 round then he provides an advantage. Then again, battleships aren't known for their shields.
@vagrant topaz Harrison namely ends the fights in first round more effectively than any other officer.
Specifically, he did nothing for me because I was ending the fight in one round anyway.
Zero advantage. Was better increasing dodge and using chen
@vagrant topaz Harrison provides almost no advantage for beyond round 1.
I was better off improving mitigation since I was ending the fight prior to harrison in one round
@vagrant topaz he does, when you can end fights in round 1 but against 3-4 levels higher opponents.
I was just trying to reduce the one weapon's shot.
@vagrant topaz You are correct that if you always end the fight in one shot, Harrison has no use and better to go with stuff like Gray Uhura, Chen, etc. that do a good job in mitigation.
Yep, but if you are at edge of going 1-2 rounds Harrison can put an end to that.
Or if you have to punch up
I’m just saying you can punch a lot higher level enemies than you could before Harrison was available.
And those enemies are only available for a very specific combination.
I used him on the intrepid against boss explorers.
Weapon damage wording sounds like getting 20% only on base value.
Something like Decius should pass him by round 4 and run away pretty quickly after that.
It's really a joke from Scopely! if a level 20 player buys a package for 100 euros he gets half a shopping cart with resources buys a level 24 players for 100 euros he gets a full shopping cart with resources for the same money in the same store and now comes the best. Going to buy a level 29 player and spend 100 euros at Scopely in the store he gets for the same money what the 20s and 24s has paid 2 shopping baskets full of resources! says Scopely spins actually?
😡
the thinking is that higher levels need more resources therefore to maintain a sense of value pack contents increase as you level up
seeing as a lv29 pack makes you angry i won't show you a lv37 pack....
End off day the problem is because Latinum is the only currency and it cant be used for everything, its like basic game mechanism you have in most game.
How much UC ore in 37 base pack? Like 150?
you need a p2w currency and then a in game currency that everyone should be able to grind.
141 @sleek zealot
Its not that hard just go see what other successful game dos, could be done in other aspect off the game to, i littrely dont understand why the dev team have a hard time to fix this game.
Two fk weeks without a proper event? I started playing October, should be possible to make a plan for the events?
Ta
So is Scopley not doing the Loyalty System now? It was there when they first put the new announcement out. And now it is gone 😭
Just do the supermario thing. Leave and rejoin alliance over and over. There is no cooldoen, everyone does it. Never have to use speedups
Loyalty system gone and par vault sizes halved 🤣
@finite loom Should get more news about it hopefully today likely repost to add more details than canned idea
The April Elite chests . Will players that cant afford to buy the pack be given the opportunity to earn Elite tokens in game ?
I doubt it. Didn't happen with the march ones.
They could give 3 days free token, servers need rss
Did anyone else not get a limited time event Just now (eur)?
@prime gulch I have missing elite chest coin, i have asked in game over a week ago, no reply. Please advise
@gilded jackal it's an officer one I think, you sure you didn't max it out already?
Yep... all of mine to the right was times out... its all gone n over now anyway.. thanks tho @buoyant tulip
Does anyone knows what events will follow an when?
new Khan crew .... giving feedback now so you fix it in time for release - make ship/crew avail. to the little guys ... aka sub ops 20 <@&509691205798592532>
<@&509691205798592532> and maybe some bonus resources we can use at our levels for those of us that have been around for a while
Ooooh, @still nymph, I like that idea!
@topaz sphinx hey, any update on the loyalty system?
Negative. :/
Dang
@violet tangle the difference is research levels between you and the other player
Cam
Can’t be that. I am 28, one is a 25, i have all my research and he hasn’t finished his
Mine is the lower #
Kevin maybe he has some prime research you don't. ^_^m
it 100% is based on your own research and upgrades
shows you what you get when the ships gets out of the shipyard, could be useful to do a tiny bit of research before waiving the law flag like that 😃
I have a question about the race to 20 event. The event was like 2 days and I started upgrading to 20 with a day left in event. So I get nothing for upgrading to 20 or does it have to finish upgrading which takes 4 days.
I feel I should get the 5000 points.
@restive smelt I checked that, i have every research completed that is possible for level 28. Every single person i checked below me with research still outstanding, has a higher strength ship. In the BP ship field.. they are just crooks. If you look at the empty systems, most have already realized this
@violet tangle I'm ops lvl 29. Saladin shows 252229 in the ship construction page. I expect that to increase when I upgrade hangar to 29.
@obtuse urchin The one showing 235k is ops 24, i am ops 28
Could you lower a daily faction rep event a bit? Jumped from 15 to 30M once passed 500k rep. Seems way to high to finish it.
@violet tangle A lvl27 ops at 242798 (full research). A lvl 27 (research incomplete) at 226405.
So your lvl 24 is better than that lvl 27. Any chance you have overlooked some research or buildings (like the hangar or the periphal buildings of the R&D center) ?
As an example, tha tlvl27 has a maxed envoy which is 43009 with zero crew on board
What's your maxed envoy without crew?
@obtuse urchin No chance. I have finished every research that exists. I do this before i level my ops every time
OK understood. But note that your Saladin figure is higher than that lvl 27 I posted, so you aren't being singled-out and it's definately research and building related
@violet tangle I'm level 21 so I hope by time I'm able to build it it will be higher
will there be a maintainence on the 16 APR? or is it just an on/off switch like events? <@&509691205798592532>
I'm assuming there will be a maintenance on the 16th, but I've had no confirmation @odd dock
@obtuse urchin How can it be research and building related when my Saladin at level 28 is lower than someone’s at level 24 who hasn’t completed all their research, not to mention the research i have completed is 4 levels above anything he has.
Have u posted pics of both already @violet tangle ?
Assume same tier, same upgrades, same bridge and crew?
@sleek zealot i have posted several. They don’t have crews as they are in the shipyard of each and none have been built... this is the root of the strength confusion.
Have you compared other interceptor base stats with this player. Also, has he done any fed only research?
Mine is 251 but im a lot further on research
Oh yeah and hanger, sure you have hanger and other buildings that affect ships levelled? Not all about research
@violet tangle Two options: Either you are absolutely right and Scopely is deliberately ripping you off personally OR there's something you've missed. Forgive us for finding option 2 more likely to provide an explaination
@obtuse urchin I would go for option 2 if i hadn’t seen SCOPELY ban someone from my alliance for speaking his mind. I have turned in a lot of tickets and with SS and i was right and get nothing. Now they don’t even answer my tickets in game. I have one that is three weeks old. I can see how someone’s first instinct would be to choose 2. I think they are being vindictive and petty
It would be more trouble than its worth to adjust your account by a couple of thousand just to annoy you. You are missing something.
@prime gulch
Not getting my rewards for building or loyalty
@prime gulch ditto here. I put in a ticket but we all know how phenomenal your support org is.
NOTHING IS UPDATING! I have used enough points to max out the officer event and it shows nothing!!
@warm storm please dont post repeatedly to every channel, we see it fine in just one. 😊
👍
Vagtabill, I’m sure its because you are blind like me and cant see upgrades you havent completed and dont exist. Why would they go to all the work to single you out? Why is their one glitched planet out of thousands? They havent repaired and have known through 3 updates. Im sure that’s someone else’s fault too. Can’t be Scopely.
@violet tangle
Don't forget researches about to strength faction ships.
That kind of researches some people never take a look.
👍
AGAIN with 2 star items when the Botany Bay is a 3 star ship. We won't be able to upgrade it, stupid Scopely!
<@&509691205798592532> the officer vote event was replaced with khan? or it will also be included this week?
it's there
There needs to be a 'cookie crumb' for people to know about the other missions in the Amador system. It wasn't really 'intuitive' about the other 24 bps for the botany bay being off 4 missions there.
It's obviously for lower power people, unless it's a hodgepodge ship.. which is a good way to get rid of all *2 materials
Thank you for all the useful information everyone
DO NOT GET TO PAWN faction level. You become kos in all augment zones and can no longer mine. Just fyi @prime gulch
Kos?
Kill on sight
hahaha
Yeah, the Botany Bay store pack made me have a good laugh
I'll add the 1000 common 2* ore and gas to the 40k I already have lying around
Botany bay uses 2*, at least in lower tiers @prime sparrow
but yeah, not like we're short of it 😜
haha, yep
So I’m pawn rating with faction and my miners get attacked wtf...was this by design, can’t be?
Looks like it might be. Did you try mining with the Botany Bay, just to see... ?
Seems to be a bug. You can mine by doing the following:
- Warp mining ship into system
- Warp warship into system. Make sure it arrived second.
- Destroy revenge npc that is trying to attack miner
Revenge npc targeting miner will not respawn
My hostiles respawn..
My only hope for now is seeing what happens when I get out of pawn
There’s also some weird Klingon involvement here...might be it
Doing the Klingon mission now
The territories converted to untrustworthy once I hit pawn status
Did u help the Klingon in Paradane?
unfortunately based on panic message in general channel it is indeed by design
you are hunted by bounty hunters since augment faction is kinda persona non grata
Did I do something wrong or was there no options on what to do other than to help Khan? I’m Federation and didn’t like having to take his side.
@vagrant topaz try this, after miner, warp a talla into system and run it into the revenge npc. when the talla dies, the npc will die along with it and won't respawn
So is this yet another event that screws over lower levels or yet another bug-ridden mess of an update? I ask because I’m level 14 and have no Botany Bay pack in the shop or parts in the faction store.
You need level 18 to build it. Once you hit 18 the blueprints will be in the faction store
Yeah there's a reason my 8yr old doesn't have her own set of keys to my car
You want him to learn to steal them. Fair enough my parents used the same technique
Double spock event is broken? 15 chest pulls at 5 shards a box, thats 75 shards ... no spock. spock chance: 25% rare ... 12 rares = 2% per rare .. double chance means 4% ... . law of probability: 1 - (1/25)^75 = 1 i dont have it. did i strike the lotto? no. fix the rate <@&509691205798592532> @prime gulch
@odd dock 15x5 = 225 ?
3 expected spocks, 0 is unlucky but not that unlikely
amended ty buddha
4,7% chance of getting 0 spocks there
so ye.. unlucky but 4.7% is .. 4.7% ..
is like a runner runner flush in poker, happens all the time :x
same odds of instant officer ... almost
and i dont have that either! whine whine complain! lol
doh.. unfortunate :x
ill pull another 10 boxes, if theres no spock, theres an issue
good luck! 😄
Double chance means 4%...or it means 96% chance of not spock...law of probability says no spock for you

Who are the hookzrs @vagrant topaz
just check if u have quest left youre able to do in low lvl systems
Recommended Course of Action:
- Start mission "Uncaged" in Lycia or Astrida.
- Complete all missions until "Retrofit".
- Start missions in Midnight or Amador.

I didn't see ANY missions in Lycia or Astrida.... I'm level 19.
So is there any point in me doing these new missions? Botany bay looks a bit underpowered
They're required to unlock the new area of space, I believe.
Would be nice to see it tiered up,etc..
@prime gulch <@&509691205798592532> so I’m hearing getting attacked in augment space is intentional? Dumbest thing the devs can do. The only way to mine is by exploiting the bounty system otherwise attacks come not stop. Please tell the devs to remove this stupid feature
So we are supposed to violate the terms of service in order to mine properly in this expansion?
DUMB
And you can’t kill 2 MILLION power BHs so you have exploit and break the BH system to mine
@atomic bronze I am not sure what you are referring to, as I can't get the ship yet.
Can you clarify what you mean?
@vagrant topaz augment space goes hostile at 2550 faction. @prime gulch told a friend of mine this is intentional
I was referring to what the bounty system is?
@vagrant topaz bounty system is when factions attack you with fighters, war parties and bounty hunters
But, how can you exploit it? I guess I don't understand the TOS reference???
@vagrant topaz exploiting means taking advantage of a bug. Example. Ship A enters. Bounty hunter goes after ship A. Enter ship B and suicide on ship A’s bounty hunter (or kill it) and they stop coming after ship A
Technically hostile ships are supposed to come non stop. When you do something to stop them, you’re “glitching the system”... ergo... exploit
Plus it’s a huge waste of resources to have to suicide ships on 1-2M power BHs in order to mine
Hence why I’m bitching at @prime gulch to pass it back to the devs that this was a stupid idea
@atomic bronze I am familiar with "exploit". Thank you.
@vagrant topaz then why did you ask?
@vagrant topaz the terms of service forbids taking advantage of bugs (exploiting) and you can be banned
So I find it ironic they design an expansion to where we must exploit the bounty hunter system
Piss poor planing and execution
Either that or @prime gulch is wrong, and it is a bug that we are getting attacked
It s not that bad of An exploit
Well, I am hopeful that we can get more information on Tuesday. Let me look for the press release
I don't think they LL ban anyone forndoing that
@vagrant topaz oh I know they won’t , but we need further clarification
- if being attacked a bug? We need an official answer as in panic saying he spoke to the devs
- if this is by design, we need an official response saying it is ok to “break” the bounty system to mine
The problem is Q2 a few months ago said breaking the BH system was a bannable exploit
Even if it is by design, it’s a piss poor choice that we should demand they remove
@atomic bronze Here is the press release regarding the bounty hunters in Aug space
@vagrant topaz it’s official then. They did something stupid to waste more of our resources. Now to start a campaign demanding they remove it
I haven't even been able to build the ship to get to the place yet
I am guessing there is some rhyme/reason. Can't say, as I haven't the experience.
I do know we are discussing it however.
The only reason is so we waste more resources and spend $
And they make enough money already
I don't even look at the packs. But I agree it is frustrating to mine tritanium
At least the mining rates are improved
@vagrant topaz not enough. Each time I have to suicide on a BH, it’s 200-400k trit in repairs. That can’t be mined. It can be found raiding, but often forced to buy it
What is the warp range to get there?
I really wish I could say more, but I only have the information given.
If only the Realta had a flux capacitor mod.
Like I said, it is a topic of discussion
Pay walling an event. That's a new low, even for scopely
Even is super low.. Big disapointment. Why make event for paying players only? I do buy packs but will not spent on botany bay even if won on lottery.
<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> this is absolute absurd, still 3 days left to get the bp for the ship to get into new faction space, then the build time of the ship, you have basically Pay walled the event and screwed some paying players as they paid for the ship before the event and do not get credit for that in the event, and to top it off there is an alliance part of this event that the alliance can’t even do together because you have separated paying players from non paying active players
the alliance event last 24 days, so the solo event will probably last the same time. Means that ppl wo ve paid could play right now, but other s (like me) could play the event too, but later
<@&509690795536941056> as stated before, one event at least is not doable without paying. This is not a good sign for even paying customers.
Hostile hunting event when the ship repair bug is still not fixed yet?
@delicate merlin @grand walrus it's gated access not paywall, p2w get earlier access than f2p, Panic stated in #🌌-galaxy-chat that this event is to last longer than 14 days
Well with a 24 hours event P2W can finish event that F2P can't
Mines saying 4 days for events..
"hunting the hunter" is 1 day long
Well if i don't have enought khan token at the end of the event because I can't have those one for exemple...
And the problem is that they force people to buy the ship pack to be able to do the event
With doubled repair time on ships it doesn't make sense to play that event
they give paying customers early access, it's the same as any other MMO game
the event will last as i see 3 weeks, you will have plenty of events and rewards
and honestly the rewards in the current events are bad
One more Time...shame on you scopely 😡 😡 😡
As someone that's put a fair amount of money into this game, this event timing is completely absurd and disrespectful to loyal players. I've refused to buy the BB because of the playable path of getting it. This is also somewhat hypocritical after the introductions of loyalty credits.
<@&509690795536941056>
@prime gulch is the point here for Scopely to prove once and for all that all they care about is bilking us for money??? Level restricted events I get, and things will always be easier for ptw players, but setting a major event with major hype that is ONLY achievable if you pay is, pardon my language, absolutely disrespectful fucking horseshit. I was actually considering buying the BB, but now Scopely can get bent. I know the mods here aren’t responsible, but you’re our only real link to the bastards who are. Players are quitting in droves, fewer and fewer are joining, and this game is GOING TO DIE if they don’t pull their heads out of their asses and fix the damned coding issues BEFORE releasing more content that isn’t even pretending to be anything but a way to con more money.
Hello Scopely,
I am truly a dedicated player. I play every day more then 6 hours ( intervals).I am one of the first nerds back from the eighties. I played massa’s games on different platforms.( PS4, Nitendo, Microsoft, IOS, Android). Never In my live I had to take so much print screens in a game ( around 1500) about bugs. Never in my live I send so much mails about a game. ( around 120). Never In my live In was so badly threated by support. Never In my live I spent so much money ( 1000 euro). Never In my live I loved a game like that. Never In my live needed so much to proof I was correct about bugs. DO NOT FIX THE GAME FOR ME , FIX IT FOR ALL OTHERS PLAYERS!
@prime gulch @ornate trellis so will those who built the Botany Bay before the event not get 500 credit in the alliance event? Punished those who spent $20 to by the blueprints to get it early doesn’t it?
@prime gulch This seems kinda dum and makes no sence....why have an event with award tiers when the points awarded can't be earned in tiers/increments. It's: build jelly for 100 points, that's the only way to get points and it's the max points in one shot, so why award tiers listed? Would make sense to update this in the future.
I don’t get the value of the new area. It seems like a distraction from the main goal and all you get is another ship and officers to level. Did I miss something?
@opal stump Those officers are some of the best in the game
They are game changing
It’s my understanding they are for base busting
@green kayak they likely have an event template that they input parameters into to create events the tiers would be part of the template while criteria, points awarded and rewards are the parameters
So it's just expediency to do it that way
Unfortunately I feel a need to post here - I will be as constructive as possible.
Firstly gating an event behind a pay wall is a kick in the teeth to every loyal player that wants to enjoy the content that gets put out, we all suffer with continual bugs and lack of viable missions in the original areas (Donate 5M Dilithium for 600K Steel type missions or getting a quest in a lvl 25 System to kill a 500K Str Ship). So when you release an event and area that actually has good quests and story line holding people back is only going to cause negativity.
Currently the players that rushed ahead and spent money on “early access” actually get punished for doing so with the event release as they were able to complete all missions before the event came out thus a crap load of reputation was gained but won’t be counted towards the event you released that requires reputation.
Lastly the rewards for this event? We get told that feedback is listened to? But apparently it is not taken into consideration - The last event Store was overwhelmingly supported as a huge step in the right direction for event rewards allowing people to pick things they wanted at reasonable cost for what they put in. This event store and reward is terrible, you only have to look at it for two minutes. The top reward for the monthly alliance event is two Khan Shards which can only be redeemed for 160 Credits. Wow.. amazing. Event Store with many options was the way forward- unfortunately it’s one step forward two steps back aslong as the development team and game designers look toward how to squeeze money rather than look at the feedback provided for gamer enjoyment
@past fossil Thanks for the constructive feedback. This consolidates a lot of the player facing issues we're seeing with the event
Consolidating as much as I can and moving it to the team
Also, is the 'No Rest for the Wicked' only suppose to count Augment Credits you have on hand?
Cause, I know I purchased Augment Credits via the Faction store, in fact, the most recent is 170 for being at Servant Level.
Right now, I literally only have 130 Augment Credits on hand. And No Rest for the Wicked says "130 out of 500"
Which doesn't make sense to me.
@prime gulch Please also check the reward scaling. No idea why you can get 2 shards of green officers for 12 credits when your rep is bad, but you need 1300 credits to get same 2 shards when your reputation is good.
@prime gulch Also advertising Khan tokens as valuable, if they can be converted to 1/20th of a recruit box with a chance of either 2 shards for officer (Kati and Otto) or 3 shards of Joaquin. Seems to me quite opposite of valuable.
Complete bullshit to put an event behind a paywall. Those not buying the ship cant compete until the last day? Slap in the face to the majority of your player base.
@prime gulch Don't consolidate that feedback, use it in its entirety. You have a player base that wants to enjoy this game, yet you don't listen to the feedback we give and implement better solutions. Intentionally putting this event behind a paywall is an insult to every person who either can't pay to play this game, or refuses to until you make paying actually worth it. I literally can't compete in the event, yet those who shell out for a ship unlock it early. How is this a free to play game?
I'm level 26, and literally everything I need to upgrade requires uncommon mats. Base upgrades, ships, research, all at such a ridiculous snail's pace because you force people to pay to advance or remain stuck for months. You have a fanbase with Trek fans that eagerly wants to enjoy your game. Quit slapping us in the face.
@nova cedar he meant the post consolidated a number of separate issues already relayed to him
Event behind a paywall, go in hell greedy devs!
If you don't like it you can not participate in the event stuff. They have to earn money somehow in order to make the game continue.
You're exactly right, I can not participate.
What I mean is, you can choose to not participate or you can purchase the pack and support the game. Supporting the game may help the developers fix some of the issues you have regarding the game.
It's bad enough you have one facet of a game company release content that's behind a pay wall aka the Dev Team, but the Support team is equally give you the finger as well by saying, "Hey it's not our fault things are broken, we can't help you with it. Just be patient." At some point, both facets report to one entity/manager or whatever and that entity does not understand that you are antagonizing f2p with timed content for paying players first and then p2p & f2p with bad support, it's really a fuck you to players..
I spent money on this game because I wanted to support this game company. When you refuse to help players because of poor end-case testing resulting in bugs which affect paying and free players, you start to ask yourself why bother supporting Scopely when they don't care?
@prime gulch To be honest, this Coming Darkness stuff is initially frustrating at the beginning, regardless of level. I am totally confused as to the situation with "No Rest for the Wicked" and finding out others are well past it because, for some odd reason, the Mission itself seems to only count my current Augment credit, after I already spent some of them and this is WHILE I had the Quest and seeing I was only getting some of the credit, only after I spent my Augment Credits in the Faction store.
<@&509691205798592532> <@&509690795536941056> From someone under level 18 to Scopley. Yes you cleared it up by stating your reasoning as the fact on why you are not allowing under level 18 to get six free botany Bay blueprints per day from the faction store tab.
But your reasoning is faulty.
I understand that I cannot build the botany Bay until I’m level 18. And that I cannot enter the faction augment space until I have the botany Bay built to unlock the systems. But that should not preclude me from obtaining the blueprints. I have 30 of them from doing the missions already. So I am already participating in the event.
I am not level 16 yet but I have enough blueprints to build seven Envoys. I am not 20 yet but I have enough blueprints to build a Kehra.
So I understand that the minimum level to enter the expansion augment space is level 18. However I am already participating in the expansion by being able to complete missions that gave me blueprints and augment faction.
Therefore I should be eligible for the 6 free blueprints per day in the augment faction store. Your exclusion of an entire group of players is unwarranted and discriminatory. And I’d also like my repair time bud chest which I never got. And the build the botany Bay chest that you just gave out to everybody 18 and up because when I get 18 it still gonna cost me 800K trit
@near briar I've spent over $1400 on this game, I've supported it plenty. I'm done spending until they start listening to our legitimate issues, and until they fix glitches that continue to steal latinum that's been paid for with incorrect ship repair costs displayed. That's been going on since the beginning.
@nova cedar Sorry to say, but that is on you for spending 1400 on the game, most games I know you have to spend a little, every new video game these days costs about 60. nothing in this world is free. and while I agree things need fixed. This game has gotten a lot better since it first came out. hey I haven't had a bad node in a long time.
@near briar What level are you in game?
Hahaha it was deleted 😂
And the sad part is I'm far from being considered a big spender, plenty have dwarfed me by a long shot
The right of free speech isn't valid here I guess
im not sure guys but the mining rate of the new ship feels a bit weak
Oh I get it, I am level 20 on my main account. granted not very high level, and I have had my bad experiences, but as I said, it is getting better.
If the game stays as it is now, when you hit 26 like me, you cant advance without spending. Ask anyone at this level.
Ok, So, to me right now, it appears that the only way to get rep for the Augs is either A missions, or B buying it with aug credits. If they are at "war" with the Vaarans then why do we not get rep for destroying their ships ,, or even the fed ships? I am just trying to find a way to acheive the 1.2 million rep that is needed.
Thank you
I have lots of friends that have reached over level 30 with minimal (less than 60) spending.
That's impossible. The sheer number of uncommons needed cant be obtained in this amount of time without spending, unless they havent done a thing to upgrading anything other than ops level
Well that depends
on what server they are on, and if their refinerys are not as ... unloving as many others
if you get good strong refi pulls, it is doable.
But, for most of us, getting 2 uncommon is enough for us to cry out in joy...
Ops 27 costs 170 uncommon ore. My T4 Kumari requires 130 uncommon ore per phaser. The math doesn't add up to have 60 in the game and be lvl 30.
Founder server maybe, their game is all kinds of leveled better than everyone else.
Regardless, we are digressing. My point is an event behind a paywall that disallows people to participate is purely a money grab. It just further alienates the player base that cant spend.
You all really don't pay attention with your packs do you? You can give me 18 billion rss, but if you don't give me several hundred survey parts as well there is no way to upgrade the botany bay!!! 🤔
@@near briar you're a dreamer
Can you imagine how much latium is needed to speed up the speed of construction?
How many days is it to build the botany bay?
Did they delete my post?
I enter the top 5 on my server, take 1st or 2nd place in all events from the start of the game, paid more than one thousand dollars and only this week I was able to go to level 30, and you say that there are many people on your server, lol to the server where I play 3 players of 30 level and 1 31, do not mislead people
@upper orchid At the moment, the Botany Bay Upgrade pack offers 750 Survey 2 parts... Which is what is used for the Botany Bay, even for a G3 ship.
...iOS app still crashing...
Dreamer or not, I only speak the truth.
to date, I have the North Star, Jellyfish, Bottany Bay and am maxing out my Level 20 ships and station, I have spent a total of $25. And while I do anticipate it taking me a while to get to level 30, I will get there without spending much more. I would never pay thousands of dollars on a mobile game, or computer game, they are far too temporary.
@@near briar I have lots of friends that have reached over level 30 with minimal (less than 60) spending. - You say in this message that you have a lot of level 30 friends who did not spend anything
I believe that message states that they spent less than $60, not nothing.
Yea I'm willing to bet that they haven't spent <$60 to hit 30 already
I personally have spent probably around 60-80 and am only 24 despite playing every day. The whales on my server who have spent thousands are only 30/31. Unless they're using an exploit to speedup their construction time AND getting EXTREMELY lucky with the refinery, it's just not possible to hit 30 already with <$60 spent (unless you're a founders server but obviously that doesn't count)
@near briar Now you can get botany just buying a package
@hasty glen I know what I know, you can tell me its impossible until you are blue in the face, but it does not change the facts.
@gray pine I know, but I already have the Botany Bay built and running.
And if you tell me the Earth is flat until you're blue in the face that doesn't change the fact that it's not possible
Sorry you do not believe me.
@hasty glen , I've heard people all around the globe, say it's flat. Lololol
😂
How many days are the freebie 6x botany bay parts going to be in the faction store?
Until you have one
The only purpose I see in the new area is to have us spend money on a worthless ship and new crew. I’ll pass
@
This is an open letter to Scopely. As of today’s new event, The Coming to Darkness, you have shown that you clearly have very little regard for players who do not spend money on your game. Starting an event that requires a specific ship to complete, by and large, isn't wrong, as it is a great way to get people interested in this new faction and content you created. The rewards for the event for players, and for alliances, seem very cool too. You created a set of missions that allowed players to get 30 Blueprints for the required ship which needs 60 to build. You also are giving away 6 Blueprints a day. You also are selling 30 blueprints for $19.99 in the store.
But then you went and showed your true colors by beginning the event today. In the framework you set out for us, unless we pay the $19.99, we cannot play this new section at the time of release and will be punished unless we pay. Your design was setup that over the course of 5 days you could collect the Blueprints needed for the ship, then it would take 3 days to build, without using speed ups, to complete prerequisites. Yet 3 days in, you launch an event that requires said ship. It is extremely disrespectful to your player base to manipulate people to spend money constantly to participate in the game. Some/Many Cannot.
These are the same tactics that are getting shut down in many countries around the world by governments because of their extremely harmful effects to mentality and is playing a part in the rise of gambling and personal ruination of many segments of society. STOP! You’re ruining your own game. I have spent money on your game, in small amounts, when I am able, to support you. But until your strong-arm tactics stop, you will not get another penny from me, and I hope many other players, even large spenders that see this and agree to stop paying until you change your methods.
Why are botany upgrade packs different for different levels? I get why normal packs are the resources required are vastly different per level. This though? Everyone regardless of level needs exactly the same ship. This is messed up.
@short nexus unfortunately companies such as this don't care even a little about their American or European player base. We are an insignificant fraction of their customer base compared to Asia and that's who this style of game is marketed to. Until Asian gaming culture changes we can expect mobile gaming to suck and probably get worse for the forseeable future.
@short nexus u can do this entirely for free. And the event rewards kinda stuck. F2p lose nothing
event rewards are very underwhelming
Just throw a loyalty token in with the Kahn token. That'd make it worth it.
60 BP'd needed, 30 gainable through missions, the other gainable in 5 days providing 6 BP's each day = 60
and yes, P2W players buying packs have an advantage on this, thats what they pay for
so either pay or have patience
like you @short nexus I do not spend a lot of money into the game, but I have patience
so I do not feel you in your statement
and large spenders simply keep spending, no matter what, they like to pay for being able to bully others
@frigid cargo I don’t get the whole new event deal. What’s the big deal to spend money on a singular use ship and crew that’s for base busting?
@opal stump base raiding is the best way to gain resources in the game.... you should try it... it is fun 🖖
I have not sure I would call it fun. Expensive on dilithium yes.
Botany bay aint good for BASE busting
Envoy is better atm
I have botany bay at T5 now, 35k power compared to a maxed t7 envoy 50k
Will prob get better at higher tiers and higher lvl
She ll pass thé envoy at some point
@vagrant topaz will not pass envoy at any point, it has a kinetic weapon firing every other turn, needs to pass fortunate first...
Okay, so far no good, only for data mining it shines
@gilded edge just seems messed up that they did that
No one ever said that Mobile Game Makers were 'smart' in balancing things when the focus for most of them are Micro Transactions.
Although, in the case of this game... there are very few to no micro-transactions.
And I strongly believe the whole PVP imbalance is due to the fact that it requires 'big ships' to crack bases... With no armada or joint raids beyond alliance 'at the moment' raiding... This is their 'fix' to allow base hitting.
But also in most Mobile War games, like Lords Mobile and what not... there has literally been no real reasonable way to do PvP to prevent high level/Wallet Warriors from stomping other players. Only the hackers.
@prime gulch <@&509691205798592532> can someone please explain this? This here is a lvl 30 store and the second is a lvl 29 store aren’t these supposed to be REPUTATION based not station based?
@prime gulch So... A calculated risk, which requires you to unlock a path from Kor Na Ron (Which requires Recuperation that is behind No rest for the Wicked) takes you to Yarda (Warp 28 required)... Which then sends you to Paradane (27). This is kind of cruel and unusual punishment for this quest.
Bend over and spell run.
Same old bs, create a faction then add an event but only paying customers can be in it. Great way to treat your customers.
@high obsidian pvp can be balanced by making it only three levels difference. That would pit wallet warrior against wallet warrior.
A lot of people would agree on this... But other will not and thus begins the merry-go-round on this one.
@safe silo it clearly IS reputation based. I see tolerated Rep in the second one and Friend Rep in the first.
I thought bounty hunters came after you until another ship killed yours. But today I am having a hard time spawning them at all. Anyone has a clear picture of how it works?
Nope... Bounty Hunters is more how often you 'pop' in the space. I think there is a timer for it a little.
Yesterday I put my Saladin there and I watched it rack up points, today nothing happens
I found times where the hunters don't show up... And other times, they pop up. The only thing I can come up with is that there is a timer to it
Moved to Rona Tan and now 1 has spawned
Are there going to be additional reward options in the event store? Seems kind of pointless to give tokens that can only be converted to aug creds. Why not just give aug creds in the first place?
You need to get msg that you're traspassing space. If you don't they will not spawn
You can also intercept other ppls hunters and you will get msg that you're traspassing and they will spawn again for you
Any idea till which date is the event shop opened? When it will close?
@ancient sonnet that’s clear. But why sometimes I do not get any trespassing warning? Possibly a cap on how many bounty hunters are active at any single time?
@high obsidian pmed you hope you don't mind
The event shop is currently open... AS for when it closes, perhaps a week after the event is over with.
@clever dawn Same for me. Then I move to other system or intercept one of the hunters spawing for other players. Then I get trespassing warning even tho I'm already in that system and they spawn.
I believe the game 'rescans' to see if you are in violation. You get it a few time then it doesn't know what to do. The scans kick in when you exit out of combat, and I think there is a 'cool down' period.
Same thing when you leave a node in a hostile system... You are 'back', scan pops and goes 'hey, gtfo or we come after you.'.
I dpn’t think it rescans when you jump off a mine thoug
From what I saw... The 'you are targetted' happened a couple of times when I popped off a mine.
If I hit lvl 20 now, will I get the Race to level 20 rewards when it comes back around?
Yes, in that case, you upgrade any building to get all the rewards
<@&509691205798592532> @prime gulch Buying 3 single chests costs 5400 credits and if I buy 3 at once they cost 9000... explain that one... #ScopelyMath
🤔
Does it have cool down ?
I will submit that to the team.
Where did the bountybay blueprints go in the faction store? I only need 6 more.
What is going on here?
<@&509691205798592532>
I'll check. It may be a while before I get a response though, since it's a weekend and a holiday.
The blueprints went away from the faction store at some point yesterday because that's when the event ended
The recruitment boxes cost more because they are on a 22 hour timer like everything in the store. Can only buy 1 of the 3 options each day
Is the new areas glitchier than anywhere else?and it's not my isp,been 4 different places.. flushed cache,etc..
So why are some of the Decoded Data Accelerators giving Corrupted instead of Decoded Data? <@&509691205798592532> don't you think to do a data extracting event, you'd have that corrected first?
@placid bear Moderaters are unpaid volunteers that try to assist the community and help with player issues. Please, have a little respect. We aren't employees.
i wasn't being disrespectful for one,. it was a simple question just as with broken nodes.
this is a feedback channel and that is what i was asking to get some feedback for us players towards the event.
@dark sonnet the cooldown timer makes it the same deal as refining...more batches cost more because you get more in the same timeframe. I still think it's bs but at least it's consistent bs
Yes, I figured that out. I don’t do the 75k batches in refinery either because the extra yield isn’t worth it.
I do one a week of ore just because I need so goddamm much of it rn...gas and crystal tick along just fine at 12k batches though
Is this a misprint? Or do level 27 systems with decoded data not count?
event doesn't start yet for another 2 hours 52 minutes
so hopefully jsut a misprint
and there might be some mislabeled stations
You should be bug reporting the issues like the mislabeled data accelerators. Not that it will get fixed right away, but I did also report it.
I'm more concerned about the event than the labels;)
@sterile flint Thanks for the info.
@plain wraith where the rewards like in the event if it’s real
That means I need to move:(
Still you cannot use rewards
What you buy if you don’t now what will be avalible in future
Also the event store scales with reputation level so...there's that. This whole event cycle is big fail in my eyes. As a predominantly pve player there's no real incentive to bother
Event store is more level based than reputation based
The Augment event gets worse and worse....
It didn't exactly begin well either
So what is the point having a mining event in faction space if you can’t mine? You had a bounty hunter event but now by completing it you can’t mine without being attacked. Kinda retarded.
Mining Events in general are a pain in the ass.
As for preventing attacks, have another ship to act as an intercept... or else just learn to deal with it.
You had this same problem back when we had the normal mining event, the only difference is, that there are NPC ships that will try and hit you too.
Never had the problem actually personally, as you can always find somewhere to mine without being attacked by the hostiles
What has happened here is that there are two separate events conflicting each other. Not well thought out
That is because the G3 areas had some neutral areas with no Hostiles attacking you. Augment Space is a faction space where you can be attacked by NPCs cause there is no neutral space and the fact there is even fewer nodes for access.
Just seems like it wasn’t well thought out, if you are going to have events that conflict each other then you should present them all so people can pick and choose. What is also retarded here is how can I be an enemy of faction space when I have such high favouritism of the augment faction in the first place? Another contradiction....
It is designed so that the bounty hunters are hunting you, not the Augments.
That still doesn’t actually make sense.
The bounty hunters are not aligned with the Augments and the 'story' is that they are hunting the Augments in the space that is likely where they are.
A mining event where there are a total of 36 mining spots is a joke
You are considered 'helping' the augments and possibly carrying them on your ship, hence the Bounty Hunters hunting you.
They are trying to do all they can to make us shoot down empty miners
I see, that is still kind of dumb really, the more I think of it the more stupid the bounty hunter theme seems to be. Why is it faction space specific? A bounty hunter would find you anywhere you are, not in one specific area.
There is more than 36 mining spots, but yes, the mining locations are super limited... Much more than the traditional mining events.
From #🏆-event-chat
Dark SaintToday at 12:18 PM
ok, I am a bit surprised, there are exactly 267 nodes. 78 with decoded and 189 with corrupted data.
Personally, I would dump the bounty hunter idea unless you are going to make it galaxy wide
It seems dumb to isolate it to one specific area
The only likely story is that most of the bounty hunters are floating where there is likely going to be Augment Presence... In this case, the section of space you are in is likely to have Augments they can try and capture.
That’s a pretty far stretch
Not Really Fury.
While you can put a bounty all over the galaxy, most bounty hunters will focus on the target that is convenient for them or focus on an area where they can hit a bounty.
Also the Botany Bay quest is another very badly designed mission set, basically you can’t use the BB until you are done with the entire mission sequence
If it is known that the bounty tends to be in a specific area... They focus their attention in that area.
Bounty hunters do not limit themselves to ONE area, hence the term “hunter”. Also, if it was as you say they would attack in whatever faction space you are in...:not just the upper levels.
They aren't attacking only in the upper levels of that faction space. They do hit in other areas as well.
The bigger the payout, the more keen they are to broaden their search parameters
I am sitting in a level 22 system right now, and not even a single hunter show up.
I move to a decoded area and mysteriously they start showing up....:
I've been in L26 area and they try to hit me there.
And that is definitely not where decoded data are.
I have been bouncing around the areas to see where they do and do not show up.
Well, then go to the level 22 areas, they don’t even make an appearance
I have also bounced around in systems, and found that sometimes there is literally a cooldown before they come after you, other times, they kept coming after me while I was hitting marauders.
I will not say the missions are 'great'. I am only pointing out some of the possible logical reasons.
I will also say, Scopely is not great at some of the 'logic' they have applied on some of these things, like the fact the number of nodes and this mining even is pretty ludacrous. And some of the lower level people are once again, shafted in this as well.
They are VERY shafted with this
I could dedicate all day if I wanted by keeping a battleship with a miner, but that is more then you should have to do for a mining event. I get pvp mine attackers, it is what it is. But having an event setting you up for bounty hunter attacks JUST before a mining event is beyond sneaky and maliciously
*malicious
Augment event is boring and now its bs alliance power event for the week again.
Would be nice to see more officer events.
would be nice if Tritanium costs went down.
I just parked my L24 Vahklas in Tera Lara (L24) system, and was attacked twice by a bounty hunter. Looks like the L20 and L22 areas don't have attacks going on.
yes they do.
alliance power events are stupid, the same alliances always win them.
and nobody else gets anything. It's like saying "oh you're at the top? here's a little bonus for being so awesome!"
Someone has the Botany Bay Part 2 mission? I need to know what kind of accelerators give the rewards... I’m in part 3 and not remember it
And I believe May be there are some discrepancies on rewards
@dark sonnet it's the same thing as refinery. since it has a cooldown, it;s limited. so you will have an advantage when choosing the 3 chest compared to 1 chest.
Looks like they bugged the alliance augment event reward message it seem to pop up event 10mins.
@vagrant topaz I’m having a issue with the decoded data not being credited. I mined 15K last night. Is this a known issue?
Claim prize....wait 5 mins....claim same prize.....repeat every 5 mins without actually getting your rewards
Stupid bugged event
@prime gulch do you work for scopely?
@simple monolith he does yes.
has anyone been able to obtain rare plutonium in the augment store
Hello, Allow us to buy survey2 parts with either auctment credits or with Corrupted data, We need to update the bottany bay but cannot get survey 2 parts anywhere as I am level 25
@warm monolith yes I have, Bought last night after mined 24k decoded dat
@ornate grail almost all NPS under lvl 25 drop part 2 survey parts. I have thousands of them and i am lvl 27
we need more part 3
Well you need to kille them 25 to get about 3 sruvey parts, Would not bother to kill them 15 rounds and still not gettin 60 what I need for one upgrade
Is corrupted data supposed to mine slower then decided data?
@green wyvern the rate varies per system. Higher lvl systems mine faster.
Also, higher level systems means harder hitting bounty hunters.
or harder to bring a low cost repair ship in to help take the BH hit
Lower cost nothing... Harder to bring any low tier/low grade ships in general due to the Warp Range requirement and you only have 1 Cadet Scott.
@prime gulch will there be a proper event this weekend, other then mining and alliance leaderboard bs events?
This Hunt the Hunters event is crap. What incentive do i have to kill anything other than the lowest level marauders, given it's 1 kill = 1 point, without taking into account your own level?
I really enjoy this game. Yes it has many flaws and is far from being finished but I just love it. BUT please never do a period of one sided augument events again, which really no one needed at the moment.
A fraction credit event, an event for raw materials that would be great...
Or a sell your not needed stuff event...
@prime gulch can we get some answers or its just the regular costumer service?
@fleet osprey it was just a useless, shameless money grab. That's all this event was. They have to keep releasing this kind of stuff every month or so to keep the money rolling in. Players get bored of just buying the same old stuff and leave if new content does not appear. It's kind of telling how lame this event was, nothing of real value except for base cracking officers...I'll give you one guess why that is. It's also the reason why bugs never get fixed, new content must constantly be rolled out to maintain the payerbase, bug fixing takes time away from content creation. We can all see the results of that. That's yet another one of the major flaws of this kind of business model: constant need for new content means old content gets neglected, result = poor quality product that infuriates the customer base and shortens the life of the game itself.
But they dont ad new content, this is the first time in more then 6 month
Armada has been "coming soon" in more then 6 month
@wet vale good luck finding the lowest level ones between all the other players :p much easier to go into higher level systems if you can kill the hostiles there, that's the incentive 😂
personally I just send my strongest ship to one of the Rona Tan and left it there so all the bounty hunters just come and attack... come back 1hr later and event done 😄
@prime gulch <@&509691205798592532> will there be a new event today for the weekend or the game is just dead?
Yeah the flaw is that kill red = 1 PONT. CHange ti
To: Kille 1 20-22 = 1 point, 23-25 2 ponts and 26-30 3 points and 1 bounty 10 points
Also I likt to receive more rewards to kill and use my time, Auction credits is just not compelling enough. Give Uncommon ore like 2, 3,4,6
The game does not give uncommong ore enough to build ships. Even 100euro bought and you can upgrade one part at level 25 because pack does not contain enough uncommon ore
Ship XP level event. How you gonna ever complete these? Hostiles dont give much of them ever, The game grants 50 pc as free gift to time and time. Whats the point of ship xp event?
YOu absolutely cant ever complete ship xp event unless you buy packs worht of 500 euros and gain enough ship xp. I wis hostiles would give more ship XP and event allowe xp gained byt fightin to count.
TBH Scopely think what you are adding to the game and add it well tought.
@prime gulch so only trash events again this weekend, maybe try to wake up?
@prime gulch will faction daily ever be balanced, so its not a disadvantage to lvl up?
Augment leaderboard data extraction event rewards aren't worth the effort of participating. Again.
It's questionable if the whole augmented part of the game is worth it. BB ship and Khan's crew not that awesome imo..
Khan's crew, when leveled up (likely to take years) will help you crack bigger bases than you can otherwise raid.
If you don't raid, it's likely entirely useless for you.
khan crew is not useless. they have higher stats than normal use it in the ship
i like the recent changes to the leaderbord-events with their rewards and frequency and bracketing 👍
I don't like this event at all, it is grindy for an almost useless reward... (you can level up maybe 1 or 2 times Khan crew but it will be weaker than a max level epic crew).
You grind and grind (Mining Data ? 1 point by hostile killed without taking account of the level ?) for no real resources (parsteel, trita, ore, ship parts, ....) ? It is a boring event.... I prefered the previous one when you killed separatists hostiles, you could buy the ressources you need. 😡
If you guys are going to keep doing events that concentrates large numbers of players on a small number of systems, you might want to feed the hamsters in your "Server farm". All Augment systems are laggy, with mobs only appearing when you exit/enter system, players go invisible at random, and the bounty hunters have a shorter half life than most radioactive materials.
<@&509690795536941056> I like the changes you made today where you're giving people resources for doing the event. Thanks for that improvement!
Next time around, if you could give uncommon... That would be even better! There is NOWHERE NEAR enough uncommon available in the game. It's way, way too hard to come by.
So, thanks for the improvement! And please continue to make improvements! 😃
Also liked this change. But please fix the elite daily packs. At lvl 30 You get 200k trit a day. That is enough to repair your ship not even twice. For 100€ you should get a little more...
@hollow swallow which event are you referring to?
hunting the hunters? that 75k dili you got ?
Yepp,the lvl before gives you tritanium the one before that para. At lvl 30: 650k trit and 3 mio para
ah ok
@dusky tapir hunting the hunters, yep. 3M par, 650k trit, 100k Dil. Not all that useful for me as a 32, but still an improvement over just rep and an augment token. It's like finding a nice raiding snack.
I have to agree its good to get that it if nothing else covers the repair costs to do the event... though amounts are still a little tight... and 100% agreed on your comment about uncommon's
anyone know if the khan tokens are going to be used for something else then the event store exchange for augment credits?
would not mind seeing something else then credits in that event store, i think most people dont participate in the augment events as the rewards for doing so it khan tokens and you can only get credits with them
My miner takes 6hrs 28ms to mine out around 20000 corrupted data, the high levels have decoded and faster corrupted nodes locked down, how do you expect someone who works to even complete solo data extraction stage 1? Please can you revamp the event so you do not need to be able to play 24/7 to do it. Doing 20000 is dependant to no one killing your miner regularly and you being able to get s mine with so few per system.
you need to level up your booty bay
you can do it very cheap, without paying.. as long as you spend the stuff on the stuff you need!
Nice idea except survey parts do not grow on trees and while you buy with latinum to upgrade to max you are likely talking a fortune in latinum.
A ship just turned tier 2 takes over 8hrs.
Kahn repair rate no longer functioning despite timer claiming 14more hours
working fine here
@shut tulip the BB is completely useless until about T3 or T4, depending on how strong your Envoys are.
The nice thing is they can be upgraded with zero RL money required, as long as you farm the required parts, which should be easy from your NPC rep grinding activities.
Also, the Hunting the Hunter quest makes you kill 200 guys every few days which also drops the stuff you need to upgrade your BB.
Mixing the currencies needed for augment event sucks. Just make everything in the faction store cost credits, rather than make me try and remember how much decoded data i need to turn in for credits to buy stuff, and how much i need to keep to buy the stuff that costs data instead. And i really don't want to have to go back and mine corrupted data too just for a bit of extra reputation.
What’s this faction credit use for chest? Doesn’t make sense from going from 1 chest 1700 to 2 chests 4300 and higher.
Increase isn’t even linear.
its like the refinery
since theres a 22 hr cooldown you pay more for more chances per cooldown
its' stupid, I agree. every other game has you pay less not more.
Are we getting a non augument event anytime soon? It is getting a bit boring and the rewards are not that good...
WTB Mining Event! Bonus Refining! Plz plz plz
How about they just make it permanent?or / and add more accessible nodes?..oh wait I forgot who were talking about
what happened to daily rewards.. mine vanished & said get to level 3 for daily rewards??
Close and reopen
@prime gulch for the love of pepperoni, bring back PVP events please ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah because mining rss isn't a big enough pain in the arse...
Better idea...dedicated pvp servers or just pvp systems with better rss (increased node size and yield/hr but pvp is always on there) or an opt in/out with 24hr cooldown to prevent base raiding trolls abusing it.
Pretty much anything except a forced pvp event
<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> please adjust the aug rep rewards for this before it starts tomrrow... 50, 100 points is pretty pathetic, thanks
lol, I thought the 200 points needed at ops level 23 were dumb compared to the reward.
BOOO!!! HISSS!!! Events where you have to spend $100s worth of officer/ship XP for $50 in rewards suck. I refuse to participate in them. Stop being so stingy Scopely.
Well you don't have to...wait for double solo officer events and get a decent amount of uc and rss for 200k xp...
Yeah, that's what I do. I'm not an idiot even though Scopely thinks I am.
It's just dumb that they think I'm an idiot and they have these stupid events in the first place.
Replace them with events that are not obviously scams please Scopely.
Tbh I prefer these to the old events, I just save up officer xp, usually 200k and hold 1st place and then bam, a lot of rss for me, and a new station to raid for everybody else 😂🤣
On my server 1st place is always in the millions of XP spent
It's just a stupid waste of xp
The only smart thing to do is not participate at all and wait for one that gives you reasonable rewards for reasonable spends.
(I have many 10s of millions of officer XP ready to spend FWIW)
It's based on level, I would get 75k dilithium, 150k trit, 700k parasteel, 900 lat, 60 uncommon g2 rss, a bunch of speed ups, and etc
Does anyone know where to get independent credits?
nowhere yet, being worked on I heard
Omg when is this crappy khan event finally over.
Rewards for hunt the hunters event sucks, again. No level range on hostiles killed just means everyone will farm in the lowest level systems and gank the low level players if they get in the way.
can only agree.. another event with pathetic rewards
<@&509690795536941056> whoever it is that did the current Augment events has no idea how your game works.
The Augment faction store is time gated. This means it doesn't matter if we get huge numbers of Khan tokens, WE CANNOT USE THEM.
They are 100% useless.
So, thanks for nothing, event designer! Please try again.
@hollow swallow maybe it is time based but khan tokens can speed up your advancement quite a bit
If you're doing the daily quests you get more than enough Khan tokens.
There is zero use for extras.
Also, why are we only getting +50, +100 aug rep for an alliance event? That level of rep reward is meaningless... <@&509691205798592532> can you get an answer please. Many have asked this, no response as usual from scopely.
@hollow swallow the extra tokens allows you to get 3 chests for augment recruits...
plus it allows you to still buy stuff even if you were busy and couldn't mine data to convert to credits
@sleek zealot I've asked the question 🤷
@sleek zealot it comes on top of solo event so who cares?
Thank you Fuzzy
And it matters because when you get 10k+ from a daily, an alliance event surely has to be worth more than a lousy 100 points.
Its either a mistake or a sign they really do not have a clue.
Im hoping its a mistake.
Now Khan tokens are needed as you can buy uncommon and rare ore in the augment faction store.
Yeah they added that this afternoon. Awesome update.
Wish they'd added that before I spent all my khan tokens on other things lol
Tokens convert to credits convert to resources. No waste. They are easy to get. Higher rep gets more credits but costs also increase due to higher quality of resources
@sleek zealot solo event gives you 1 Kahn token at top award... alliance event gives 3 for all your alliance, so just ignore the points 😃
Oh Scopely, how good you are at making haters... let’s take the normal Augment cash purchase in faction store and replace with a “bonus” option at worse return rates... that’ll make em happy....
well at the mo I can get 40 unc ore for the cost of less then 1 khan token..so long may that continue..
Rewards in the event right now are not worth the effort....
@fleet osprey which event?
2 day fraction events ....
I popped from ops 23 to 24 during this augment event. The requirements on solo data mining from before and after to get a Khan token: 24k vs 264k. I have the same ships and crew as before, but need 11x as much data? The Khan token payout also increased, but nowhere near 11x.
Also I can't afford pretty much anything in the augment store anymore despite attempting to mine the fancy data.
@azure epoch at least it's still easy to mine 26.4K decoded data... I had the same happened to me during the killing the klingons event... jumped from like 2.5M to 9M overnight...
you should also get more RSS per award
<@&509690795536941056> please please please add more ways to buy UC using in game currency, like in the Augment faction store!
I love being able to trade in game effort for the materials that really matter.
Are we going to have our old events back eventually or is every event going to be based on the augment faction from here on out? At my level the augment events basically useless, but I would enjoy having the events back that were there before they showed up.
<@&509690795536941056> why take away the extra resources ak uncommon in aug faction store, it was helping a lot of players make a little bit of headway,at least wait till the whole event is over, I only needed a little more uncommon ore then buy a pack to finish it off, now back to waiting on the poor excuse for a refinery for the next few weeks, people can’t spend all the time, otherwise the grinding is insanely long only to get enough uncommon for 1 ship part or building, makes players look towards other games that is reasonably decent to progress, I already spent about 3-4K on the game but now at lvl 31 I would have to spend 800 for only one ship part or building, really that’s unheard off in most other app games. Or at least drop the price of the packs to make it worth while for the average person to purchase one or 50.
Thanks for your time.
Khans repair event also affects hostile bosses, they recover extremely quick. So not a cool solution tbh
limited time offer @amber cobalt not unlike double refinery after mining events.
Well, seeing how many are being" throttled" by resources,or uncommons.. what's the end result?mass quitting due to frustrations? Lack of any forward development is making me not wanna play at all..
So,how to remedy, double out put for a week or 2 ..of everything..make people stuffed and happy
What a joke. Like half of one of my daily mission
Uncommon resources are the primary revenue stream fro the game, they're difficult and slow to acquire by design. It's also the reason why server events are geared almost exclusively to benefit only the top players with no benefit at all for anyone else...because the top players are the ones paying the most. Game balance appears to be a thing of the past fr mobile games. If you're looking for quality content and an enjoyable gaming experience, you'll have to turn to desktop or console games.
Pretty bad that I've gotten more rares in the last few days than uncommons
@vagrant topaz lol for the first time since level 20 (and I'm now 25, almost 26) I got a rare crystal from the refinery!
I was refining 12K twice daily since 22 and until I got my Kumari hoping to get those rares so I can upgrade my Kehra further but #refinerysucks 😄
Waste of life twice as difficult mining.
In mission the other side on Paradane, there are too many talkings from Enrich. I’ve got killed by an hostile before the end of the mission presentation ! I didn’t have time to choose between the two proposals ! Can you please do something about this and shorten his pompeous speech ? I’ve lost precious tritanium and dilithium in the process. Can you get it Black plz ?
And mission Desperate Measures nowhere to be found
So, make an event twice as hard for twice the rewards so only the whales have a shot of completing it... sounds about right.
@fiery ridge don't think so... at lvl24 the top reward so far required 26.4K decoded data, that's <5 hours with an envoy or less if you spent time/resourced on upgrading BB
at lower levels it's like 10% of that which is even more of a joke
so if I need to mine double that and get double the rewards I'm all up to it...
Where are the May packs?
Please scopely don't be a disappointment for your f2p and ptw players...
Make the store cheap,for good purchases
1099 for kahn that a bargain
Huge disappointment in the faction store. Only 50 independent credits? On a 24hr timer? not going to be able to promote one officer never mind them all. Oh and it is limited time too? Fantastic. 😞😞😞
@onyx hemlockwhat are independent credits?
You use them to promote officers
In this case, only augment officers going to level 20 or higher I believe
<@&509690795536941056> can we have something jellyfish related, as myself and alot of people who are playing the game are 1bp away from getting a jellyfish, but as were above lvl 18 we cant complete any more missions. Please can you remove the lvl cap for the missions. Also my brother who is lvl 11 on another server has the ability to buy the jellyfish bps, why cant we..
@winter fog ah ok, not that far yet, thank you
Everything eventually needs credits to be promoted. This is just the only way to get independent credits so far.
(they usually use fed or klingon credits)
lmfao for real? only 10 khan shards?@winter fog
So Bentley prices at Yugo quality?
The solo station event now counts dock upgrades for me as 2000 points. Since when?
It's dependant on what level you are upgrading the dock to
Higher level = more points
Yes but before they didn’t count at all? Or is this only for leaderboard events
drydock always counted... it's the defense platforms that didn't
Ah thanks
Level 24 extra item. A bit underwhelming :(
At lvl 30 i see uncommon and rare gas and crystal but not ore? Why is that <@&509690795536941056>
@distant vine they seem to have added the trit/par tokens as well
it's like they do it manually 😂 😂
I'm guessing there won't be any UC stuff before level 26, just like the previous time...
much better at least
yeah, but I prefer getting those from raiding bases lol
at least there is some usage to the Kahn tokens
We where prommised res in the augment shop. Where is it?
Res is under ops26
Hey how's the event going for u guys?
Two hours in this is what our server looks like how does yours?
Got seven notifacations..."milestone achieved" in the alliance augment event. 6 tokens...none are in my inventory. Whats up with that?
Just happen again
And again thats 48 tokens total
@viral shoal how is the even possible. Our server is just toxic with these events. People don't even mine, they just fly around killing every miner
Again 2 more times
3 more times now
@viral shoal how is 80m possible, what ships does that guy have? The second place is so far off
It's our alliance
If you aim for corrupted leaderboard, it's impossible to finish solo mining event prizes
@ancient sonnet nothing is impossible 😃
last event I ended up rank 18 in corrupted and around 30 in decoded, and also finished the solos of course
this time I'm not even participating, not worth the effort
Yeah but rank 1 takes commitment and 1 point for solo.. Would have to mine 1.5M data
lol for solo event you'll probably have to mine some decoded as well, so far #1 on our server for corrupted is at about 200K
dunno what ops level you are and how far you went with BB, some users reported it can do 115K/hr in Yarda, so 1hr of that and you're sorted for solo lol
Bb is t6, I'm ops29.. Still it would take heck of amount of switching/dumping load out. On our server once you go over cargo you have 3 2 1 seconds before someone blows you up
@prime gulch i understand having level specific goals and prizes, but the difference between lvl 23 and 24 is ridiculous. Literally 12x the mining needed.
This is just seriously lazy. Set a goal specific for each level, rather than grouping a whole bunch together.
Considering lvl 25 is 500k or something,and the rewards overall don't include the g3 materials that are Soo much needed..
24&25 is the same
and yes about *12 times of level 23, but also RSS rewards are higher (though I don't think by the same factor), and faction shop options are better (RSS tokens instead of RSS at smaller amounts)
24/25 requirements are reasonable, 23 is too easy lol
Are these tokens going to be able to be used in the future?
Thanks for making the mining event even more tedious and time consuming for mother's day when we have nothing but time! 30% of decoded nodes missing or broken is a nice touch, but the doubled mining requirements is really the best part!
And the jump from ops 23 to 24 is also an amazing experience. I have the same ships but my AI computer that can't pop a shield for more than 10 minutes got a version upgrade so now I must mine 264k instead of 24k data points in order to please the secret space event benefactors.
Oh and if you mine 263k? No augment credits for you!
@azure epoch the jump is big yeah, but mining 264K or even double that isn't so difficult with an envoy, let alone if you properly utilize the bb as well
I suppose they jump is because from 24 you get UC plotonium which means you can tier up your BB even more, but I've been doing those events with an envoy... much easier if you don't want to spend resourced on the BB
Bb is pretty useles for me.I saw some ss about bb at high tiers.It has a great raiding potentional .But it is expensive than an envoy to upgrade.
it also gives more cargo and becomes more powerful than envoy
not that it happens every often but if I raid a base out of 2-3M RSS doing it with 144K envoys is painful
my BB already have 150K cargo bay, so I'll probably upgrade it further once I can spare some UC ore
I cant upgrade it after tier 4.Because I am lvl 22 and unc plutonium will open at lvl 24
Not enough mines for a whole server to play
@winged axle Bb is about as useless raiding bases as a fortunate. Try it and see how much damage it takes, Envoys are a lot better.
This event stunk. I've skipped both days as with the wallet warriors competing for the leaderboard i can't even get on a decoded data node to try and finish the twice as hard as usual solo event. Add broken mining nodes to the mix and it's again like you're trying to persuade players to give up.
it's a total garbage event aimed at pleasing the top players who can earn the right to purchase unraidable resources.
Yep, always has been, any ranked event is that way, there's no way I'll place within the top 10 in my server for the federation
I don't care that i can't get on the leaderboard, i just think it's awful that there's so few nodes that a leaderboard event means that a high level player/ alliance will take them all competing and no one else can participate at all!
Hello, devs and Scopely stakeholders. I wanted to give you feedback on the augment event availability. It's imbalanced as ever. Look at this screenshot bellow.
I'm stuck, can't proceed further unlike your dearest customers who pay in millions total to allow themselves do whatever they basically want. Behavior to others not subject of this message.
I wanted to let you know I have spent about $100 on Nova Empire, not because I needed to, but because I felt it's deserved after over year of satisfied gaming.
@misty spire over a year of game play for that power? I’ve played less than 6 months and spent less than you and am far farther along. Granted this game play is broke, totally, devs don’t care and all that but I fear you are not creating a convincing argument to them with a 59k power ship after a years play
Do we know if khan tokens will have other use then credits??
@vagrant topaz he hasn't been playing this game for over a year, it's been out since november
@vagrant topaz he was referring to Nova empire and how it's a good game, so he spent money on it. Not this game
I have contacted you via email, but I am STILL awaiting some feedback from you. However... let's recap. The Tritanium I was given was stolen when my base was raided- I had a peace shield running when it was taken . I cant believe that 2 days later you asked for Screenshots! They dont go back that far. So I missed out on the event, I missed out on the Botany bay. I missed out on all kinds of rewards etc. etc. Also my Alliance missed out on Alliance points etc.
Then you sent me an email, saying to leave it with you to investigate it. Then I received an email saying that because you had not heard from me you were closing the investigation!! So I emailed you back and asked you to reopen the investigation, I have heard nothing back from you despite sending you
a number of enquiries.
So my questions are, are you investigating this problem? When can I expect to hear from you about it? Do I have to keep sending you reminder emails? Will I ever get any form of compensation from you?
Now, dont get me wrong about compensation! All I am asking for is parity with the people who were able to take part in the event. Therefore an 'average' finishing point I think would be fair.
PS I have been trying to keep the lid on this but as you (haven't the common courtesy to reply) dont answer my emails - it's now gone public.
Yours with baited breath
Zhang
No, never, sure if you want, hahaha no....those are the answers you will get.
@vagrant topaz
Argument is simply this. Satisfy me and keep it up for around a year and I'll show my gratitude. Hence the comparison to Nova. Plus I didn't say I have 59k power ship after a years play as two others so aptly reminded you.
Thanks @raven sluice and @open otter
I see @viral shoal never gave you guys the final tally. you were probably in suspense. lol
Lol a 6-hour event to kill hostiles where the first milestone would require me to kill 50 ships 3 levels above me (24 killing 27 for 6 pts each, 300 pts needed). Top tier would take like 400+ hostile kills. In 6 hours. With repairs.
Aaaaand another event where rep costs outplay the winnings. Seriously get your facts straight and do some math.
@thick raven they would need to care about the players to do that
@opal geyser you are right ... what was I thinking
what is it with devs and their math? Are you guys (insert profane word here) in your heads?
I come here to share my calculations on this Battle for glory event which demonstrates why it would be silly for me to participate but everyone’s on to it so I’ll be off 😃
Total rewards for me are 264k trit and 40k did at a cost of 377,800k trust and 66,800 dil in repairs is going to be a big pass for me. Keep the rss as well. I can wait.
So what your saying is the uncommon. The resource everyone complains about needing, isn't worth 110k trit and 20k dil to you?
My refinery is generating uncommon at a good rate to match my shop and base progression. I have no issues with the refinery rates. However, trit is like gold to me and there is a serious lack of active bases on my server to raid enough for me needs. Each to their own, but this is a pass for me.
And 6 crystal, 8 ore and 10 gas total pieces of uncommon three star is worth even less to me as a reward as I can gender those in three days or so.
@misty spire you didn’t say you had 59k power ship your screen cap showed it compared to a 104k yellow enemy and even for a lvl 23 I mean what do u want me to say, I’ve never see a valky that low
Another ship destroying event where the rewarded tritanium does not compensate the necessary repairs required for the enormous goals. 80 kills of 32+ level ships, finding level 32 ships seems to be the first challenge, then the amount of trit for repairs, you end up in a negative.
Please make events more achievable, or the rewards worth the effort!! If mining rates were better, maybe the events would be worth it as they are, but at the moment trit takes too long to mine to recover from a deficit caused by an event that you have provided.
They nerf the ships ya need ffs..makes it way less than" fun".. more of a " chore"..
I see a lot of people saying the rewards don't compensate for the goals or are having trouble killing the required level ships. I'm at 26 with a 275k kumari and all I need to kill is level 30 for 20 points. To be honest it's incredibly easy. I can take out well over 20 ships each repair. If you are struggling with this event I would guess that you focused too much in your ops level then your ships and officers. Slow down your ops race and focus on a ship(kumari) you'll see positive results.
Btw the ore rewards are fantastic for this event, so ty devs and @prime gulch
@fiery ridge but you can get those amounts 3 times daily (or at least 2) from the event, if your refinery gives you those amounts then I guess you're very lucky.
@boreal canyon exactly! there's just one caveat, you get the more difficult requirements once you level up your OPS, no way a 24 can complete the event with a vahklas unless he waited for weeks on end at 22/23 to upgrade it to over 200K
@raw axle indeed, that is why I have stayed 26 for a while, I've heard and seen how much the requirements jump at 27
I’m 25 with 240k ns and I’m negative in both trit and dil. I can take out about 20-30 ships with no problem, but I need to hit 125 each 8 hours which means it’s at least 5 runs at 70k trit and 20k dil each. Totals to min 350k trit and 100k dil when the event gives back less than half of that
<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532> could you please ask the devs to either up the rss rewards or lower the targets. The even is seriously negative in trit and dil at lvl 25
@tropic folio totally agree, i said the same as soon as i saw the event yesterday
@tropic folio why not use a Kumari?
@raw axle I get much better results from NS than Kumari - and it’s cheaper and faster to repair
how strong is your Kumari?
The Kumari hitting non-faction explorers should do considerably better than the NS.
@raw axle 180k
Druidika - it's also more expensive to repair, so on a per trit/dil basis NS works out better
hrm for me with a 230K Kumari it is pretty cost effective (I still lose about 100K trit and couple K dil but that's acceptable for the other things I get)
@raw axle I lose about 150k trit and 60k dil per 8 hours
and with the Kumari? Mine costs 84K trit but only 10K dil to repair at 230K
@tropic folio same here. i guess u use a northstar too
but the 150k/80k are the costs after counting the the event prizes in
yes, of course
Don’t have any trouble killing 25 lvl 36 ships in one go. Usually have over half hull left after all milestones are completed. Focus more rss on ships and officers, max out everything before proceeding to the next ops lvl.
What ship do you use @flint gorge ?
@flint gorge Problem is I need to kill 125 ships 😃 if it was 25 - it would be easy
Anyone else still seeing exorbitant repair times after the maintainence? I'm back to a 3hr repair time on my legionary.
Yup these goobers have removed khan repairs and left repair time where it was as far as i can see
Next patch that needs a post patch patch. Like everytime...
Event time is 8h, need 3h for every repair. So I could take part twice. When I'm lucky I can reach first stage.
Or I take a lot of money to buy repair boost or Latinum for instant repair or I will pair a salary for a big ship.
Maybe I don't care about this new pay2win event. Thanks for taking out the free2play guys from next event...
@midnight tulip don't you get speedups from doing dailies?
@raw axle they dont give u enough to complete the event going on right now
why not? I accumulated about 400*30 minutes... getting 16 each day for the duration of the Kahn event...
@raw axle i do get them from daylies. I'm lucky to speed up one repair by 50% 😅
well you have to be clever about when to use them 😉
@raw axle if i could kill all the lvl 31 faction ships i would get 10 30min repair speed ups but it takes over 2 hours to repair my vahklas with everything upgraded alrady
Not sure if it's intended to collect them for months to use them in one event
@midnight tulip probably not, I just had almost no use for them with the much shorter repair times during the event
@rigid pine hrm what ops level are you?
Btw. I'm not able to finish the Faction ship daylies due to lack of power
@raw axle lvl 24 with all my explorer research done and my drydock when my ship pulls in it say it will take 2hrs 8min to repair then when i hit the repair button it jumps up to 2hrs 20min
@raw axle the repair times r broken again and worst than it was before the khan event
@rigid pine hrm ok with my Kumari it's pretty easy to kill those faction dailies... I only need 29 for now and I'm doing dual faction so I get double the repair speedups
what crew are you using on the Vakhlas?
and for me repair times are about identical to pre-Kahn
BUT I have leveled up my drydock from 24 to 25 lol
@raw axle i am using the enterprise crew with it and what lvl faction ships do u have to kill 25 of
I need to kill 25 lvl 29 hostiles, try Uhura as captain with Kirk & T'laan
(for attacking interceptors with vakhlas)
i have to kill 25 lvl 31
my ship can only take out 2 then it comes back with a 2hr 20 min repair
