I appreciate Scopely gave us an estimate of when we can use the borg points. Thank you.
winged axle
Let's hope it is a correct date this time 😅
static gorge
lol, yeah. But it's the attempt that counts to me.
marsh sundial
Go back to the officer upgrade events where you actually upgraded officers with xp. This getting shards thing is too RNG dependent.
vagrant topaz
@static gorge that's the spirit! Set the bar low and you'll never be disappointed (spoilers, you will anyway)
astral flame
The changes to Officer Upgrade events are awful. Worse yet, the overall scaling down of rewards from numerous events.
P.S. Fix ship combat lockout lag. It's 2020 already.
vagrant topaz
The rewards aren't bad, the rng to complete it is 🐂 💩
midnight knoll
Hello, could someone tell me when the epic borg reward tokens can be exchanged??
BTW the new offi events aren't bad, good way to get unc ship parts
vagrant topaz
@midnight knoll someone already told you...try actually reading the ingame news bulletins before you cl9se them to hit the alliance help requests...
The new format for officer events is terrible, a full 4k ultra pull doesn't always max out the heroic unless you get lucky. For whales it's almost certainly a great change but for f2p it's a giant middle finger. Using faction recruit tokens isn't a long term solution either, not if you actually want better ships in this lifetime. This change is clearly intended to force across the board spending...lb's are going to be a total clusterfudge
spark cypress
Had to spend more faction credits to upgrade officers than you would to recruit (and never use). Just means saving up recruit tokens for the events.
midnight knoll
@vagrant topaz no one already told me.... What a nice way to answer, maybe try some pantoprazol
fair dock
Nice change in the officer event type guys with sweet tritanium outcome hopefully you don’t change all the events now to tritanium otherwise we will run out of steel 😂🤣😂

We want Call to Arms! Bring on the separatists!

@fair dock what level are you?
@stray harbor call to arms is raiding, fractured empire is separatists

Thanks CS.

Hey @open otter lvl 28 now after a long period being 27 😂

Faction Hunt....again....u’ve listed events ppl voted on Run 1 of those! Did FH het 1st/2nd/3rd in ur pole?
open otter
If that a ranked event? @fair dock
fair dock
Yeah it’s a Sololeaderboard
But I prefer the heroic milestone version gives me 7 m guaranteed for less recruit tokens then participating with spenders
open otter
How many uncommons in that?
fair dock
24 uc crystal 2 rare
For the heroic and the ship parts an xp is a little bit less but not bad really appreciate these changes
open otter
It'll be a but harder to compete those, however they'll reward more in the end
fair dock
As you see I’m f2p and made the most with premium reward tokens 1 ultra chest and the rest faction recruit tokens to get it at the end I invested to much but you can’t stop the pulls if they are ongoing got a lucky Mara pull
astral galleon
Need a PVP event where you get points for killing other player ships within a certain range. Scopley would reap a billion dollars in rage spending
wet vale
Very hard to do a PVP event that doesn't just encourage win trading
tall hearth
no pls no, i dont want that, only survey kills :S
astral galleon
The game is farmville and the pvp mechanics are garbage
They need to fix the pvp element of the game and do some events that bring that facet of the game back to ... well the game.
tall hearth
I think they stopped doing pvp events because a lot of people left the game because of that
astral galleon
No they didn't
They did one almost a year and change ago.
everyone LOVED it.
never came back
always wondered why
tall hearth
I have been told something very different, but well I do not want to see it that I would only see my poor mining ships die
astral galleon
I guess if you want to devolve this into a barely functional farming simulator that's fine, but that's whats going to drive people away. The sheer boredom of the same mining or farming events every week.
They should die
Otherwise, why are you upgrading war ships? 🙂
astral galleon
from what ... miners?

woo enjoying faction hunts, thanks

night herald
I’m not sure if I’m the only one that at lvl32 cannot destroy lvl35 swarm, how is scopely think we should finish the swarm Beyon Heroic? I mean 2 point for lvl32 swarms. Come on Scopely be more fair.
winged axle
Dont upgrade your ops before your ships are strong enough 🤷♂️
frosty belfry
So officer shards that are converted to XP do not contribute to the new officer event points, this seems silly..
dark horizon
considering that shards dont even convert correctly to points for the rest, that is not unexpected
frosty belfry
The banners are always problematic, need before and after comparison for those ones (which may still be wrong, but can't rely on the banner still).
vagrant topaz
@night herald my heroic is 525 points with 32s giving 2 points and 35s 10 points...I still do it on 32's as my maxed Franklin would need 10+ runs at 35s vs the less than 3 runs it takes vs 32s. If you're struggling with swarm events you levelled ops before your Franklin was ready
night herald
@vagrant topaz I did not check or to be honest did not think it was going to jump that high, but still is not balanced. No lvl32 can take on lvl35 swarm.
vagrant topaz
Then don't...stick to 32s
night herald
The game is way off balance when it comes to event goals.
vagrant topaz
It's what 360 points for top milestone? 1hr with a decent franklin...
With nearly a year of swarm related bs it's not like you haven't had time to learn and adapt
night herald
My event is 375. Is your less?
vagrant topaz
At 36 swarms and lat Monday jump massively...375 to 525 and 1.6mil to 2.88mil respectively
night herald
Their no balance to the game. I’m working on my Saladin and Intrepid that I have no resource for anything else.
vagrant topaz
Like I said I have a maxed Franklin and near maxed research and buildings for my level (38) so I get around 97 32s per hull...it takes a little over an hour for heroic
night herald
I’m no where near that on my Franklin.
vagrant topaz
Well it doesn't need uc or rare components to upgrade and the heroic gives decent trit...frequency modulators is just time and patience
night herald
Like I said all my resources are going to my two ship and research.
But I see what you saying
vagrant topaz
Focus on sally and divert treps share to Franklin whenever an upgrade is possible (guns first, always guns first)
night herald
I will check to see how I’m doing with modulator. Let me check right now.
vagrant topaz
You'll hit a rare and uc wall with sally and trep unless you're spending anyway so siphoning some trit and dili into franklin won't even be missed
Also a motivator is that a maxed Franklin costs 1/3 as much rss and 1/6 the time to repair compared to a maxed sally...so there's that too
night herald
Yes I’m already hitting that wall. 240 rare crystal per weapon. Plus my miner the Fed ship requiere a lot of rare too. Intrepid also need rare. Not so much.
vagrant topaz
Any idea of the Franklin event.
hardy knoll
@prime gulch any idea why half of my alliance got military supremacy and half of the alliance did not get it?
valid phoenix
@hardy knoll we do not know the requirements for military supremacy. It appears to be level based, and unbuilt ships based. But no idea why some get it and others do not.
hardy knoll
Levelbased is not, due to the same level guys in my alliance got the event
@valid phoenix who might know about.
valid phoenix
its not strictly level based. there are other factors, but the dev have not told us. The dev are the only ones that know and they have not provided us with that information.
vagrant topaz
They can be redeemed tomorrow (April 22nd) as per ingame newsboard.
stone tiger
I mean, I’m only mining with 1 ship because I don’t stand a chance but how exactly am I supposed to have a shot when I (l25) have envoys and they (up to l31) have faction miners? Top 10 gets a reward. These events were balanced and fair until level 20. It’s beyond delusional to think this is fair, it needs to be tiered by shipyard / research availability.
Obviously most of them are mining latinum and I can’t get a d’vor unless I play less, shield more and wait 1 year, so obviously latinum mining is just for old and paying players, so my complaint is more directed to mining events in general.
What is military supremacy again? @valid phoenix I haven't had it since I passed level 14 about 4 months ago
Just hostile shooting?
I also haven't had race to ops since I passed level 14
Maybe these are bugs, since I don't recall higher level players having event issues until they changed the ship and officer events a month ago, which seems to have been for everyone
sterile rain
What's today's event?
vagrant topaz
Agree with @stone tiger, same issue here! I’m lvl24, can’t compete with lvl 30, not possible!
plush hedge
Leaderboard events in general are never a fair playing field. Even if you had a d'vor you still couldn't compete for the leaderboard.
vagrant topaz
Biggest joke is lat rush lb awards d'vor parts...like the top 10 actually need those. Move the d'vor parts to the solo milestone event instead. If us scrubs start tiering up our d'vors and threatening the status quo in the lb the big boys will spend more to keep their positions. Makes us happy and scopely money so win win
idle hazel
the rewards for this event is peanuts compared to my repair cost....no thanks guys:-)

plush hedge
Yeah - battle for glory rewards are really tiny. I'm not looking for another faction hunt sized hostile event, but maybe make the event a little harder with bigger rewards?
obtuse wraith
These rewards at 40 are a joke, it doesnt recuperate the cost of repairs 1M T nealy 100k Dil per destroyed ship. The parstel and dil are a so low it borders an insult. A few 4* but please rest is just 💩
random oriole
The rewards are a joke and they just increased the Battle for Glory SOLO event requirements. Lvl43 hostiles for 20pts, lvl42 for 6pts. It was lvl40/41 last week for 20pts. Only change was an upgrade to refinery 38 with Ops 40. Utter horse shit. Lvl39s now = 1pt.
Rewards still suck and your repair costs are 10fold more if you choose to even do the solo event.
Loyalty to play rewarded with 💩 to the face
plush hedge
Judging an event by whether it pays for repairs isn't a good metric. The real question is what are you getting in exchange for your repair costs. And the answer, we can all agree is "not nearly enough". Although, in honesty, I think I spent one repair on BFG at L36 - ymmv
open marlin
Been a while since we had an armada event. That might be nice to see this weekend maybe.
river merlin
No thank you
boreal canyon
Armada events are silly, they all get destroyed within the first hour. Then you spend the rest of it scanning so many systems looking it makes me nauseous. And the events require you to defeat like 30 uc ones for top tier rewards.
tired egret
For a good Armada Event the Spawn Rate of the Armada NPC s need to be much higher! i Think x3 Spawnrate or more to be fair for all. Last Time i search hours to find two or three 250k Armadas and waste my Armada Directivs for get a few Points.....
open otter
How about no Armada events?
finite wraith
Will there be a bonus Refinery soon???
minor glen
Nope. Sold it for D’Vor parts
sharp token
@tired egret 3x the spawn rate? more like 10 or 20x
spawn rate is already too low when there is no event, if you have many directives to use, it doesn't take long before you're not able to use them due to there being none available, during an event it's just stupid
open otter
We already got a bonus refinery this month, we'll probably get another one in May @finite wraith

Raise torch and pitchfork.... Hey Scopely, where is that borg store you said would be ready today???
brisk river
Thought we were supposed to be able to redeem our borg points today
wild nebula
Scopely said we could redeem epic borg points by the 22nd. We'll guess what, it's the 22nd an I see no mechanism to redeem these tokens.
pale estuary
279 divided by 45 = 6 .... remainder 9.
hasty jay
@icy river That is for future update. Turn in tokens under event store.
hardy imp
Borg store is a big let down
vernal isle
Seriously? Can you guys even do math? Those of us who did everything have 9 pointless tokens (considering these rewards vs the effort and money needed to get them) that will be usable in yet another future borg event, and that reward store is a rip. No borg officer shards? No vidar bps for people who didn’t get a full unlock?
pale estuary
It's a test of our patience - in an hour they're going to drop the real rewards, so don't spent yet.
wraith halo
<@&509690795536941056> relay to Scopely CEOs that the amount of efforts put into the borg events do NOT match what this 'reward' crap redemption is.
and that if you keep pulling crap like this you're going to lose your player base
icy river
Thanks @hasty jay I'm glad Scopely made that clear distinction between the Borg Store that has nothing in it and the Event Store with.... Well nothing of value in it.
celest cairn
Borg event with no Borg based rewards? I thought at least players who were painfully close to being able to unlock or upgrade Borg officers might at least get the chance to get the final tokens, even if the exchange rate to get them was high... seems like a bit of a slap in the face
stray copper
A chest does not equate with a store. This was absolutely stupid. Why have a borg event with rewards that have nothing to do with the Borg? What a waste
quick needle
So many things they could’ve done, like multiple options. Also nice to see that higher levels get better value for the tokens, so loads of effort at lower levels isn’t valued
I was hoping to be able to get blueprints, shards or pick a type of refined grade 3
fair dock
I try to see all the time a positive aspect in it now a lot of players have something to raid, but that’s all
vernal isle
borg officers better all be in loot pools for officer pulls by the end of the week.
This barely adds up to a good week of refines for the mats.

What a complete let-down. Dopely hyped this event store up for a week for what? Rss?
How are we supposed to continue gaining Borg officer shards? This is a disgrace.

@eredin exactly, take monthly reward, multiply by 3... That's what was expected

I bought the $50 borg pack once in each of the three events. The reward from this event is less then desired after 3 months 🙂

I gotta say Scopely has outdone itself this time, the grind for the last 3 months plus purchase of items to get the extra stuff and this is how we are treated. Well won’t spend another cent here - period.
thorn zephyr
It's not that the rewards were awful more that options....15 epic token a purple officer token. Ya know. A few speed ups....the ability to spend the points like in a store....if it was money you could have sold packs during the conclusion event containing those tokens
vernal isle
@split junco if only more would follow suit
thorn zephyr
Guys the Borg event was really good overall and then you boot the players in the face....the ones who play and spend most too
To get those tokens you had to be active or spending. Your most valuable players

novel totem
I don't complain about the free reward. It's cherry on the top of the already good event rewards during arcs 1 to 3. However the lack of choice and building the hype for the reward was just misleading in comparison what you would get. There could have been a choice of Vidar BPs, Office Tokens, Officer Badges, Res etc. I also expected a special reward if you managed to collect the max amount of epic tokens (although we kinda got the borg frame...).
The most annoyning thing however is, that we don't know how the borg tokens will be redeemed in the future. Is it better to save them? Or will the 22 left over badges (or whatever your number is) just be part of much bigger mass of exponential more borg tokens which are awarded in the future?
glad elk
It’s not that it’s not a cherry on top, it’s the last cherry from a forgotten jar on top. Might as well save them, don’t feel I’m losing anything.

@novel totem I agree choice should have been the route taken.

Hahaha grovel why dont you

Should call them mediocre tokes. At the end of a borg event you should turn in for borg rewards, rewards last year you got to choose what you wanted 1/10, 5/10, bps.
obtuse wraith
It's not a cherry, cherrys are sweet and make the top of the cake. Yes they should have done better, it's what I also expected. But their creative and customer engaging minds... this is just insulting. To finish the cake the crowned it with a cigarette butt.
thorn zephyr
Yes all in the delivery and this was an awful let down after 12 weeks of grind
A response like this from the community is also perfectly predictable which make it yet worse....it really looks like some approved this and clearly they didnt care about their most active players

And how do you end up with extra tokens at the end if you can only get a specific amount of tokens. You should zero out after redeeming them. Lame rewards for the event really lame!!!

@obtuse wraith agree, i was really waiting for some officer to choose from at least or some other non raidable resource, as it is they could add also some station shields

It isnt about armadas so let's not muddy the waters. I'm fairly sure the surveys they sent out over the 3 arcs will have come back largely positive......now send one out for this

Look the word Epic sets an expectation. I if what we received during the arcs were premium rewards, then Epic rewards should surpass that. This bundle is a nice freebie, now where are the Epic rewards?
obsidian pumice
Who is in charge of basic math over at Scopely? More importantly how do they think it's reasonable to put us through double events for 3 straight months, then we walk away with a picture frame that has no game value and LESS than the rewards for a monthly loyalty chest after 3x the work.
peak glen
Yo but my tribble looks dope in that frame 💩

In one word: CHEAP
plush hedge
In all honesty, I wasn't really disappointed with the epic rewards. I had no expectations that it was going to be amazing. I did expect some shards and was hoping for some independent credits. But, I didn't think the epic arc bonus rewards would be any more than the individual arc rewards, and they weren't.
blissful zealot
Avoid using the term "epic" unless it matches similarly themed existing items. So epics are purple / aramada / ship bps or epic officers.
Rare/Unc are not epic.
You diluted the meaning / value of the term "epic"
plush hedge
However, if scopely does increase the rewards after people we've cashed in the tokens, I'll be furious.

The most cynical expectations should never, ever be the correct ones.

payed for the Borg packs and spend the time to grind all these events out.. which take hours a day to complete over 3 month and THAT is what we get for our hard work....we should get our tokens back and you guys try again

A Epic chest or a Choose your own reward store would have been a much better idea

I honestly was expecting borg hero and vidar shards to be in the store. maybe a nice avatar option. Some kind of cool final event too, like a bosd fight.

I’m extremely disappointed with the rewards for this event. However, the failure doesn’t surprise me coming from scopely

You Promised us a special reward for earning lots of Epic Tokens.
I can get more in a single week of gameplay from the Loyalty tokens, than a single one of your chests.
I have managed to do so consistently for months.
To say I am disappointed in this rewards is an understatement on the level of a politician trawling for votes. You have manged to utterly kill any hope of seeing a decent hidden reward out of you. There were so many better ways you could have done this, so many things we would have almost thrown money at you for... and you do... this... instead.
Please, send whoever did this back to marketing school. They need to learn their trade properly this time.

dusky arch
Now that my head has cooled down, i can tell you honestly what i think. And take it as a message to the devs and game owners. During the 3 months of borg events we have been receiving premium rewards. We were falsely promised we will get epic rewards as a reward for doing the events and gaining epic tokens. Now look up the words premium and epic in a dictionary and see the difference. The epic rewards are a joke and an insult to your money contributors. You should value the people who contribute to your money making and your wages. But you just value the money, not the people investing in your game. Sadly thats something you should work on. I feel angry, disappointed and insulted by your approach. The 30 days loyalty resource reward has a bigger value than your epic rewards!

Well that just goes to show what scopely think of us as players. What an absolute joke. Disgusted and disappointed doesn’t come close enough.

Okay, I just saw the Epic Borg Reward store chest... WHAT THE ACTUAL WHAT IS THAT?! Holy cow. That's not "epic" I was expecting lots of options with all kinds of options and large amounts of res, ship blueprints of all event ships, and officer shards. This is... below mediocre.
I had a GREAT time with the event. Loved every minuet of it. First part was a bit rough, but it got better. To work so hard, and get so little. Really?!

Epic Borg rewards were a joke, 3 months work for that was pathetic, I was hoping for ship blueprint/officer options etc

Generally liked the arc style events, a bit too much repeat in certain events but not lacking I. Rewards, needing lots of play time.
Looking back at all that time played, I did expect more choice or less pale (and risky) rewards for epic Borg tokens.
Please make Vidar available for my alliance members that didn't get around to it.
modern urchin
I am underwhelmed to say the least,... we were promised a "Special" reward for our efforts. 60 UC is not that special, it doesn't cover the 750 crystals I need for my Shipyard, 1800 I need for my T6 Sally or 3600 for my K'vort.
The raw mats are nice, but without the UC and Rares I am sat on a pile of steel, and trit already being a nice jucy target for a whale to hit me...
I was unable to unlock the Borg officers and there is no way I can add more shards to them presently.
I am saving mine, maybe I can cash them in for some Batleth tokens, I really wanted some choice to what we spend them on like previous event stores...If not and I loose them well they will forever stay in my inventory as a reminder to how inept Scopely are...
charred jewel
Agree. This was probably the most underwhelming and disappointing reward to a major event I have seen to date from Scopely. Great event. Awesome build up, and then, this hot mess.
vagrant topaz
Only winners here are scopely accountants and opportunistic raiders.
Seriously though, just raw rss with no tokens? The absence of a pick and mix store is bad but all that rss just dumped in our stations is somehow worse...
tired sigil
60 uncommon nice
vagrant topaz
Is it though? When your cheap buildings are 300 uc each it is nothing. I can get more from refinery in a day.
vagrant topaz
Worth noting that past a certain level only the rss was lvl scaled...60 uc for a lvl30? Kinda nice I guess. 60 uc for a lvl38? Total slap in the face.
Lvl38 box...note the only difference is the raw rss (still miniscule compared to costs)
modern urchin
Yeah the UC amounts are tiny compared to what you need. I would have expected to be able to exchange them for missing Vidar prints, Missing Officer Shards, Even Borg resources to upgrade the Vidar would have been better than this!! Honestly we were promised "Epic" rewards but this isn't even luke warm.

As feared "epic" borg rewards really were not epic. 60 uncommon for a level 30 is less than 1/10th the unc needed for a single component so ptui and those rares, less than 1/50th the amount needed.
sonic robin
1/10? I need 1800 for one saladin part
vagrant topaz
Ship costs are subjective, we aren't all at the same rate of progression. Using building costs a lvl30 receives about 1/3 the cost of a building for a lvl38 its about 1/5
sonic robin
Eh sy needs 500, I get 60...
vagrant topaz
I'm using minor buildings as an example like foundry etc
Sy 37 was 1600 uc iirc (38 was 200 rare)
Either way a lvl30 will feel justifiably cheated...at lvl 36+ we are f-ing livid
Most other event rewards and loyalty boxes scale uc and rare rewards for player lvl...this joke of a reward only level scaled the basic rss
night herald
@vagrant topaz I can agree with you more. They just want us to paid, no customer reward.
vagrant topaz
Honestly though we are more angry about the type of reward than the pitiful quantities therein
night herald
Scopely act like they don’t play the game and not aware of what it take to move up. They don’t have a clue of the resources needed.
vagrant topaz
Promised a special reward purchased with epic tokens from an event store...we were lead to believe it would be a pick n mix scenario similar to the seperatist event store
Not a heavily redacted loyalty box
night herald
What I would hate if they now decide to open another store and we spend all our token.
vagrant topaz
Would be pretty much on brand
modern urchin
I am not spending mine and hopefully I can redeem or exchange them in another event. I really wish @prime gulch would clarify by what they intend to let us do with left over tokens. 60 UC is kinda meh and I can raid Par and Tri easily enough
silent marsh
What were you smoking? Epic borg credits dont make me laugh ive done a more epic sh!t come on we all wanted a borg cube....
vivid cove
Yeah, agree with what's been said. Underwhelmed. There was nothing Epic here. EPIC would have been some TenofTen shards, other borg related stuff...a cube...even a TenofTen avatar would have at least been in the theme of the event. But this? I had to level up a ship I don't even use much just to get rid of some if that loose trit because, heaven forbid, the refinery would give me the unc I need to level a useful ship. #Disappointing #NotWorthTheEffort
scarlet escarp
To be fair we got the chance at most officers, we got a new ship, tons of good rewards and this chest was a little extra in the background. Would just like to be able to carry on gaining shards for the Borg through recruit boxes now.. no experience from other events though so not sure how this compares. Borg cube would be nice though... 😈
modern urchin
@scarlet escarp No chance to get Borg Jaylah without spending $$$$$$$$£££££££ - 10of10 was a total lottery and required waking up at 3hr intervals, something I was not willing to do for my own mental well being.
I am stuck with 30 odd shards of both and no way to fully unlock them
scarlet escarp
Yeh same that's why I don't have them either... Not spending too much and waking up at intervals but yano being able to earn them along the way now would solve alot of issues I have
modern urchin
The event store should have had more options - i dont need resources as I can raid it or cash in tokens and 60 UC shards is not going to pay for a single building or ship upgrade. Even Vidar or Dvor prints would have been more useful to most people..
scarlet escarp
I agree. Felt like we where starved of trit rewards leading up to the chest to be thankful for the trit in them 😂
mossy bone
They can fix this easy, three full rounds of bonus refine free, no resource cost.
zinc thicket
Or let us pick rewards
quick moth
Bring back the officer experience events. They were far better rewards than the crap events for shards we have now!!!!!
tulip agate
I've got to agree with @quick moth , these new officer and ship events absolutely suck.
azure salmon
I must say that i am very disapionted in the final reward from the borg event. Proclaimming there would be fantastic and great prizes isn' t true.
thin badge
Yes. For three months of work, i feel very let down.
turbid badge
No announcement about package, I guess $copley is trying to sweep that under the rug 😂🤣
rain oar
Been more than a month since last armada event. When is the next one, and when will Scopely either create more armada stations or significantly reduce respawn times. Past week on server 140 you can’t find an armada over level 27 for love nor money after work. Except for epics which cost a bomb
neon oasis
Ranked 1 and sometimes if I close out of this, I don't get my rewards
that's a waste of rss and mat and it is really crappy to not get awards
And these events where it takes 80 uc to get like 12 back and a tiny amount of steel and xp is bs too
river merlin
Welcome to the sleeper game
modern urchin
Yeah these new ship upgrade events really suck donkeys balls
@rain oar we really don't need more Armada events. I have 6000 uncommon directives I cant use as I can never find one at my level. I could always solo a low low level one in my miner but its really quite laborious
open otter
Solo leaderboard is stupid, please tighten the level banding, level 19s should never be competing with level 37s, nor should someone below level 30
scarlet escarp
Yeah it's a nice idea but I can't compete with a lvl 39 at lvl 26 .. lul 🤣 🤣
mild glacier
We’ve said this a thousand times: solo leaderboards need to be SAME OPS LEVEL ONLY!. Global leaderboards leave 99.99% of the population with the attitude of “why bother”
plush hedge
Thanks scopely for creating a biominerals event not aligned to daily resets so that half our alliance members can't earn points today
open otter
Lol, i did one daily literally 10 minutes before the event began
shut lichen
Why are the solo leaderboard brackets so utterly hopeless... I'm ops 28, vs ops 38 in a swarm damage event?!
whole notch
And what level 38 wants intrepid blueprints 🤣
shut lichen
Is it so unimaginable to give a small number of players at each respective ops level a couple uncommon mats?
(level based leaderboard brackets)
tall hearth
@shut lichen no brackets
whole notch
And rank 26+ get common crystal 🤣 and a few thousand trit.
I imagine in some servers this is a decent prize, but with no level banding, it's more of a joke than the 'Epic' Borg rewards
tall hearth
I think Scopely doesn't know how to kill his community and that's why he gives us 💩 prizes
shut lichen
@tall hearth there has to be a "bracket" on a leaderboard, "from something to something" is the bracket I'm saying only same ops level in each leaderboard should be logical. Make the reward pool smaller if the player pool is smaller... There's logical solutions to this, but never seems to change.
tall hearth
@shut lichen I agree with you, but my comment was to warn you that there were no "brackets" in that event, I wish it was as you said, only 1 level, 2 at most
winged axle
still pebble
Threat From Beyond LB is has nice rewards and looks fair till you notice that it is not bracketed you are doing low levels 14 competeing with lvl 50's...Scopely this is another Fail in my opinion. The second in a week if you count the "Not-So-Epic Reward Token- Redeem.

Hey i have a question for the overall bestlist in the swarm event: how should a level 24 player reach a top 10 place against level 30+ players thats simply not possible. They can fight much stronger swarms and get much more points per hit than i can get. Thats not fair i think.
And a little bit dissapointing
winged axle
pliant vigil
Thx for invite but im already in that channels. I thoughts thats the right one for my eventfeedback
winged axle
Ah no.That links should send you to a message posted by a moderator like me in galaxy chat and saying level brackets will change tomorrow @pliant vigil
pliant vigil
Ah now i get it. Thx 😃🖖
winged axle
pliant vigil
@winged axle can i ask you another question ?
winged axle
Sure
pliant vigil
It looks like my points dont count in the alliance event
winged axle
Hmm.Did you change alliance during event? @pliant vigil
pliant vigil
No but 8 think 8 found the problem. I do my dailies tasks in the morning and so i think thats the point
Is this possible.
?
winged axle
Have you done any swarm dailies after event started?
shut lichen
Thanks for the updates.
winged axle
Yes
kindred isle
so our mystery epic reward was a borg avatar border?lmao
frosty belfry
"we'll do better for the next arc" and "event store" suggest we'll get other rewards coming soon @kindred isle
The mystery reward was still the resources, they just rolled it back 😋
past beacon
Apologies for the tag @prime gulch (I know you get a slew of them) -- I would like to request that the solo officer upgrade and solo ship upgrade events reintegrate XP points. I could understand if the Leaderboards retain no XP and only officer cards collected and ship resources spent, since these are competitive, but those Milestone events need a better way to score. Keep the cards and resources requirements, but please put back in XP. I would not mind much if the XP needed was twice what it used to be, even thrice, but it feels really limiting on what you can get on these common everyday events. I used to save all my XP to spend when I could get a little something back, but now I get nothing for my XP except for Domination, assuming that does not get revamped too. I am constructing and upgrading ships for scrapping, and now I have no way to level the ships and get a return now, since even the G2 resources are not counting, being level 20 and needing G3. Just asking that the patient F2P people can get rewards for their longsuffering. Thank you, and may Yeshua bless you and yours! A-men.
PS -- Power Gained through Research and Building would also be a nice re-addition, too.
hardy imp
@past beacon You’re saying these ship events aren’t appearing for you? I see these and officer XP events nearly every day.
frosty belfry
@hardy imp a lot of us now have spend variants instead. Personally I felt ship XP was too rarely awarded to do much with these events (just burn lat..), the officer XP events would become a problem as you hit the pay wall (need those badges to keep promoting.. now points for getting uncommon or better shards), and the old research events were vague and expensive (now awards points on Dil and uncommons/rares spent for research).
They're different though and remove the rewards you could have gotten from tiering up lower grade ships for scrapping. Scopely should just run both variants 🤷♂️
winged axle
I think they should add trit to ship events as well
Officer and recruit is amazing and easy to do but ship is a lot harder so adding trit would help a lot
plain vortex
You should make the swarm solo leaderboards bracketed because as a lvl 24 there is no way I can compete with lvl 36's
winged axle
@plain vortex will be changed tomorrow
past beacon
only once in a blue moon now, @hardy imp , but I know events differ by level and server sometimes
and those are points I had not completely considered @frosty belfry
thank you
frosty belfry
No one considers them until it's a problem 😂 there are pros and cons, but I think it's good that Scopely is at least trying and are addressing some issues in the events, but some should have been both new and old variants 😬
winged axle
🤷♂️
past beacon
very true indeed, but a mix of options covers both bases
winged axle
They should combine both events instead of running both type of events at the same time
Add ship exp to ship events but increase the points unc/rare gives and milestones.Same for Officer event
signal tapir
I miss the old officer upgrade events
Although that would force me to promote someone
frosty belfry
Tell me about it, having to spend my faction credits to spend XP.. and eventually you'll get stuck on badges anyway 😅

Swarm events are amazing
Idk where you are, but the only way you don't like them is if you don't have ships properly leveled

I love swarm events the rewards are amazing sure to upgrade the Franklin it needs patience but well we all should have time and if not you can buy a pack

Why is there one single event ranking for all when higher level swarms bring more points than lower levels? Low ops players though don‘t have any chance to compete for the rewards.

my only regret for swarm sunday events is that they don't include FM
vagrant topaz
Is there any plans to launch the borg tribble officer again?
stray harbor
For about a week or so, there was a calendar of events appearing at game startup. Would be nice to have that back.
stone tiger
What's the point of yet another event that requires a ship that is not obtainable? I'm at level 25 somewhere at the very low end of the top 800 fighting against level 38 players with Franklins. There is no way I can get anywhere near it. I've done my dailies and I'm not even on 20 million, whereas the highest ranking player is level 38 and has over 5.5 billion points.
I cannot stress how dumb this is
The top 100 get rewards, on #100 is a player on level 33 with over 400 million points.
This is just as dumb as those stupid mining events. My envoys can't beat horizons, they can't beat faction miners, they can't beat D'vors, it's impossible, stop facing me against people 10 levels higher than I am.
sonic robin
A common complaint since many a month I'm afraid
viscid phoenix
@stone tiger the swarm event will be bracketed when it restarts later. It was confirmed by the mods last night
The current format makes no sense for me even at level 33 with a maxed Franklin since higher level players have additional swarm research that aids them further.

That balancing sucks... as a lvl28 you have no chance against level 39
limber marsh
Same as yesterday, only change is the reward?
hushed elk
They were meant to change the groups for the swarm event, but only changed the rewards groups, not the actual groups
So much for this, huh? 🤷♂️
Hopefully they actually do something about this, the lower people stand NO chance even placing top 50, let alone winning anything, where as i could place top 10 or even top 50 easily enough if i was with people my own level
winged axle
@hushed elk it did changed actual level brackets
I dont compete with lvl34+ now at lvl33
tall hearth
level 22-25 for me i think
tall hearth
but why the diferent reward? i miss the lat and the marcus shards XD
the only good is the lat XD
winged axle
Well you cant have all
tall hearth

winged axle
You gotta chose.Rewards or better brackets 🤷♂️
golden heart
The epsilon token has been removed from our 40+ swarm leaderboard making participation worthless- can someone clarify this is intentional @cobalt elm
winged axle
@tall hearth also at your level you dont need Trep bps
golden heart
This is a normal 2 basic refinery pull for me 🤷🏻♂️
winged axle
That is why I tell people dont go above ops39
hushed elk
I am level 29 and competing against level 35s and that is fixed??
And there's also level 27s in my group
vagrant topaz
Last time round epsilon was 4k faction credits of your choice
winged axle
@hushed elk should be lvl27-33 not 35.Because I dont have lvl34+ at lvl33
Do you want it to be like yesterday? Level 1-39 and lvl40-50?
They changed.Is it perfect?No as everything in the game.Is it better?Definitely yes
hushed elk
26 - 34 is what I know for sure
golden heart
Ah @vagrant topaz in that case it’s junk. I’ll just stop
hushed elk
Mayflower vs Enterprise
tall hearth
@winged axle can ask that in the event that they give parts for the dvor tops 4 and 5 also win some pieces?
hushed elk
That's like your arm is broken, let's put a bit of tape on it and it'll be fixed
winged axle
I dont have lvl34s in my bracket at lvl33,so prove that you have 34 please
@tall hearth it isnt Dvor related event so 🤷♂️.What would be good is modulators for Franklin
hushed elk
Isn't 26-33 still a stupid grouping anyway?
tall hearth
maybe low population of players in +30 levels?
winged axle
@hushed elk better than lvl1-39
@tall hearth they have Dvor parts in solo Ferengi Monday leaderboard event
hushed elk
Not really, everyone other than the top level people have 0 chance
winged axle
Not really
tall hearth
@winged axle i know but only for top 1 to 3
im asking to tops 4 and 5 in solo Ferengi Monday leaderboard event can win dvor parts to
winged axle
Now lvl28-30 can rank in top 25 at least while you culdnt even rank in top100 yesterday
hushed elk
In my group right now, the top 10 are all level 32 and 33
winged axle
Then there is low levels like Dark who can rank in top 3 easily because they dont have high levels
hushed elk
Yes, your right, but the groupings are still too large, 500k ship vs 1.5m ship
winged axle
As I said is it perfect?No but it is definitely better than before
What would be perfect is 2 level brackets but then nothing in this game is perfect
tall hearth
@winged axle the events need a max of 5 levels bracket to be fair
hushed elk
How to complain? Who to complain to?
There's numerous events where I'm competing with level 34s
Or higher now, since they are the highest power people on my server
Like all of the solo leaderboard now, like officer, ship etc are all dominated by people who are up to FOUR times higher than me
hushed elk
I hit level 28 and go from having an equal grouping to the biggest load of crap imaginable, and won't stand a chance of placing well ever
tall hearth
the little ones can also win (at least in some event) in the solo ferengi lb, finish 4th at 500k of the 3rd (I stayed 2 hours without node x2 of lat)
and that was 24 hours of mining the lat, ore and loot everyone who could (im level 25 vs 31 in that event
golden heart
Yeah I remember it now you’ve said @vagrant topaz . But obviously as it’s now removed , the leaderboard prizes are garbage. It’s a days refinery for me , which I can’t even really use
vagrant topaz
Win all 3 rounds and you can afford a lv26 favtion ship!
tall hearth
i want that XD
golden heart
Yep. As you know, everything you do at these levels costs money. So in those pack are g4 anyway
winged axle
@tall hearth you need to fight with 40s for that token
golden heart
Trit I’m getting 1.2b a pack and need 4-5 for every module at least so trit is in abundance. 40m for first place effort is paltry
tall hearth
not fair but ok
golden heart
What do I need? 200b steel for ops 46 from my current position
About 4 billion dil to get to shipyard 46

fast lagoon
I feel that the rewards in the swarm event are unjustifiable to bother competing.
I feel like they are given on the false assumption that everyone competing is using just the franklin to compete in the event, which would certainly justify the rewards in RSS given. example 5-10 is 1.9 million tritanium. 10 runs to kill lvl 30's will net me around 450 million points, if I use my lego with pike and my centurian with blue bones. but I spend about 400k trit on repairs each run. so that's 4 million trit spent on 10 runs. which is double what im getting for the run. and 6 crystal...whoopie....
I need 1200 crystal to upgrade 2 components on my horizon to get it to warp 40.
Why the hell would I bother with this ranked event?
Someone justify it.
Almost every single event that is ranked is unjustifiable.
Like officer events, easy right? but I'd have save officer XP for months to even hope for the slim chance that I'll get in the top 10, and im hamstringing myself not upgrading key officers like T pring, or chen or stonn, or gorkon, etc etc etc
spare creek
Less events need to be parsteel heavy in rewards. Increase unc c, dil, and tri please. I can’t upgrade ops without stronger ships... this is becoming boring
marsh anvil
Does anyone know if it matters which position the vulcan officer needs to be in for the current borg event?
Past events required captain, this event doesn't specify.
winged axle
@marsh anvil captain
It got changed after we told them in past event,probably forgot to do it again this time
marsh anvil
Thanks
fickle turtle
The Vulcan Logic event is very unclear. I'm interpreting it as a rare Vulcan on bridge of Vi'dar killing Borg gains an additional 5 points to the hostile points. (Why would you put a mining captain on the Vi'dar to hunt probes?)
After 1.5 years you would think the devs would be able to write up an event with greater clarity.
Also, is the change to Officer Upgrade events a permanent change (now shards rather than spend officer XP)? Clearly gaining shards is not upgrading an officer - it is more recruiting or promoting. This change could be made clearer as well. Moving the goalposts without informing players of the change is a bit unfair.
plush hedge
You bother with the leaderboard for the same reason you would bother with any other leaderboard - quite simply, you wouldn't. Almost no leaderboard in the history of this game has paid out rewards worth chasing it. If you enjoy the challenge of a leaderboard or find the activity fun, then go for it. Otherwise, like every other leaderboard in the game, just ignore it
winged axle
@plush hedge AoW leaderboards was nice.Could rank at least top 25 as F2P and with only a T6 Mf,T6 Kum and T5 Sally back then(6+ months ago)
plush hedge
I go all out on call 2 arms leaderboards because I like raiding and because the leaderboards are actually for a limited time. A 24 hour leaderboard is pointless. Nobody should be going all out on an event (maybe mining, since it's passive) for a whole day. It's just not healthy nor are the rewards ever worth it. Leaderboards should be 4-8h if they are ever to be worth even looking at.
winged axle
I dont have enough relos to rank in that event and people abuse the game mechanics so I dont like it
plush hedge
Yes, that was a problem early on. On our server, at least, it wasn't a problem for the last few. Or else, I wouldn't have bothered.

Could we get some solo events that give unc gas for rewards? All I see these days is either ore or Crystal for regular solos. And with the changed of daily events its only ore/Crystal. Only swarm event give out a decent amount of gas
stray harbor
@last cargo When you get to level 31, you’ll appreciate the crystal more. Nearly every station upgrade requires it.

Ugh... crystal? Who needs crystal anyway?

All 3 faction miners need crystal. 🥃

I need 750 uc crystal for my starbase, 110 for each dry dock, 1800 for my t6 sally and 3600 for my Kvort yet I am sat on 100m Tri and 1B Par unable to spend any of it. Like a big fat bullseye on my base for whenever the game glitches my shield.

it's the reason I've ignored kvort. Tiering my sally has better benefits
opal geyser
Need a weekly event like lat monday that gives one of each mat. Lat monday gives ore. Swarm sundays should give crystal and maybe borg wednesday to give gas
Sunday crystal and trit rewards, monday ore and parasteel and wednesday gas and dil sorted
vagrant topaz
Past a certain level swarm Sunday only gives gas and ore as uc rewards. Crystal is only rewarded as rares in top milestones
opal geyser
That's what I mean @vagrant topaz change it so each tier is just crystal rewards like lat moday is for ore at all levels
last cargo
@modern urchin I'm in the same situation as you but I already got the cry. I need gas for my brel, research station, defense plattforms, kvort and I got 3b par and 850m trit which currently has no use😂
modern urchin
it's the reason I've ignored kvort. Tiering my sally has better benefits
@sonic robin True but I can mine in warp 48 systems relatively unmolested. I have 2 mil unrefined crystals now! Just need a bonus refinery to use it all.
@opal geyser Yep I would love a weekly crystal event, Swarm Sundays give lots of rares (I have 600 rares but only 100 UC).
sonic robin
On my server you'll still get looted at W48 so it only benefits me slightly with a bigger cargo and faster mining. A bigger sally however means I can handly bigger faction sdailies and higher OP rewards => better rewards from every event

Nah, officer badges are fine kept in faction store IF they removed the onetime purchase limit

Are the 'officer shards events' ops level specific?
Or server specific?
At least I still get the old school xp based officer events 🖖

@vagrant topaz you mean like it used to be? 😂
barren shore
These new dailies are horrible, i can't grind uncommons or rates, i can't grind officer shards, this is basically refitting the dailiy events with a paywall, i have officer xp that i can spend from grinding as well as ship xp and speed ups for research/buildings, these are grindable, the new ones are not.....
#paytowin
frosty belfry
? I finished one of the new officer events just by doing the weekly swarm events 😅
And it just means you move to hoarding tokens instead of XP. There are pros and cons to both styles of events though, and I think both styles for them should be kept in regular rotation..
wet vale
Yeah i'd be fine with the officer badge packs in faction store, even at increased cost, if there was just one reliable way to get them other than spending £
vagrant topaz
They probably shouldn't be handed out like candy but to so blatantly lock them behind a paywall is obviously too far in the wrong direction too.

To be fair, I never have ship XP so both events are equally pants. I suppose at least I could finish ship xp events with lat.

There are pros and cons, I think they would just rotate the new and old events 🤷♂️

All this vote on a monthly event that lasts 2 or 3days and 2 weeks between votes is silly...
Next Borg arc not ready yet.. How about redoing other events,
Also why is same event on all servers.
What use is an armada event to a new server.
Or faction hunt etc...
And where are the regular events, build the Franklin 2 week event, the jellyfish event, augments, separists, all story line events, even north star event gone.
Yet all old servers have had them.... Now all new servers have us credit card pack events. Buy this,.. We've trashed events.
plush hedge
I agree - I change my vote to "I don't really care what event is next, just let me know in advance!"
toxic wraith
So Where's the events for the new people to get them to stay, where is the regular events calender, Where's the montku events that last a month, weekly.... All happening at same time...
Nowhere just oh here's an event called a monthly it's open for 2d, then next month we will have another.
Should be daily, weekly, monthly and epic all running at same time
Not oh when we feel like it we will make a monthly into a daily that happens every day all month.....
wraith halo
so, um, when're we going to get refunded our epic borg tokens and then have a borg store to spend our borg tokens on decent stuff then?

Very nice you offer a choice of events, now how about listing rewards for each event so players can make informed decisions 🙏🏻😇 rather than"ooh that sounds nice...? "🤦🏻

Better Alliance rewards for 3 day events this is meh
The stronger the alliance the better rewards they should get to encourage other alliances to get stronger
potent depot
Next 5ime may k suggest removing the previous event from your list of 2nd round voting. We're gonna end up with another round of faction hunt because you left it in there.
ivory river
We noticed that in the event tab the daily and monthly events are now grouped. As a result various ongoing events are now becoming even more confusing. Instead of repeatedly running more and more events in parallel Scopely should add interesting game content that goes beyond just killing red triangles all day long or waiting for mines and then being killed by fools once you find one. Also the game should not be so obviously just geared to spoon feeding players into buying packs. This is way to obvious and annoying. I am saying this although I bought a lot of packs. I believe the revenues can be optimized if more players play this game. At the present stage many players leave because the game is boring, expensive, buggy and annoying.

80 uncommons or 8 rares to win 7 uncommuns. Such a Scopely rate 💩

I love the idea of alliance milestones rather than alliance leaderboards.
winged axle
Me too!
ripe elm
Last time we really went hard at it...got one alliance milestone lol
winged axle
They made it a little bit easier this time
So you have more chance of finishing more milestones
plush hedge
Same. They don't seem to have a way to scale the event for alliance strength. That's unfortunate. But this time the first milestone is lower and many of our members have stronger ships than last time, so I'm hoping we can get a bit higher up.
winged axle
But I would suggest you to recruit more active people or merge with another alliance
ripe elm
We are the number 2 alliance on our server......
winged axle
Ouch
ripe elm
And there are none to recruit....100 total on server
plush hedge
One suggestion would be to give the alliance commander the option to choose what level of an event fits their alliance. Maybe a low milestone event with low rewards, a medium milestone event with medium rewards and then the big alliance event with big rewards for the big alliances
ripe elm
Or just merge our server already....PLEASE
winged axle
Yeah you guys need a serve merge which is still coming thoon
plush hedge
If they offered our alliance a milestone level target, we'd probably choose the medium target, and it would be a lot more fun for us.

Its funny....many of our tiered leaderboards have less than the 10 slots filled

Nice whale event. Event startet and top alliance of our server got already 50mio points... If scopely want to fair, they would change the system- 1 NPC : 1 Point and not Adjusted to npc levels. But they only care about $€£... what a poor attitude.
snow solar
Points for using Franklin doesn't count
plush hedge
I don't know what you are talking about. I only wish the alliance leaderboard paid out more per level of hostile. Unfortnately, it really easy for people to AFK farm hostile aggro for max event points... GRRR
winged axle
@plush hedge he us saying it is unfair because whales have bigger ships and can kill lvl55s traders 🤦🏻♂️ so wants every kill to be 1 point which makes buying stronger ships or upgrading them meaningless....
It is just how game works.You buy bigger ships or upgrade ships by spending money or waiting a long time then use those in events to score more points 🤷♂️
So I cant understand those people who complain about that
plush hedge
That doesn't make sense because you only get more points for the solo milestone, which ... who cares because everyone will easily finish that. I finished the solo milestone in 30 minutes
oh alliance leaderboard maybe - I don't even watch leaderboards
winged axle
He is talking about alliance leaderboard that doesnt even pay enough trit for repair cost
plush hedge
because all leaderboards are garbage and should be ignored
winged axle
Yep
idle hazel
<@&509691205798592532> could you please pass on to scopely to add the ship bp packs to everyone's store. My guys asked about it and it would fit the event considering we get more points for faction ships. Thanks...have a great day
plush hedge
I like the lower milestone, but honestly the lowest tier should probably me more like 300K or 400K. That would be significantly more motivating for most alliances
open otter
@idle hazel ship bps packs are put on sale at certain times, and its for specific people, from what you said, the packs aren't on sale, and i doubt they will be
yeah, they only lowered the first milestone by 60k points
its still good, but it still has room to improve, id say, the max should be like 1.5mil, and the first goal should be 500k
idle hazel
Thanks @open otter but I asked for a moderator to pass it on..and I'm aware of how the packs work
meager canyon
The Crucible of War event ... seems to be a little unfair despite what it says.
Seems only alliances with 69 active members with T2 or better is capable of hitting #1 tier in the event. This amounts to 383 ships needing to destroyed by each member using a T2 combat ship.
The cost effectiveness of this becomes hugely disproportionate for any alliances with less members, like me at 4 active members.
winged axle
@meager canyon I would say it is quite possible with 45+ members
meager canyon
its possible, but costly.
winged axle
Have you seen the rewards in alliance store?It is worth it
meager canyon
Yes I have seen it, this is why I made my statement.
It is worth it for people of level 69+
winged axle
So let's say 45 players finished their solo events for 3 days-> that is 1.6m-1.8m points depending on what ship they used.They need 400k points at max and 200k at minimum so that is 2k hostiles at max and 1k at minimum by using a lvl28 ship
meager canyon
When the average cost of a full repair for a T2 combat ship is 300k tritanium.
winged axle
I can kill 1-2k lvl1 hostiles with my Sally and it would only cost 400k trit
Dont forget that level of hostile doesnt matter
So if you are short on trit,go kill lvl1 hostiles
winged axle
Ah okay,then not that costly 🙂
meager canyon
yes, if we spend the time beating up leve 1s 😄

@vagrant topaz @halcyon perch
Just out of curiosity, have you two checked the total points added or are you just going by the banner? The banner has long been known to be unhelpful in showing total points earned. It's tricky to compare actual points gained due to alliance and no member contribution list, but by using 2 ships in quick succession I was able to show 10 points increase using Franklin on swarm (as expected).
halcyon perch
ok, thanks, I was not informed of the banner error... I do the other control
north moth
@halcyon perch have you had any response? I'm experiencing the same thing
@frosty belfry I'll check and verify that
signal tapir
Not tricky when you're in a solo alliance. I can see all the points added in the banner. Total points includes any ship bonuses even though it only adds 1 point. Visual bug.

More pars would bae been good to have pars, tri and dill rewards different rss for each day
stone tiger
Events where you have to shoot hostiles should add bonus points for targeting armada's.
vagrant topaz
Well up to 6 of you all score for one target plus while you're waiting for the timer you can farm with another ship so....there's that
5 sallys hitting 1 armada = 150 points to alliance milestone event
Lvl33 armada = 2750 points to alliance leaderboard too (550 pts x5)

@CheapWhisky#4072 just because it has been stated doesnt mean I can't disagree with it. It is bs

So then whales can jump from alliance to alliance during an event to power their friends to victory. Makes no sense. Very unfair. This was the point of going to event chat and reading it.
neon oasis
why not just have your contributions only follow you not every alliance you're with?
Then you can only benefit the alliance you're on.
mild glacier
that was the problem, whales were jumping alliances and getting multiple alliance rewards. this was the solution, you keep your solo awards but lose the chance at alliance rewards.
you can still help out the alliance you join, you just don't get the rewards for it. it's actually very fair as you can max out your alliance rewards then jump to another alliance to help max theirs, then jump back before the event ends. most events are at least 2 days so it works out just fine.
the only thing you really end up missing out on is leaderboard awards.
neon oasis
I cannot help the alliance I joined
None of my points are contributing, that's whats bs
mild glacier
Ah i see. yeah I see how that can be annoying. just gotta pick what events you want to sacrifice when you jump groups then.
neon oasis
That rule makes no sense. I should be able to contribute and receive any award once. Shifting alliances should only allow me to receive awards I have not gotten yet.

Hello Guys. I am currently trying to get some points for the alliance milestone of the crucible of war Event and have recovered a possible Problem with the counting of the Pointe. I have used a Vi'Dar and a Centurion for Huntington enemies and in my opinion in the case of using a Centurion for every destroyed enemy there should be 1 + 29 points counted but I always get only 1 point. Same thing with the Vi'Dar. Is there something dringend in my thinking or with the scoring??? Please comment.
Sorry instead of "dringend" there should be the word "wrong"

I would like to give some feedback on the crucible of war. It’s incredibly demoralizing to have put a lot of effort and energy into this event and not be able to reap any tangible benefit. My alliance managed to only crack the first milestone, which was disproportionately high compared to any of the subsequent milestones. And then I took a closer look at the alliance trophy rewards. My alliance will need to clear another 2 milestones to reap any reward for my work and time. I understand the group dynamic, but for alliances that manage to reach the first two milestones but not receive any benefit is a good way to lose players.
modern urchin
I guess we are the lucky ones, managed to complete the thresholds in one maybe two days... The resource tokens are useful though and I like the fact you can choose what to spend the tokens on. Much better that the 'Epic' rewards from 3 months of grinding the borg arc.

How stupid is this 😡. Once you are Level 40 ALL Event rewards are ONLY 4-star-stuff! I still need thousands of 3* uncommon and rares for R&D, ships and buildings 😡😡😡! Why can‘t we choose whether we want 3* or 4* rewards?
sonic robin
got to love how they increased the points needed by 50%...guess nerfing events we enjoy instead of improving events we dislike is easier for them....
sonic robin
I actually wouldn't mind the point increase if they'd also fixed the points given at the same time. Killing a red 3 levels below me gives 6 points, killing one 3 levels above me gives 9 points. I think we all know those 6 levels is much more than a 50% increase in the power of said hostiles

kindred nest
Please revert the Ship and Officer daily events to 'spend XP' rather than 'acquire shards' / Spend G4 UC Ship Parts. The old mechanic was an essential part of the economy, as we were able to spend things we could grind at reasonable rates (or Lat) to acquire mats & rss.
The old Ship XP events also enabled high level players (lvl40+) to acquire G3 Ore/Gas/Crystal (yes, we still need G3!). The new ship events give only G4 mats, in exchange for spending G4 UC Ship Parts which are extraordinarily hard to acquire. Consequently, the new ship events are next to useless, as hardly anyone can do them. Yet there seems to be one running all the time now.

You asked for player requested feedback for events and decided f*** the fan requests well punish them for asking for faction hunt by making event unreasonably more difficult?

We understand your frustration. The team has advised that the difficulty will revert to its original level tomorrow. 🤞

It would be fine if the rewards were increased commensurate with the difficulty. difficulty went up 50%, rewards should do the same.

I contacted scopely about the leaving alliance during events problem and they seemed to respond positively. I feel like I'm right about this. What should be the case is if you switch alliances, you should only be able to get the rewards you have not received yet, not the system they have where you receive none at all.

They aren't changing the Event Mid-way through the Day, when the Event RESETS it will be the Lower version, So people aren't going to be losing out on it, if you finish the first day, everyone will get the First day rewards, and then everyone will get the 2nd day rewards if they finish the 2nd days rewards. @weary plaza

Commanders,
Due to the overwhelming feedback you've given us due to the longer time needed to complete of the Faction Hunt event, we will be bringing down the time required significantly to match that of previous events.
We apologise for the inconvenince this has caused.
Surely increasing the time or decreasing the difficulty, not decreasing the time when the complaint is there isn't enough time?
Or am I reading it incorrectly?
vagrant topaz
@flint crow our issue isn't the increase to the grind it's the rewards remaining unchanged
The increased grind is annoying af when you have already planned for a certain amount of time but to then be slapped in the face with a stagnant reward tree is just insulting.

It’s 1 point per donation. Doesn’t matter what you donate or how much

Though I get it that these recent events are geared towards alliance incentives, but they do very little for the independents' interest in keeping with the game.
Important Note: Alliances will always have their incentives just by t he sheer nature of what an alliance is. And based on the alliance's performances, will acquire, retain or lose members.
So where are the events geared for Solo? What incentives are there? The rewards are not quite as good.
I have ideas for three major events that will hit on the trifecta of how to keep a game interesting, retain players and build revenue.

Players: we call that a “game lag” event 😩
hard hollow
I am sure this is exactly as intended 🤯
hard hollow
One person alliance in second place
neon oasis
@river merlin no need to be rude
neon oasis
Some servers are younger and can't contribute as much as you
The input you gave is only demeaning and isn't productive
Saying "weak" is rude
and ignorant
river merlin
if you feel that way might be soft
neon oasis
No it's simple human decency, be polite
neon oasis
Great, some server's max players are 25
So no, it's not fair to call them weak because they haven't been on as long as you
river merlin
hes contributing to it just like everyone else
neon oasis
And he has more rss than everyone else because he's level 43
Pretty basic mathematics you're missing
So don't be rude.
river merlin
hes spending just like everyone else i dont see a "grand" difference
neon oasis
If he started his own alliance at the beginning of this, he's able to contribute more than others
split sigil
Do you know if the use office xp events will come back or is it earn shards forever?
neon oasis
I hope so, but everyone has probably been saving it up.
At my level, I have around 8 million officer xp, but so does everyone else lol
split sigil
Yeah I'm 10 and have 800k. Dont want to spend if events are coming back but would like to upgrade crew as well
neon oasis
I feel the same way lol
split sigil
Is there a list of servers with age and average level of players?
jovial zinc
I hate the new peace shield. This means players can shield 24/7 with shields just from doing daily’s. You are effectively cutting out PvP. Really bad move. So very bad.
vagrant topaz
They still have to remember to shield...then remember to double check it didn't bug
neon oasis
Not really, when people get raided it's because they forgot to bubble.
This isn't an events feedback, I'd recommend going to a different board.
We're talking about it right how in #💬-general-feedback
hollow egret
This event IS DUMB AF, allows any playerr to drop out of allaince, create new one, and donate at super low levels compaired to a real alliance, and doesnt even need at ton of rss to do it
neon oasis
@hollow egret AGREED
plush willow
How to beat scopelys IQ
neon oasis
Yeah pretty dumb

The "help all" button seems a bit flaky - there were two help requests, I did Help All, only got 1 point (at least per the notification message)
old quarry
Yeah, you have to click on each individual help request to get the max points. Help All = 1 point
neon oasis
Help all isn't 1 point for me
old quarry
It might be a banner thing then, I definitely only get +1 on the banner.
winged axle
Yeah probably
neon oasis
Why is the Celebration Piñata in the recruitments tab?
That doesn't make sense 😂 shouldn't it be in event store?
And my banner shows +10 when there's 10 requests
late gale
If I click send help in each of the 10 requests, the banner shows 10 points. But if I click Send All, the banner shows just 1 point. Seems to be just display, as others mentioned
coarse drift
Originally I had over 400...they sure did round it down
neon oasis
I think you were able to buy more
river merlin
nah
vernal isle
I think you were able to buy more
@neon oasis incorrect. Only were rewarded from milestones in the month long borg events.
coarse drift
Three months...and I was able to pull four chests...big guns in my alliance pulled more. I'm trying to remember if it was 100 per pull though
neon oasis
@vernal isle I stand corrected
little plover
Getting so bored of endless crap events and glitches. Allince celebration event. click help.... help one person at a time I get no points sometimes I get 1 point sometimes i get 5 points sometimes up to 15points. The stated points are 1 point per help given then why the f is it so inconsistent like every other boring bugged event lately
green bloom
I don't know what's worse ship stuck in battle therefor not being able to ask for help or the purple bubble never showing up, but when I go under alliance then help, there's 10 waiting. Next time make events that don't focus on the worst long time bugs this game has had.
@little plover the response i got from scopley support is those random scores are your entire alliance since last update of scores or something like that..anyways it group score increase not just yours
Right? Lets make an event knowing that the help system is terrible and unreliable
little plover
@green bloom I appreciate your response but the simple fact I click on the help button and nothing shows that I've added to the event... To the point not only my self but many other on the server are sick to death of boring and glitchy game play. Ships stuck in a battle loop, ships not docking when returning back to base, the scopely store pricing horrendously over priced... Double even triple chat posting it's got to be said scopely are failing to address the issues and failing to keep the game consistent
obsidian jolt
Define abusing....
signal tapir
Probably all of them. If you ain't cheatin, you ain't tryin
ionic briar
my alliance is at lv 23, and I'm a lv 29 player, we can only contribute trit, dil or lat... but the big players just form like a dozen of solo alliances on their own and simply contribute the par that they earned in the recent events
And tbh idk if there is any point in complaining because they wont change this event anyway
obsidian jolt
Abusing.... capitalizing..... perspective is important
ionic briar
so only way is to wait for months or years till they organise the event again and hope that maybe at that time they fix it
obsidian jolt
My alliance is at a level where we can use par and dil so it’s not a problem
ionic briar
Which level are you at?
obsidian jolt
15
ionic briar
Ohh
obsidian jolt
Alliance level 15
signal tapir
Crash envoy into big ship.
Repair envoy.
Press help button.
Repeat
ionic briar
yeah that might be the only option
obsidian jolt
You just gotta find a way to keep breathing with all these whales ....🐳

If this game didn't cost premium money i would give scopley some wiggle room on a new event, but this is like the Ferrari of games and they forgot to put air in the tires.
mild glacier
wait, there's tires?
i always had the impression we were only moving forward by the force of gravity, careening end over end down the mountainside toward our inevitable doom.
vernal isle
my alliance is at lv 23, and I'm a lv 29 player, we can only contribute trit, dil or lat... but the big players just form like a dozen of solo alliances on their own and simply contribute the par that they earned in the recent events
@ionic briar this is honestly just about the worst way to do this event. That’s not cheating, that’s not thinking. Any halfway decent group of players should know how to outwork that with far less spending than those people are doing.
sonic robin
The top 3 alliances on my server (I'm in one of them) are all just using the envoy tactic
Yeah you'll score high initially through the solo alliance thing but to keep up with a big alliance all doing that....big resource requirements for the rewards
vernal isle
☝🏽 ding ding ding ding. If it took anyone more than a few seconds to realize that’s how to win this, I feel sorry for them. You don’t need to be big, you don’t need to be strong, you don’t need billions of par or trit, you just need to be active.
neon oasis
Server 12, no abusing
weary plaza
They aren't changing the Event Mid-way through the Day, when the Event RESETS it will be the Lower version, So people aren't going to be losing out on it, if you finish the first day, everyone will get the First day rewards, and then everyone will get the 2nd day rewards if they finish the 2nd days rewards. @weary plaza No what i meant was an event had totally finished - i had scored x at 1300 for example - someone else also scored x but at 1400 so they got first prize....really isnt fair
@uneven relic
plush moon
So which is the correct ability?
uneven relic
Your looking at the wrong one thats why....
ionic briar
lol
uneven relic
the ability refers to the Defenses are irrelevant
ionic briar
Will we be able to recruit borg jaylah using regular epic recruit tokens (the pack that requires 800 tokens and drops epic officers)?
vagrant topaz
@plush moon Have asked, it's the one on the image.
That's the correct one. Other will be adjusted soon
ionic briar
I wish we can get the borg officers in the event at least this time by grinding
the last time it was just the players who could buy n spend the most UCs
plush moon
Thanks @vagrant topaz
vagrant topaz
Sure thing mate
uneven relic
they didn't double check their grammer and text
ionic briar
Would we get to recruit the officers this time? using the epic recruit tokens?
neon oasis
Will we get 50 more vidar bp?
vagrant topaz
Nothing mentioned in patch notes@neon oasis panic will be doing a q&a soon(ish) ask him there
vagrant topaz
Give us a mining event please.
@prime gulch Ask scopley to give us a mining event, please.
plush moon
Does a lvl 39 refinery give more UC and Rare ore/gas/crystal than a lvl 30 refinery?
tacit marsh
It happens that only levels 25 and up have the right to participate in the events, always the same if you are not among the greats, you can never participate, the events must be for everyone, not for some, that is a great mistake that you keep committing over and over again.
little plover
@prime gulch yet another f..king even most people can't participate in unless they have deep wallats. Literally no way of competing or no way of finishing the event by spending uncommon mats with 750 uncommon mats per upgrade and 7.5mill per upgrade most people will take well over a week to do just 1 upgrade. Meaning MOST people will not be able to participate unless that have deep wallats where the fun in that for the majority of the players
tiny portal
Thanks Scopely for the new bugs, very handy 👍🏽 Am getting constantly killed and couldn’t finish the Faction Hunt event, because the game is so slow and crashing always. Thanks!
weak terrace
💩 spend materials to get credits for event store. That is the worst idea. P2W events
I can’t because of refinery and high requirement for ships upgrades
last cargo
Could you throw in badges in the event store?
vagrant topaz
I dont think I can get anything out if this event bc of how much it all costs to buy with and receive points
As high lvl f2p this arc is a kick in junk
daring flame
How the hell is a lvl 20 meant to spend 2.8K G3 rare
plush hedge
Event totally about spending. And it starts an hour before the faction rep dailies reset.... sigh Please sync events.
stone tiger
I can see updating to level 26 was a great mistake
winged bison
Ok Scopely nice one! You had the Ship Upgrade Event (s) for the whole of last week, make everyone spend their G3/G4 on those events and are pretty much empty now. And then you follow it up with the first event of the Borg to spend G3/G4. Not sure what vocabulary I can use to describe what you have just done.
stone tiger
The developers now assume I have 8 horizons and have mined as much as level 29 players
How the hell am I supposed to outspend high level players to win assimilated officers?
trim cove
Do you guys think when you do missions what the pontnof donating 500k to get 99k back. 150 plus something else or just make it less but this is silly
little plover
@panic think there's a lot of pissed of people with this bs Borg mats system... To add to it I've done 2 Borg missions and no way of thinking if I've completed the string or not YET ANOTHER PISS POOR SYSTEM AND POORLY THOUGHT OF EVENT.....
dense anchor
it appears the event missions have failed....everyone i know got to the penitent man and that was it, but clearly that was not the end of the story
plush hedge
Maybe they are releasing the missions via a drip feed so we don't go into a coma doing 3 hours of mindnumbing missions back to back to back.
thorny perch
ehm... is the new borg-quest thing finished after the 2nd quest?! Where's it going on?
wintry schooner
Honestly getting a bit sick of the constantly pushed price point of the game. It would be fun were it not for this. The events service the high paying players. The mini-events service the high paying players, and the restrictions in game for things like uncommon materials is just cruel. It's impossible to compete in the events by levelling ships when you can refine 7 or sometimes non at all every 9 hours and you need 1800 to level a ship. Why the hell would you base a guild event around doing this? Please look at the business model - having 5 million people pay you £10 a month is better than 100 people mortgaging their houses to buy tier 4 of a G3 ship.....
thorny perch
The price-performance ratio is absolutely wrong
dense anchor
greed, glorious greed....
feral marsh
Can we get a <@&509691205798592532> to answer what's up with the mission chain?
winged axle
@feral marsh
feral marsh
So it's supposed to just end like it's in the middle of traditional mission chain?
We literally just few to 2 systems and that was it
dense anchor
clearly it’s not supposed to - it just failed. a bug, isn’t that unusual??? 🙄
vagrant topaz
All those event is to take ur money
meager canyon
@prime gulch Here is a suggestion. Have an event that follows a story line that requires you to kill 20 or so players ...
The restrictions would be to systems based on level. For balance, only ships of the same power level can compete against each other. Very unfair to have a level 41 camp and kill level 37 and below.
frail thunder
Seriously????? second mission 500k Tritanium donation. The one thing I cant get to save my butt.
250 million steel and cant get Tritanium rewards on any missions. Always steel steel steel
Do you guys think when you do missions what the pontnof donating 500k to get 99k back. 150 plus something else or just make it less but this is silly
@trim cove I can't get Tritanuim to save my butt. Seems like every mission always gives you tons of steel. I have over 250 million.
woeful narwhal
Nothing says “give me all your money Whale’s and get lost the rest of you” more than the “spend everything you have” events. It was pants for the jelly, it’s pants for the rest of it. Give some more love to the wider customer base and not just the whales that feed you money
mighty sluice
@ panic Be nice to have a event that was not geared to reward the whales that can spend a few thousand dollars on this game. While others are looking at unemployment.
frail thunder
Now that I have had time to look through all the events. I'm pretty much out of it. I have a total of 295k Tritanium. I can't donate the 500k to continue the missions and I can't upgrade my D3 for the "Strengthen the Fleet" mission because I need Titanium. I can't do the other 2 monthly mission because I'm not a wallet warrior. So I hope you guys who fork out 100's of dollars enjoy the event.
neon oasis
As a level 24 I should not be in the same leaderboard as a 29.
I usually get 1st in all the daily events and now I can't compete
twilit lintel
D'vor and /or Franklin parts in the event store! Takes about 10 mouse clicks to get one part. This is unbelievably frustrating.
hollow frost
We need to be able to buy Charged Nanoprobes in this event... would help a ton of folks with lower lvl Vidar’s. Also conversion rate is pretty low...
Also special Borg officer ultra tokens need to give chance of a Lucky Pull.
tall hearth
<@&509690795536941056> <@&509691205798592532>
First I apologize for the mention, now let's move on to the complaint.
3 months of hard effort gave us a disappointment of prizes, so great was that the company had to go backwards, they have given us the tokens of those 3 months ... for selectable prizes that even so in proportion are even worse, the prices from the event store are exaggerated for how insufficient they are, not to mention the events that ask you a lot for so little prize, forcing people to pay if they really want to win something decent in the events ... but the offers too they give a garbage for what they cost.
They are killing the game, but they do not care as long as the players continue to pay exaggerated amounts, I doubt that my opinion changes anything, but I hope that the players who read this stop paying, put on their shields and say "I do not play or pay until they think more in us than in the money we have "
dark horizon
can (they could but will they) the developers fix the event store ? You have the option to buy only one chest of whatever for most of those items, and when you buy, you get sent out of the event store, so you have to switch the tab again, and scroll all the way to the item you are trying to get more of

Event Feedback -
Good:
Peaceshield changes. Lowering prices on them and the 12 hour especially. This should help us all sleep better and have a natural life/game balance.
5/10, 10/10 available in the 2x Officer bundle. I've been wanting to get these officers and not a fan of the ranked spend events as the only way.
Bad:
Seems like they just ramping this arc up, but lack of anything to do (hostile hunt, mine, tribble) is a negative. All the progress is on Resource Spend.
The 2x doesn't actually seem to work. I spockpiled 120k ultra's and opened 30k worth of chests. My 5/10 only increased from like 15 to 25. My most recent 5 chest was 5x Gorkon and other officers and only 1x 10/10 and 1x 5/10. Really would have expected the 2x to give Borg officers at a much, much greater rate compared to other officers.
obtuse wraith
Please take some the zeros away. Let me give you some quick calculations. To complete this at ops 40, I have to spend on my ships 6282 3^ Rares or 15k uncommon 3*... surely the event is way off?
foggy elm
@obtuse wraith you can buy packs though. Shouldn’t be a problem.
neon oasis
Why noy give 10 chests too??? Wtf
keen dawn
Yay. Yet another poorly engineered event with unattainable goals and obscene exchange rates.
dark horizon
yeah, you will get carpal tunnel from trying to buy any of those BPs
ivory skiff
hey whats with this event showing me all for event but 0 event pages for me and 0 missions that actually for my lvl so u given me the option to look at a lvl 12 ship while im lvl 16 trying to do lvl 25 missions when im lvl 25 i dont even think thats gonna be the best ship please give more balanced events for the players and fair play new normal events for all players at the lvl 14-17 18 ye have put it up but if win once more likely u gonna win rest of the new events please make more balanced
obtuse wraith
@foggy elm you can stuff your tongue where the sun don’t shine and make some light

the best event feedback possible would be to lock the wallets somewhere safe

Please give us the chance to buy more than only 1 D‘Vor part at once!!
formal solstice
Lol how’s meant to mine for this or raid these days
buoyant shell
I love how they expect me to be able to participate in "strengthen the fleet" by myself. As someone who just reached level 25, it would take me 28k points to get all the milestones. That means in four days, in addition to spending a whole bunch of materials, I would need to spend an astronomical amount of resources too. By my calculations, assuming I somehow don't run out of materials, I would be spending well over a hundred million tritanium. That is completely unfeasible for most unless we spend tons of money. At the very least, if we are going to be given this task, it needs to be made a group alliance effort. At least that way we actually have a chance. And while I'm at it, I would like to see the North Star in event rewards. I haven't seen it in a long time, and I know that I have leveled past the point where it would offer it as one, and that I don't need one, I would still like to own one. Its speed makes it useful. As a free to play player, I racked up 60 of the 90 blueprints needed, and I was really looking forward to the opportunity to get it next event. While I might have considered paying for one much earlier in the game (and to be quite honest I was never given the chance after the initial level 18 special until one random day after I had reached level 18), but I even if I decided for some reason to pay, I wouldn't have payed for all the blueprints when I only need a third of them. Anyway, the strengthen the fleet event is so ridiculously unfeasible for free to play members of the community its actually laughable. Something needs to be done about it. And I've already seen similar statements so I know others agree. Now that I've given my two cents, maybe consider implementing a method to convert the premium reward tokens that were never put to use for people who didn't buy the packs. Those who did got something out of them, at the very least it would be nice to get something out of them too, even if its of a much lesser value.
formal solstice
I think we are getting it now scopley dont care about what we want they just want us to spend, but also read the t&c of playing, there is a way of claiming any monies back spent
dense cliff
Event store menus are borked. Every time you back out of on of the item tabs in the event store it brings you all the way back to the general events window. So if you want to say buy 45 franklin prints. You have to click event store...scroll to franklin bp...buy one and repeat that process 45 times. 🙄
formal solstice
It’s funny how most the managers mods and creators just sit there silent and cant give us a reason for there decisions of breaking things yet again. Guess they think lock down means no answers to there customers f2p pr p2p
wheat prawn
@prime gulch please pass this in to the decision makers: These opening events for an epoc event is a horrible attempt to grab money from people - many who are out of work and are struggling to take care of their families. The requirement to spend 3* uncommon and rares should NOT be in these events. You have literally cut the ability of a large portion of your clientele to participate fully
supple coyote
bit sucky that lvl 24s can do the missions but didnt get the event to get the rewards others are getting
